Considerations for jewelry display

1. Organize by category: Divide your jewelry by type and create categories. Consider creating a section called Church Jewelry. Placing all above recommended products that go well with a church look in one place can make it easy for shoppers to find them.

2. Space design: Build a display space that showcases your jewelry.

3. 3. Highlight the visual effects: Use mirrors and lighting fixtures to multiply the beauty of your jewelry.

   ◦ LED lights: These are the popular choice for displaying jewelry. It’s efficient because it produces an even light, and it doesn’t generate heat that can damage your jewelry.

   ◦ Halogen lights: They produce a bright, warm color that makes your jewelry look beautiful. However, they generate substantial heat, so it’s important to keep a good distance.

   4. Consider color and style: Display similar colors and styles of jewelry together to make it easier for customers to compare various options before making a purchase.

   Since many Black women are attending church regularly, it’s worth considering the idea of offering church jewelry in a dedicated display at your beauty supply. To do this, use a countertop or wall display to organize your jewelry by category, and consider hanging pictures of glamorous Black women to give your customers a visual reminder. Also, installing bright, warm lighting to make your jewelry shine and stand out will certainly help increase sales.
