The business of jewelry requires multiple strengths and skills. Having a keen eye for design definitely helps, especially for creators and those who work in jewelry display and styling. Likewise, knowing the art of persuasion is definitely an asset especially during promotions and selling. And then there are aspects of the business where you can apply both, like in marketing.

If your shop is in the planning stages of its 2022 marketing calendar then we have a few great ideas here to start you off on the right path. From there, you can flex those creative muscles and show off some persuasive know-how to come up with campaigns that the public would notice and help your business make huge gains this year.



Growing your presence online:



1. Start a business website.

If you still haven’t taken part in building your presence online then now is the perfect time to do so. As nations all over implemented stay-at-home orders during the COVID-19 health crisis, the buying public went digital to buy both necessities and luxury items, and with it came the boom of e-commerce. And while brick-and-mortar jewelry shops continue to operate and be visited by customers, an online platform can still greatly help boost the sales performance of both new and well-established stores.

You can start by exploring website builders such as Wix and GoDaddy which come with versatile templates that come with various features and designs to ensure you have a functional online store.



2. Perform search engine optimization to boost your site’s ranking.

The next step to take after building a website is to ensure it is discoverable to people online. That’s where the process called “search engine optimization” comes in. It involves taking into account ranking factors implemented by search engines to organize and rank the websites on their listings. The goal is to push your website to the first page of results so that they are easily found and clicked on by users. This is are all done organically, meaning without the assistance of ad placement which involves paying for a spot on a webpage.

Search engine optimization or SEO involves a two-pronged approach: on-page and off-page SEO. On-page SEO processes involve work that has something to do with the tweaking and updating of on-page elements to improve rankings. This includes writing valuable content relevant to your business or niche, site mapping, the use of tags in titles and images, among others. Off-page SEO, meanwhile, is any activity done outside of the website to boost its rankings. This includes link building and social media promotions.



3. Boost efforts to promote on social media.

For smaller shops or those who are just starting out, selling on social media is a great alternative to fully opening up an e-commerce site. Choose platforms that are highly visual such as Facebook or Instagram as product photography is crucial to promoting your business. To stand out from all the other shops on social media, it’s important to invest in top-notch photography, as well as aesthetically-pleasing setups that include the jewelry merchandise, their jewelry display tools, and props.

Besides selling, being on social media is a great way to engage with your buyers, so make it a point to provide content that is interesting and most of all valuable (jewelry care tips, styling guides) to your customers. This will help build your brand with your target audience—and with the shareable nature of these sites—to the public at large.

4. Tap video hosting sites to spread the word about your shop online.

Technically still a part of social media, video hosting sites such as YouTube and TikTok also have a community built around them that makes them great platforms for promoting your merchandise and brand. This time posts go beyond the usual static images you see on most social media apps. Though Facebook and Instagram can also host videos, purely video hosting sites can run longer clips, affording businesses and marketers with more robust content and a more engaged audience.

Again, entertaining and valuable content is the key to success here so make sure to come up with something useful to your target audiences such as product guides and styling tips.



Making your mark through offline branding initiatives:



5. Establish your identity with a consistent look, color, and language.

Whether you’re a newbie thinking of an identifier for your business or a long-time player who is due for an image refresh, it’s important to have consistency with any of your branding and marketing efforts. This means your promotional materials and the elements surrounding them (logo, imagery, colors, tone, language) should remind consistent all throughout. 

It starts with making the decision on the image you want to project to the public. Your preferred image could then help shape what your brand’s logo, dominant colors, tone, and voice would be. 

In jewelry retail, you can choose to go for a classic and sophisticated appeal, a more contemporary edgy vibe, or something else different altogether. What is important is that the chosen concept should be applied in all of the shop’s packaging or marketing collaterals, such as signages, posters, gift bags, etc. for consistency. Additionally, to further boost this image, the way your shop is designed, even your choice of jewelry display props and retail setup should reflect the persona you’ve selected. This helps to establish brand recognition for your business.



