(NEW YORK) – Directly on the heels of announcing strategic partnerships with both Jewelers of America and the Jewelers Vigilance Committee for the purposes of impacting governmental decisions and their effect on the jewelry industry, The Plumb Club’s podcast for October focuses on tariffs.
Tariffs are being implemented and subsequently lifted or changed at a rapid rate. The complex path of jewelry from mine to market is being dramatically affected every day. Even gemstones mined in the US but significantly transformed beyond our borders are subject to tariffs as they return to the country. Retail jewelers need to implement specific strategies to maintain profitable margins. This podcast provides the insights needed.
Tariff Tactics to Protect Your Bottom Line: Tariffs are raising costs, complicating the global supply chain, and squeezing margins across the jewelry retail landscape. Host Cheryl Kremkow talks to Sara Yood from the JVC and Plumb Club President, Steven Lerche, to break down the ongoing impact of changing tariff rates and give practical strategies to protect pricing, navigate compliance, and maintain margins despite the volatile trade environment. Find out how The Plumb Club is joining with other industry associations to help protect your business.
