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 />
