Anytime Is The Right Time To Run A Sale

Jewelers sometimes worry about the right time to run a sale event. One of our clients was in the same predicament last year, but as you will see in the results below, the family was happy they started a sale when they did. A highly successful sale can be run at any time of the year if done right.

Jewelers sometimes worry about the right time to run a sale event. One of our clients was in the same predicament last year, but as you will see in the results below, the family was happy they started a sale when they did. A highly successful sale can be run at any time of the year if done right.

A Real-time example: 

– 40-day sale started right after Mother’s Day 2021

– Had a multi-million-dollar sales goal 

– Week One: accomplished 30% of the multi-million-dollar sales goal

– Results were double the projected sales expected for week one and 12 times greater than the sales during the same week a year before

– Average ticket price was over $1,500 for the first week and out of 744 guests who walked in the door, 576 sales were recorded, a 77% closing ratio.

This may sound remarkable to you, and it is. But it is not unusual for our sale events because we’ve been there hundreds of times before and we know what we’re doing. We have a formula that works, and we want to help more fine jewelers drive incredible traffic, eliminate unwanted inventory, improve cash flow, and hedge against a loss of discretionary income by customers who are now making travel plans.

As per our above example, it shows that you can have Christmas sales in the months of May and June, or any other month for that matter.

Our Sale Events in 2021 Never Caught COVID!

Despite our decades of experience running major sale events for jewelers, even we were surprised at the results of our sales last year.  There were three big takeaways that I must share with you:

Despite our decades of experience running major sale events for jewelers, even we were surprised at the results of our sales last year.  There were three big takeaways that I must share with you:

1) We had to throw our sales projections out the window.  We blew past them with multiples never before seen.

2) There was absolutely no let down in business following mid-year sales.

3) Record December results were achieved despite running a sale earlier in the year.

We all know this is an extraordinary time for the jewelry industry.  If there was ever a time to leverage an economic environment, it is now.

One client said it this way: 

“We were able to eliminate vast quantities of aged merchandise without any effect on our future business, and still had a record Christmas season.  But what we learned in advertising and promotion through social media, direct mail, and integration of QR codes, along with the 500 new customers we gained during the sale, will benefit us for many years to come.”

Don’t catch COVID.  Catch the wave of sale events that are hitting record numbers.  Contact us today for a free, confidential, no-obligation consultation.