6. Regularly conduct special sale events or offer discounts.

Everyone loves a good bargain, and yes, that includes jewelry shoppers. If you want to increase sales or boost the demand for a certain product, you can run monthly special events such as discount days which can be conducted online and offline. Another way you can offer lowered rates is through voucher codes which people can use to get discounts.

7. Make it a point to always offer premium customer service.

Want to have return visits to your shop? Always keep in mind the welfare of your customers when they are shopping so they would continually support your business.

Whether in-person or online, the shopper’s experience should be pleasant. This entails having a friendly and knowledgeable staff always ready to answer questions from the customers. This also means ensuring that the browsing, trying out, and paying steps in the shopping process come off smoothly without any mishaps or problems.



While results won’t be seen overnight, consistently applying these omnichannel approaches can result in huge returns for your jewelry shop. Good luck!


5 Marketing Techniques to Apply at Your Jewelry Store

Apply these strategies to boost your shop’s promotional efforts.

It’s a great idea to try out new things that will only benefit your jewelry store. From exploring new designs and trends to overhauling your shop’s jewelry display setups, you have nothing to be fearful about trying novel ideas if you plan and strategize well in advance.

One of the best areas of running a jewelry business to explore new concepts is in marketing. Creativity is an essential part of this business aspect and so you can be free to try out and explore. Again, planning ahead of time and consulting with experts will help in preventing mishaps.

Here’s a list of activities you can try to help with your store’s marketing:



1. Perform search engine optimization (SEO) on your jewelry store’s website.

Whether you’re running a brick-and-mortar shop or a purely online business, it’s a must that your site is easily discovered by your customers. This means making sure your site is on the first page of search results. Various aspects are involved in making this goal a reality. From having a sound design that’s easy to navigate in, mobile-friendliness, updated and relevant content, and inbound social referrals, there are many areas to measure and fix (if needed) to optimize one’s site. Make sure you partner with reliable service providers to make sure you're getting top-notch SEO services.



2. Boost your in-store marketing efforts with a top-to-bottom review and refresh of your shop’s premises.

From having a constant supply of new inventory to showcasing them in gorgeous jewelry display concepts, your in-store marketing activities should be on their A-game.

It starts from having fresh merchandise to sell. To perfectly execute this one, you must always be on the lookout for suppliers and new jewelry trends. This will help beef up your retail showcase so that it always remains eye-catching to customers.

Check to see that your store interiors are always inviting. This doesn’t mean having them renovated each month, but a little tweak here and there every quarter could do wonders for your store. You have to make your furniture, jewelry holders and shelves are on tip-top at all times.



3. Prep your staff to be your business’ ambassadors.

It can be said that your front-facing staffers are your best marketing assets. They are the ones directly interacting with customers, serving as the “faces” for your brand, so make sure they are able to do their job. Think of them as your store’s ambassadors — aside from providing them with the right training and tools to perform their job well, make sure also that their needs as employees are being met.

Human resource experts agree that happy employees work better and deliver more, so make sure you are providing the means to satisfy your people. When your people are satisfied, customers, in turn, feel satisfied and this translates to more sales and continuous support for the store.



4. Use a mailing and SMS list to drive your promotions.

Don’t dismiss marketing lists just yet. In this time where people have already gotten used to shopping online for their essentials and basically any and all of their needs, email and SMS as marketing channels are still effective at delivering profits to your business. With the right words, campaign, and approach, you too can make conversions through email and SMS direct marketing. 

Upon approaching the counter for payment, you can have your customers sign for the mailing list. The next step is to designate a schedule for delivering your promos. A good rule of thumb is to start with 2-3 mails and messages, then adjust later as needed. Finally, craft the right look, template, and messaging for your communications. Make sure it is consistent and reflective of your brand’s image.

5. Always remember: branding is king.

It doesn’t matter if you are a small, home-based company just starting out: branding matters, especially for one that’s just starting to bloom. Establishing your identity is done with your branding efforts. From your name to the colors you choose and the packaging you wrap your merchandise in, make sure they reflect your identity. If you are a bigger business and have your own physical store, this should extend to the look of your store to the type of jewelry display tools you pick out to showcase your merchandise.

