24K Rose’s Holiday Customer Loyalty Program received a sensational response after being highlighted at the General Sessions of the IJO and RJO buyers group shows in July & August. Jewelers are now realizing the need to do something different this holiday season to get their best clients back into their store.
Bill Boyajian, the former President of the GIA, echoed that thought by emphasizing these two points at the RJO show:
- Do something special for your customers to make them happy.
- Don’t forget about the magic of our industry.
24K Rose agrees 100%. Here is how it all began:
Three years ago Jim Kryshak Jewelers in Wausau, Wisconsin, mailed 24K Rose’s gold dipped mistletoe to 250 of their best customers right before Thanksgiving with a handwritten enclosure card that conveyed the message: “Thanks for being our loyal customer. With this enclosed gold dipped mistletoe, we’d kiss you if we could!“
The amazing result was that they had their best holiday season in 34 years.
After their success, Jim Kryshak Jewelers came back to 24K Rose and said, “That worked great! What can you do for us again next holiday?” In response, the company came up with the double holly ornament which went on to become a best seller.
Sales and demand rapidly shot up and 24K Rose realized the need to introduce a new gold dipped ornament each year. Now, jewelers’ customers can anticipate a different gold dipped ornament for their loyalty at each holiday season. The gold dipped ornament for holiday 2009 is the Evergreen Spruce.
To make it easy for the retail jeweler, 24K Rose has developed a user friendly mailing program designed to simplify the process of mailing the ornaments to your best customers.
Personalized ribbon (300 ft) with your store’s name is available for only $75 and there are text suggestions for your personalized enclosure card.
The gold dipped mistletoe is only $12.35 each and all other ornaments are only $10.95. Each comes with an authenticity card that also romances its legend. And, they are made in the USA.
One jeweler hit the nail on the head when he said: “I wouldn’t think twice about spending $10 on a good glass of wine for a loyal customer. Why wouldn’t I spend a similar amount on something that will last forever?” Whether you send out 250 gold dipped ornaments or just 25, do something special for your best customers. They will remember and reward your jewelry store for doing it.
