Discover tips, tricks, and trending styles that are sure to make this your business’ best holiday shopping season yet.
It’s that time of year again — the holiday shopping season has started! Customers will soon be on the lookout for the perfect jewelry styles to surprise their loved ones, and there’s no better time than the present to get started on curating your holiday gift offering and in-store strategies ahead of the hustle.
With Stuller’s incredible assortment of sought-after styles, leading jewelry trends, branding essentials, and holiday resources from our in-house experts, we’ve gathered a few key tips and product recommendations to help get you started.
Let’s take a look at our guide to driving sales and starting your holiday selling season strong through brand-new products, impactful marketing strategies, and more.
Creating a Memorable Shopping Experience
Even though the holidays might still feel far away, time is your best resource and biggest advantage for the busiest season of the year.
According to retail experts like National Retail Foundation (NFR), consumers are still looking to physical stores for their shopping needs as standing locations remain the primary point of purchase, accounting for approximately 70% of total retail sales so far in 2023. Why is this relevant?
Taking the extra steps this year to rethink or elevate your shopping experience for new and existing customers can be your chance to foster long-lasting connections that continue well after the holidays.
This season, think about every part of your store and shopping experience, whether it’s physical or online. What visual story will you tell? What elements of your offering can help you to stand out? From store layouts to product displays, a storytelling experience is in nearly every aspect of your business, giving you a great opportunity to make and leave a lasting impression. As always, Stuller has you covered every step of the way.
