The internet is a powerful platform when it comes to marketing, no question about it. In fact, for many, going online became their saving grace during the peak of the pandemic. As many brick-and-mortar shops closed down, social media became an ally to many new and old businesses. With various industries returning to normalcy, it doesn’t make sense to forget the huge impact marketing online left on commerce. In fact, it only shows that it should become part of every business’s marketing plans.


While we usually feature tips on how to shop or design jewelry display sets, this time we’ll be looking at another aspect of the jewelry business: online marketing and promotions, specifically video marketing.


Here are some ideas you can try out for your store:



Show a video of interesting things to be found at your store

For many retailers, their store’s aesthetics is a top priority. With apps such as Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest relying on images, marketers have taken it upon themselves to produce as much audio-visual content to satisfy the public. This includes showcasing physical stores that pass the aesthetics of these apps. You can do the same for your business especially if it sports the right kind of vibes that the public loves. As such, potential customers don’t just get to admire good shop interiors online but they also make it a point to visit places that they deem cute and cool.


Start by showcasing an interesting nook at your store, then move on to your best jewelry display setups and decors.

Post something about the creative process of your products

For home-based jewelers, one of the best video themes to showcase is showcasing the creative process that went into making your merchandise. People are naturally curious about how-to videos so this will certainly have a ready audience. This type of content also creates a sense of bond between you the maker and the buyers, leading to more support for your content posted and the actual products you are promoting.



Consider getting influencers to promote your brand

Depending on your budget, you can get influencers to talk about your products and brand on their respective social media channels. Choose one that embodies your brand’s image so that the campaign comes off as more authentic. For a more affordable option, anyone from your staff with great visuals and presentation skills can be your influencer.


Whoever you choose to serve as your brand’s ambassador make sure their content will reflect well on your brand so choose carefully. Content ideas to share may include talking about their favorite jewelry piece from your store, fashion styling advice, or “a day in the life/OOTD” posts that feature your products.



Take up trending topics

Can you somehow relate your products and business to a trending topic? You will be putting yourself out to more eyes when you do. Again choose wisely by reading through several posts first about the said topic to see if it is a good issue to ride on or not.

How To Use Videos To Market Your Merchandise

Shine a brighter spotlight on your merchandise with videos.

Building your presence online can be pretty challenging these days but it is a platform you should absolutely get your hands on when trying to promote your jewelry business. One of the best ways to go about it is with the use of videos. As a highly visual medium, the internet is the perfect place to showcase what you have to offer without making you spend a lot.


From showing tutorials and putting the spotlight on your jewelry display concepts, here are the ways to use video marketing to your advantage.



Be your customers’ go-to place for information

The content you put out is what would entice people to discover you online. With the right topics, such as jewelry showcases or style tips on how one should wear a particular type of jewelry, you can create an engaging environment between new and old customers. It all starts with a concept, then the execution (shooting), editing, and finally publishing. Your best platforms for these are social media apps like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Grow an audience by putting out top-notch content which eventually converts to buyers for your shop.



Study what works for each platform 

Short, snappy clips are great for TikTok and Instagram Stories, while longer forms work well on YouTube. For the first two mentioned, "outfit of the day" or OOTD videos would make for good content on the app. You can have a model show the ways your merchandise can be worn, all while using nice graphics and snazzy audio. For YouTube, you may try exploring content featuring product demos and presentations. You can get someone to host the video and have them talk about one or two products. It is important to have someone approachable and capable to take hosting duties. Make sure also that the product, as well as their jewelry display devices and other props, are in their best condition for the shoot.

Encourage the public’s participation

This can come in the form of comments and questions from your viewers. Be ready to respond to their queries, particularly if they are about purchasing items or further questions about the item featured. Another way to encourage participation is by asking users who can talk about their purchases, how they are using them in their daily lives, etc. You may also reach out to influencers who can help spread the word about your products and serve as the “face” of your brand.



Don’t forget to have metrics in place and to regularly check if targets are being met

Even as a creative exercise, success in video marketing is measured by numbers. Check to see the views you are getting, how many are subscribing or liking your page because of it, and study if you are making conversions. By doing so, you can figure out what kind of content works and whats needs to be paused or canceled outright.


How to Make Video Marketing Work for Your Jewelry Business

Stay ahead of the curve and make a splash online with videos.

Innovation in any shape or form is essential nowadays. As the competition to stand out gets fiercer, one must not be complacent. This is true whether you are an online-only shop or a brick and mortar. How does one set out to do that? You go where the people are and at this point in time, it’s nowhere else but online.

As more and more folks stick to doing their shopping on the internet, any jewelry business that wants to succeed must find ways to capture this audience. Video marketing is just one of the many ways they can try. We’ve seen social media boom the past few years with giant brands tapping the platform to expand their reach and sales. All of sudden, it takes more than having retail and jewelry display skills to capture the public. While jewelry entrepreneurs are still expected to take the time to make sure their merchandise looks nice in person, our present-time needs call for having a strong presence online as well. Let us show you how you can benefit from doing so:

Provide valuable content

Many marketing professionals would tell you that, “Content is king,” and that is absolutely true. In many ways, being able to provide fresh and relevant content to your target audience is one of the primary means to win the online marketing game. It puts your name out in the public and establishes you as a reliable source of information. You will then come to be known as a trusted name in the industry. Video marketing could be used for these efforts. With the right topic, presenter and technique, you tap into the public’s consciousness which translates to better recognition and sales for your brand.

Deciding what type of video content to put out is entirely up to you and there are certainly plenty to choose from:

1. Product presentations
Think of these presentations as an online version of those late-night shopping commercials you see on the television before you drift off to sleep. Of course, you can now jazz them up with better graphics and a presenter that caters to your target audience. Even short-form videos like Facebook & Instagram stories and the currently popular TikTok app are formats you can use for this project. Just remember to provide a direct link to the product’s page (accessible via a swipe on Stories) so that viewers can purchase your items right away.

2. Reviews
You can approach this type of content in two ways. You can invite influencers to create videos where they talk about your products, or you can actually tap your actual customers to review your products.

3. Tutorials
A great number of video content online is comprised of tutorials. That’s because they are popular to the public and are considered valuable content. This is also a good angle to take when brainstorming content for your jewelry business. You can give fashion tips on the best ways to wear your jewelry merchandise, or you can also provide helpful advice to jewelry fans on the proper ways to display their jewelry collections. You can partner up with a jewelry display and supply store to help with the instructional material for these tutorial videos.


Use it as a platform for community engagement

Once you have decided on the type of content to put out, you need to make sure it does not only answer your target customers’ needs but that it also becomes a way for you to build a relationship with them. This can be done through social media where community engagement is encouraged. Take the time to see what you’re audience is saying and use it to listen and respond to their needs.

This means that for every how-to video or IG story you put out, you need to make sure you are ready to respond once the public takes notice of them.


In conclusion,

Video marketing is a powerful tool that, when done correctly, can deliver sales and recognition to any jewelry business. Don’t be afraid to use it and experiment with its capabilities to see where it takes you. Whether you’re a home jeweler or already an established name in the business, you have nothing to lose if you use this marketing approach.
