With this in mind, Jeweller’s October issue sets out to provide an overview of the ever-evolving trends within the silver jewellery sector and how retailers can use these findings to cash in on sales.
This month’s issue, which has now been mailed, also investigates the latest POS retail management software innovations that are said to help jewellers work smarter, not harder.
Synthetic diamonds are placed in the spotlight, with a play-by-play of a panel discussion that took place at the recent International Jewellery Fair in Sydney. The three panellists discussed the various opportunities and threats this sector posed to the local industry.
Have you heard of the ‘unstore’? Another story in October Jeweller asks whether it’s fad, fiction or the future of retail.
There’s a whole lot more in Australia and New Zealand’s #1 jewellery industry magazine, including plenty of useful advice that could help to improve sales and profitability. See below for more details.
