The October issue of Jeweller investigates the concept of trends and offers tips for ensuring jewellers are ahead in the fashion stakes, meeting the expectations of today’s ‘connected’ consumer and – most importantly – avoiding the risk of being so last season.
Speaking of product selection, do you know when to re-order and when to cut and run? This month’s issue has the conclusion of a two-part look at profitable retailing, which discusses what to do if an item sells quickly and what to do if it doesn’t sell at all.
We also have a story on transforming the most stilted workplaces into hubs of innovation and a full report on all the razzamatazz from the Sydney International Jewellery Fair.
There's a whole lot more in Australia and New Zealand’s Number #1 jewellery industry magazine, including plenty of useful advice that could help to improve sales and profitability.
