How Many Touchpoints Does Your Jewelry Business Have?
Every time a potential customer connects with your retail jewelry business, that’s a touchpoint. With all the technology at our disposal today, potential customers are able to touch your business in multiple ways before they ever commit to a transaction. Once an order is placed, there are multiple touchpoints again.
Touchpoints That Connect
Like the many thin fibers that form a strong cable, seemingly small ways that people interact with your jewelry business form a strong connection and increase loyalty. These touchpoints are online and they also can be in the store to be accessed with or without staff. Some examples are:
- Seeing items you offer on social media, like Pinterest or Instagram
- Social media presence with quick response to questions
- Searching for a product and having your business appear high on the page
- Coupons that can be used with a smartphone app
- In-store tools like price-checkers and interactive catalogs
- Product information online for research
- Helpful information on your site about jewelry care, selections, etc.
- Real-time inventory status and pricing
- Pick-up options at preferred location or home delivery
- Website design that shows all services offered
- Online access to custom order status
Every time a person encounters one of these touchpoints or any other, they are interacting with your business. Each small encounter adds up to create a relationship based on the way that person perceives those encounters. Since a business online presence is mostly automated, it matters greatly how that business manages their online presence. That means technology has to be utilized optimally.
