Send last-minute email reminders with eye-catching images.

Email campaigns are very effective in reminding your customers about your promotions. Input all the important details in the body, like the discount percentage, coupon codes, length of the promotions, and the particular jewelry pieces. Make sure that you include high-quality photos as well and be creative. Use your most elegant jewelry display and make sure the lighting is perfect.

Display a promotion banner and make sure it’s updated!

Update your website with promotion banners. These should include the coupon code, restrictions, and other information. Announcing your promotions on your social media accounts is not enough, as the products can be viewed and bought on your e-commerce website.

Create Stories or go live.

Utilize the Stories feature in your Instagram and Facebook accounts. Update people of your latest promotions as well as your best-selling items. Another option is to post a live video; take users on a tour of your jewelry store and if you are solely an e-commerce business, take close-shots of your jewelry. You can continue posting even on the day itself!

Be more generous with exclusive flash sales.

Try to be more generous and lower your prices slightly further via flash sales! Set a specific time, preferably your site’s downtime.

Keep people excited with these flash sales, and you sure are going to boost your profits this long Holiday shopping weekend. Don’t forget to mention your other items for as well, so they get exposure too.

How to Choose Jewelry Boxes for Packaging

Pack your items in boxes that will leave your customers in awe.

Packaging is one of the most important strategies in the jewelry industry. You have to be able to make an impression on your customers even after purchase. You have to remember that customers re-use these boxes, so you have to make sure that they can stand the test of time.

If you are looking for new jewelry boxes for your items this season, follow this simple guide on how to choose the perfect ones.

Make sure they’re made with high-quality materials.

As mentioned above, they have to stand wear and tear. Some customers use them as jewelry display organizers at home or storage for other things and trinkets. Others even re-use them as gift boxes. That said, only buy in bulk from trusted sellers who you are sure manufacture boxes that will last for long.

They should be the right size.

Not all jewelry items of the same size, so you’ll need boxes of different sizes. One mistake some sellers make it that they settle only for one box size. Don’t make the same mistake; get boxes exclusively for each item you are selling. It would be awkward to place a pair of earrings in a box intended for necklaces. Doing so might also turn your customers off, so it’s best to avoid this practice.

Pick the perfect design.

Jewelry box designs should generally match the theme of your store. If you sell vintage-style pieces, it’s best to go with brown boxes with old newspaper designs or those with vintage florals or filigree. If you sell fine jewelry, it’s best to go with minimalist solid-colored ones, preferably in sleek black or gray. Your packaging should be able to reflect your shop or brand’s personality and style.

Check the inside of the box.

Sometimes, only the outside of the box looks high-quality, but the inside isn’t. When picking out boxes, make it a habit to check the inside as well. It should be covered in material like faux suede or velvet to protect the jewelry pieces from getting scratches. It should also include foam pads, slits, or clips to make sure the jewelry stays secure inside.

Include your logo.

This one is optional, you can have the boxes customized to carry your logo or not. If you choose the former, make sure that it is not too big. Make it as discreet and classy as possible. Remember that many customers love to re-use jewelry box packaging so do them a favor and keep your logos small.

5 Ways to Appreciate Our Dear Veterans

Make them happy and feel loved, they deserve that.

Veterans Day is just a week from now. And if you’re thinking of ways to make them feel special, then you’ve landed on the right article. This week, we’ve listed down five different ways on how to show them how thankful we are and that we appreciate everything they did for us and the country.

Say thank you!

Of course, a “thank you” should be the first thing that you should do! You can do this either in person or on social media. If you ran into a veteran or a member of a military in any place, smile, shake their hand, and say a heartfelt and sincere thank you.

Gift them with something personalized.

Presents are appreciated, especially if they are custom-made. If you have a veteran in the family, this is one good way to make them feel special. You can get them a jewelry display or a watch organizer with their name engraved on the cover. If you are into arts and crafts, you can DIY a gift box filled with their favorite items!

Send them handwritten cards.

Even in this digital age, believe it or not, written letters and cards are very much appreciated, especially to the older people who were used to this kind of communication. Send handwritten greeting cards to all the veterans you know, as well as to those who are alone in the VA hospital. You can also visit them there and ask the nurse for each of their names. As mentioned above, personalized is always better!

Show your support in the community.

It doesn’t have to be a city-wide thing; you can start with your neighborhood. You can organize a small event for the veterans in your area, like a parade or a fundraiser show where everyone entertains them with music from their time. You can also put up thank you banners and display the US flag outside your home.

Don’t forget our fallen heroes.

Lastly, do not forget to visit those who lost their lives for the country. You can go to a veteran’s cemetery, a memorial, or walls of remembrance tributes and place flowers or letters. They may not be able to smell the blooms or read the cards, but doing so is one thoughtful way of honoring them. Plus, it will give you a happy feeling that will last throughout the day

The Many Types of Tray Displays

Looking for alternative displays? Go with trays!

When the word “tray” is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is food or cafeteria. However, in the jewelry industry, trays are used as jewelry displays and organizers. They are a great help for brands who are trade and show and craft show regulars as they can double as a display and as storage. That said, we are giving the spotlight to the different types of trays from our collection this week.

Wood display

Our rustic wood displays are perfect both for display and storage. They are available in four colors -- brown, coffee, oak, and white. These stackable trays give off a rustic feel making them ideal for brands that have a vintage or rustic theme. Wood trays with dividers are perfect for small items like rings and earrings and even beads, while ones without dividers are for bigger pieces like necklaces, bangles, or jewelry sets.

Plastic display

If you think wooden trays are a bit heavy, you can opt for the plastic ones. They are lightweight, stackable, and are also easy to store. These trays come without any dividers, but they fit full-sized pads or inserts, in case you want to display rings or earrings, and other pieces separately.

Deluxe display

Deluxe displays are perfect for fine jewelry. Our deluxe wooden trays feature velvet, faux suede, and leatherette covers. Some of these trays already come with pads, inserts, and ring clips while some have dividers and removable tabs. Plus, they come in many different colors and designs.

Gemstone display

If you are selling healing crystals, these gemstone trays are perfect. They help with organizing different kinds of stones and provide hassle-free storage. The trays also come with a foam insert with gem jars to protect each crystal from scratches or any other form of damage. They are also ideal as display and storage for beads, coins, and other small trinkets.

Bead board and compartment trays

There are also the bead board trays that are ideal for jewelry makers and craft enthusiasts. Although they are not a good choice for displaying jewelry pieces, the bead board trays are great for stringing and keeping beads in line. The regular compartment trays, on the other hand, may not be that eye-catching to use as displays, but they are great for storing your items after the trade or craft show. Nevertheless, they can be decorated to transform into displays too, especially the wooden ones.
