Mike says that the Palloys Design team also<br />
offers the option of creating renders of a<br />
retailer’s designs as a sales feature for their<br />
customers.<br />
“Bringing a life-like element to the design is<br />
an imminent part of the selling process,” said<br />
Mike. “Rendering in the modern age is of such<br />
a quality, it could almost pass as life-like.”<br />
There are some characteristics of today’s<br />
jewellery customer that encompass every<br />
market niche. Today’s customer is concerned<br />
about ethical practice in the jewellery<br />
industry, so they want to know more about<br />
the provenance of stones and precious metals.<br />
As the jewellery industry faces growing<br />
demand for ethically or responsibly sourced<br />
materials and increased questioning about the<br />
source of our precious metals, Mike says that<br />
all of Palloys’ gold and silver supply is sourced<br />
from Australia.<br />
“Palloys is the only jewellery manufacturer in<br />
that can trace its gold and silver supply to its<br />
original source -- Australia. All of Palloys gold<br />
and silver supply come from sister company,<br />
ABC Refinery, which is accredited by the<br />
London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).”<br />
Today’s customer also value individualised<br />
touches to their jewellery.<br />
“We have also found that the most popular<br />
jewellery collections place the choice back<br />
in the consumers hands,” said Mike. “We’re<br />
talking mass customisation with personalised<br />
touches including laser engraved details. Our<br />
finished men’s jewellery collection, Livadi,<br />
satisfies these needs.”<br />
Promotional strategies<br />
Launching a new range is a fresh new<br />
opportunity to attract new customers,<br />
while reconnecting with loyal customers. A<br />
carefully planned range, incorporating various<br />
complementary products and price points, will<br />
attract customers and provide opportunities<br />
to upsell.<br />
“The primary focus here is choice,” said Mike.<br />
“Customers love choice and price points are<br />
one of the easiest ways to provide this.”<br />
In today’s market, a dynamic digital media<br />
strategy is particularly effective.<br />

“Get the most out of your social media<br />
strategy by documenting – or having your<br />
supplier document – the end-to-end<br />
process and behind the scenes,” said Mike.<br />
“Consumers love the story behind the<br />
product.”<br />
Through social media, you can also<br />
encourage your customers to promote your<br />
product on your behalf.<br />
“Profile customers who wear your<br />
collection, photograph them in real<br />
life at their wedding and engagement<br />
photoshoots that you can also use on your<br />
own channels,” said Mike.<br />
Traditional marketing strategies are also still<br />
effective.<br />
“We also recommend extending your sales<br />
window by accepting pre-orders before you<br />
even launch the collection,” said Mike.<br />
“Developing a range with the Palloys team<br />
is a brilliant way to bring our collective skills<br />
and experience together to ensure that all<br />
relevant sales objectives are considered.”<br />
