While the pearl industry is undergoing a raft of changes at production, supply and retail levels, there is general consensus that demand is strong and jewellers who stay abreast of such changes will yield positive results.
Jeweller’s February issue – which is out now – investigates the market trends shaping today’s pearl industry.
Our first issue of the year also looks at how to get on the front foot and make the most of 2017 as well as why retail is tougher than ever before and what to do about it.
Salespeople everywhere are overworked, under-supported and failing to succeed. That’s according to business specialist Ryan Estis who reports on how retail owners and managers can actively help staff maximise sales outcomes.
The Australian Jewellery Fair in Brisbane takes place this month and we have an exclusive preview of the hottest products set to be on display.
The February issue of Australia and New Zealand’s #1 jewellery industry magazine not only aims to entertain and educate, but also inspire retailers to achieve success in 2017 and beyond. See below for more details.
