Welcome to Episode #303. I want to talk about micro-moments in marketing! In marketing, “micro-moments” refer to the small instances when consumers turn to their devices to act on a need, whether it’s to learn something, do something, discover something, watch something, or buy something.

These micro-moments provide opportunities for a jewelry brand to engage with customers by being present with relevant, helpful content or offers at the exact time they’re needed.

As a jewelry brand, it’s crucial to be present during micro-moments because these customers have a clear intention. Instead of interrupting them, you’re connecting with them right where they are.

In this episode, I’ll share examples of micro-moments and offer guidance on how you can tailor them to your brand and storytelling. This approach will help you connect with your ideal customers where they are, offering them more than just a product—providing real value and fostering an emotional connection.

In our “Gold Mine” segment, I want to talk about the importance of kindness and humility in business and how these qualities can take you further than you might expect.

Welcome to Episode #302. I want to talk about gold prices! As I’m recording this episode, the price of gold is over $2,500 per ounce. With gold prices continuing to soar, fine jewelry designers and small brands are finding themselves at a crossroads.

Do you stick to your roots, crafting luxurious pieces in the traditional solid gold your customers love, or do you pivot to keep your creations accessible and your business thriving?

The good news is, there’s no need to choose just one path. In fact, the rise in gold prices is the perfect opportunity to flex your creative muscles, offering fresh, innovative solutions that not only meet the market’s demands but also elevate your brand’s allure.

Imagine transforming the challenge of rising costs into a golden opportunity—literally! By embracing out-of-the-box marketing and merchandising strategies, you can continue to dazzle your customers with the magic of gold, all while staying true to your brand’s unique identity.

Whether it’s mixing metals, introducing new materials, or simply reimagining how you tell your brand’s story, the possibilities are as limitless as your creativity. So in this episode, I’m going to dive into some fun and inventive ways to navigate these golden waters and come out shining brighter than ever.

In our “Gold Mine” segment, I just want to share some fun things that have been happening on JoyDeck this month – and how you can join our new jewelry marketing support platform if you’re interested.

Welcome to Episode #301. This episode is airing on the same day as the closing ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics, and I wanted to share some thoughts on the intersection of jewelry, tradition, and marketing. If you think of a medal as a piece of jewelry, then Olympic medals are arguably among the most coveted pieces of jewelry in history.

I recently watched a video segment about this year’s medals, which were designed and crafted by Chaumet. With this design, Chaumet has made history as the first jeweler ever to design the medals for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This is truly a significant moment for the world of jewelry.

It got me thinking—nobody is born with a love for jewelry. There’s always a reason behind it. Whether it’s for nostalgia, accomplishment, self-expression, or even just a tactile connection, jewelry holds personal meaning. The Olympics this year have highlighted how deeply symbolic and significant jewelry can be, and these insights can definitely inform your marketing strategies.

By understanding the emotional and symbolic reasons why people are drawn to jewelry, you can craft marketing that truly resonates. Just as Olympic medals symbolize achievement and history, your jewelry can connect with customers on a deep, personal level.

In our “Gold Mine” segment, I’ll also be reflecting on my experiences at the NYC trade shows this year, including NY Now, Melee, and Meghan Patrice Riley’s “Spotlight Designer Jewelry Presentation.” If we crossed paths there, it was great to see you!
