Yesterday, Friday morning, was the first in our series of four breakfast educational sessions at the 2009 Couture show. Held at the opulent Wynn Hotel, the breakfasts are part of our America's Best Jewelers program, which not only recognizes top-performing companies but also brings them together to work toward solutions to common challenges.
The model for successful jewelry retailing is changing so rapidly that it's hard to see how companies that don't embrace--and excel--in social networking will really be able to survive profitably in the new marketplace. It would be as if a traditional jeweler had never learned the basics of advertising and marketing. You just can't run a business without the standard tools of operation, and today, this includes social networking to build relationships with customers and stay connected.
The thing is, it's not difficult to get started on it. And some of the amazing success stories I heard yesterday confirmed my belief that this is truly the wave of the future.
There's a lot more to be said on the topic, obviously, but I need to get downstairs to this morning's session, which will focus on employee training and compensation. It's being led by our educational sponsor, Jewelers of America.
If you're here in Las Vegas, join us for today, tomorrow, or Monday's sessions. I'll be back moderating tomorrow, when we'll share and discuss in-store events. We'll finish up on Monday with inventory management. These are great sessions, and everyone always walks away wiser.
You can also join the America's Best Jewelers Network online at ABJNetwork.com. To become a member, you must be a JBT-listed North American fine jewelry retailer. I'll approve you, and you can join in discussions with 500 of your peers on our industry's only jeweler-to-jeweler social network.
