How to market a jewelry brand online

Given that our recent guest speaker was from Squarespace and mentioned how important it is to have a website, I wanted to share the basic layout of a jewelry website. Having scoured multiple jewelry websites I came to the conclusion that these headings are must haves to build your visual identity online

Headings & subheadings

              History/Our Story
•       Brand - what does it stand for, USP, values, design aesthetics.
•       The designer - their vision, inspiration and other relevant information
•       Timeline: how the brand has evolved
•       Craftsmanship  -   Consumers want to know how diamonds/gems are sourced and where the product is being made
•       Philanthropy - always helps to show the brand in a positive light

            Bespoke/high jewelry (if the brand offers custom made jewelry)
•       A video showing the designer sitting with a client and the steps involved in making custom orders from start to finish
•       Button on page leads directly to book an appointment

           Boutique/jewelry (affordable collections)
•       Collections: e.g. the Tiffany enagament collection, valentines collection etc
•       Categories: Rings, Bracelets, Earrings, Cufflinks

          Masterpieces
•  Exclusive one of a kind pieces. Also ones that you don’t want to share a price for.

          Press/Featured/In the News
•       Editorial – When featured in magazines 
•       Celebrity – what celebrities are wearing the brand
•       Events – that the brand does/sponsors

        Enquiries
•       Leads directly to form where the options are
•       Request appointment or Request information

      Recommendations also know as Bestsellers – items that the brand wants to push
    
      New arrivals – update as necessary
    
      Retailers/Buy/Shop – update as and when we new partnerships are formed. Good
