GemFind Launches JewelCloud™ Connecting the Jewelry Industry Manufacturers with the Jewelry Retailers
Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2013 -- GemFind - http://www.gemfind.com announced today the Launch of the new Jewel Cloud™ platform for the jewelry industry. Over the past decade, entire industries has been dramatically transformed by evolution of online digital marketing. But for an industry which is built on tradition and the motto that “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it;” the idea of connecting and socializing online has been a difficult shift to accept.
It is more imperative than ever before that independent retailers connect with their consumers and meet them where they are… which is online and more particularly in online social networks. Today’s consumer is now just a few clicks away and wanting content to interact in the digital world.
The most valuable content the retailer has in their arsenal is product information and photography. Customers have a need to search, sort, zoom, configure, like, share, tweet, pin, buy, and request more information on the jewelry, watches, diamonds and gemstones jewelers have to offer.
Retail jewelers primarily rely on the vendors they work with to supply the products they sell. Since the great digital shift over the past decade, there has been no standard on who is supposed to create the digital versions of products that can be utilized in the world in which we now live.
“The retail jeweler is driven to the point of insanity with having to deal with CD’s, thumb drives, data sheets, light boxes, photoshop, usernames and passwords. Every vendor has a different way in which they share their content and the retail jewelers of the world have had enough and are ready for a new approach,” said Alex Fetanat CEO of GemFind.
With JewelCloud™ a retailer can login, connect with all of their vendors and invite vendors not in the cloud to join as well. Through JewelCloud a retailer is able to have conversations with vendors, schedule appointments, access marketing materials, and sync products from their vendors, right in to their website in real time.
