As we kick off a new year, we all hope for a return to normalcy. After months of pandemic-driven social distancing, restrictions and lock-downs, consumers will be excited to visit your store. Now is the time to ensure you have the right inventory on-hand to capitalize on that excitement! Here are some tips for success.
Turn to Technology
Unfortunately, jewelry stores are notorious for “breaking the rules” and not enforcing a consistent POS process. Entering data correctly and across the entire store is essential for gleaning accurate insight to help plan for your future needs.
Carry the Essentials
Did you know that 80 percent of engagement ring shoppers buy a ring on the first day they set out to shop for one? That means if you don’t have what they want, they will go somewhere else. This is why it is so important to leverage the technology and data available to you to better understand both your competition and your customer.
