Punchmark to Host Client Workshop
The educational event will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina, this May.

The workshop will take place May 18-20 at The Dubois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City in Charlotte, North Carolina.
It will feature hands-on learning and marketing demonstrations, as well as opportunities for community building with the Punchmark team and other industry partners.
Sessions will be led by Punchmark’s digital marketing and e-commerce experts, as well as speakers from its partners such as The Edge, Jewel-Craft, Ostbye, National Rarities, Obaku, Podium, and IJO.
Topics will include jewelry marketing strategies for 2025, how to leverage Punchmark’s latest tools, and integrated technologies that are important to the digital landscape.
Sessions will be held from morning until early afternoon.
"When a retailer chooses Punchmark as their website partner, they're putting their trust in us to help grow their business, and we take that responsibility seriously,” said Jason Adams, director of education at Punchmark.
“We’re all about sharing our knowledge and expertise, and we love when our trusted partners do the same. That’s why we think this workshop is the perfect opportunity to collaborate—and hopefully have some fun while we're at it!"
Immediately following the first day’s sessions, Punchmark will host a rooftop cocktail hour at Fahrenheit.
The workshop will conclude with a dinner at Fin & Fino Restaurant in downtown Charlotte.
Registration is open now and limited to 60 attendees.
