Spring bridal season is here, and with it comes some of the biggest sales for jewelry stores! As a jewelry store owner, bridal season is like Christmas, so it pays to be prepared, not only in your store but on your website as well.
Here’s how to get your website ready with merchandising suggestions that make your jewelry stand out, and check off all of the boxes for gift givers.
Create a Bridal Collection
It’s a special day, and understandably, everyone in the wedding party is special to the bride and groom. You already feature and highlight Engagement Rings and Wedding Bands, but consider adding a Gift Guide that makes it easy for the bride and groom to purchase sentimental gifts for those surrounding them on their special day. Ideas like Bridal Party Gifts Under $500, or Mother of the Bride Top Sellers, and Engraving Options for Your Best Man. This allows you to feature easy giftable pieces.
Highlight Your Offers
Special offers and promotions during bridal season are always a hit, but they can get buried under the hustle and bustle of making sure that everything is prepared for that perfect day. That’s why if you have a special offer, like free engraving, free lifetime cleaning, special discounts or other deals unique to your store. Now is the time to make them known beyond just your homepage or store signage.
Invest in High-Quality Visuals
High-quality images and videos, including of models wearing the jewelry, can help the client imagine how the piece might look on them, and that can be all they need to make their purchase. Lifestyle imagery can also capture the hearts and minds of brides to be, so make ample use of it in your product photos! If you have real client photos from past weddings, it is a great time to feature them in your blogs or homepage.
Provide Detailed Information About Your Products
Brides do a lot of research before ultimately deciding on a piece, especially where jewelry is concerned, so it’s better to provide too much detail instead of not enough. Include details not just about the gemstone itself, but also the type of metal, ring sizing and more on the product description.
This is also an ideal time to mention that you offer customization options like engraving so that they can cherish the moment each and every day!
Leverage Social Proof
In addition to high-quality photos, detailed information and collections to make the shopping process easy, don’t forget to leverage social proof! This can come in the form of social media comments and likes, testimonials from existing clients or especially happy brides and grooms-to-be!
The goal of social proof is to help potential buyers feel at ease when purchasing from you. You want them to feel as if they’re making a smart and confident decision that will reassure them that their special day will be remembered and treasured forever!