If you haven’t picked out your branding elements yet then get to it as soon as you can.

Put “heart” into your campaigns and content

As every marketer knows, the goal is to not just present a product to the public. The aim is to elicit a response from the target audience, whether it is by purchasing the promoted item or by spreading the word about how wonderful and useful that product is. Being that jewelry is long associated with celebrations and relationships, every marketing effort for it should take root from evoking good feelings and memories. With the right imagery and copy, marketing your jewelry business will certainly leave a nice, lasting impression on your audience.

Take the time to review successful jewelry campaigns over the years and use them as inspiration when crafting your own.



Maintain connections with customers through email marketing

Another concern for retail marketers is the retention of customers. Repeat visits and purchases ensure the business will have a constant stream of earnings. As a jewelry business owner, you need to make sure you are doing something to keep your customers loyal to you. One way to do this is through email marketing.

Having regular communication with your customers ensures a loyal fan base for your brand. Start out by having space on your website or shop where people can leave their email addresses to send your emails to. Next, decide what kind of content you will be sending out to your customers’ emails. For many brands, they use email to promote new products, announce promos or events, or as a newsletter to share articles. The design and tone is up to you, but good visuals and persuasive language help a lot especially when selling jewelry.

Nothing beats going out into the real world and actually doing leg work to promote your jewelry business. Not only will it give you the chance to reach out to potential customers in different areas, but it will also give you a chance to see what your competition is doing.

Just remember to have enough jewelry inventory to showcase and to bring the right jewelry display tools to make your merchandise look great. For more tips, read our article on selling jewelry at bazaars.

There are many aspects involved in running a successful business. Beyond giving great service and products, there are still plenty of things that you can do to make sure you’re sustaining the interest of your regular customers and capturing the interest of new ones. Putting up events lets you do that and more. Not only will a successful event generate income for your business, but it’s also a form of brand building initiative to make your store more popular in your area (and maybe even beyond).

We’ve already talked about how you can create jewelry display setups that generate sales, now let’s look at boosting your business profits even more with these great event ideas for your jewelry store.

Workshop classes/seminars

You can organize classes in your store where you can teach your customers crafts that relate to your merchandise. The workshops can be about jewelry making, jewelry care, or you can also help them design their jewelry display setups at home.

Just make sure you have a well-known expert on the subject to handle the session and that there are enough refreshments and food for everyone attending the event.



Inviting celebrities/influencers to your store

As part of their jobs, a few popular personalities are always looking to “collab” with brands for events and social media. You can take this as an opportunity to reach out to jewelry bloggers and influencers to form partnerships with them which includes in-store appearances. Depending on your budget, you can choose from established names with millions of followers to up-and-comers who are more affordable but have smaller followings. Have them talk about their passion for jewelry or you can have them handle workshop classes on jewelry styling, dressing up, etc.



Launch parties

Create a buzz around your new products and collections by staging a launch party to introduce the items to the public. Again, this can be an opportunity to invite known personalities, but also (and more importantly) the jeweler designer or creator who can talk about his/her creation. Likewise, this is an excellent public relations opportunity for your business so the presence of media helps a lot.

Holiday-themed events

There are holidays or seasons where jewelry becomes a huge part of the celebration, like weddings, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Sweet 16/QuinceaƱera birthday celebrations. You can create a store event around them by having guests like jewelers, party planners, and designers where they can talk about every aspect of these celebrations.



Charity sponsorships
For many customers, it matters that the brands they support practice corporate social responsibility and there are many ways you can go about this.

You can dedicate a portion of your earnings to charities or highlight certain items in your store where their purchase goes to organizations of your choice, and then let people know their shopping for a good cause. Your team could also take the time to volunteer to do social work for a day or two.

Remember to publicize all these events before, during, and after on your social media channels to gain the audience and attention your store needs.


At the core of these events is the concept of providing value, not just to your customers but to the community at large. It is certainly a “win-win” situation whichever way you look at it – you are promoting your business which helps with your earnings, at the same time you are sharing valuable time and information to the community with these educational and meaningful events.
