The two companies are partnering to present “Google This Way,” a series of sessions at the JCK Las Vegas show that will cover industry trends, mobile evolution and digital marketing specifically for jewelers.

In addition to the sessions, the Las Vegas partnership also will allow for one-on-one consultations with the Google representative at the booth on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This is the first time Google will be present at the JCK Las Vegas show.
Smart Age said it is Google’s only Premier Partner in the fine jewelry space. To be labeled as such, partners have to meet Google’s eligibility and training requirements, including proven expertise and years of experience in delivering high-performing AdWords campaigns.
In turn, they receive high levels of support from the internet giant, such as extensive Google product and account management training and direct access to the latest Google beta technology and products.
