Mobile Shopping Leaves its Mark and is Here To Stay

In 2020, shoppers were understandably concerned about exposure and were hesitant to shop in person or did not even have the option to due to shut down retail stores. As a result, mobile shopping skyrocketed, and many jewelry stores pivoted quickly to give their websites a much needed facelift to make mobile shopping easier for clients.

Since 2019, more emails have been opened on mobile devices, including cellphones and tablets, than they have on desktop clients, making now the time to jump on mobile shopping trends and user-friendly email templates that allow your shopper to browse and buy right from within their email app.

Trunk Shows- Giveaways and Discounts

Jewelry stores that plan trunk shows most likely have their event calendar for November and December solidified by now. The email marketing strategy to promote the event is very important for clients to save the date. Take this opportunity to not only promote your top trunk show dates but also offer giveaways if you book and appointment, or a discount for new engagement ring clients etc. Leverage these fun and festive events via email marketing to bring new clients into your store to experience what you have to offer.

Make Use of Instant Buying Options

In addition to the proliferation of mobile shopping and emails, another shopping habit from the pandemic era has now become even more commonplace in 2022: the Instant Buying option. Made popular on TikTok and Instagram, the Instant Buy allows you to integrate your email with buy now buttons that hook right into a user's shopping cart. Leveraging flash sales or time-limited discounts is a great way to cement in the customers' mind that they "absolutely have to have it right now" before it's gone. 

Add In a Personalized Touch

Personalized jewelry is also a hot item over the holidays -- but what about personalized emails? Email, as old as it is, is still more popular than social media or other forms of advertising, and it's also one of the few to allow for a much larger degree of personalization. 

These days, however, getting your customers' attention means more than just adding their first name to the email. It also shows you've been paying attention. Suggest items that pair well with something they have in their cart, or offer suggestions based on previous shopping habits. These days, emails are highly customizable and allow you to create a closer relationship with your customers in a way that shows that you truly value their business!
