Business Savvy

Personalized experiences. Eye-catching designs. Pieces that tell a story. Today’s fine jewelry customer is looking for something that feels unique to them. They want something they’ll want to wear over again for years to come.

I’ve felt for a very long time that standing out in the retail market will depend on a business’ ability to create a memorable experience for their customers — one they will talk about with others and want to have again. Experiential retail is all about making each and every customer attach all those special parts of the buying experience to the actual purchase. For example, think about meeting a character at Disney World, building a stuffed animal at Build-A-Bear, or singing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch at a baseball game. All these pieces of the experience factor into the value of the purchase and stay in your mind.
