Atlanta--Heritage Appraisers and 1 Step Technologies will be among The Loupe partners offering specials at the upcoming Atlanta Jewelry Show.
Launched in August 2015, The Loupe, the AJS’s buyer group program, started out as a common space where exhibitors would present money-saving resources, services and tools tailored to independent jewelers.
Today, The Loupe is a dedicated area of the show floor that includes personalized concierge services, short education sessions and services exclusive to enrolled jewelers.
There is no cost to enroll in The Loupe, show organizers said, but membership opportunities are only offered at the shows, which take place in August and in March.
Among The Loupe partners offering exclusives at the upcoming August edition of the show is payment processor 1 Step Technologies, which created a free payment processing analysis and PCI Security review that is good for retailers through Aug. 31.
Heritage Appraisers Inc. will be offering appraisal-related information geared toward consumers that retailers can use on their websites, on social media or for in-store handouts.
In addition, The Loupe will host a series of mini education sessions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday during the show. Called 10X, the short, “magnified” sessions are presented by Loupe partner companies; they are listed among the other education sessions on the show’s website.
The August edition of the Atlanta Jewelry Show is scheduled to take place Saturday, Aug. 12 to Monday, Aug. 14 at the Cobb Galleria Centre.
Conference education starts one day early, on Friday, Aug. 11, with a Skype presentation from best-selling author and marketing professor Jonah Berger on why certain stories and videos go viral. Berger, who teaches at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, is the author of “Contagious! Why Things Catch On.”
