Rihanna shows up three hours late to NYC Fenty pop-up - Page Six Posted: 19 Jun 2019 08:21 AM PDT Talk about being fashionably late. Rihanna arrived at the launch of her Fenty pop-up shop at The Webster in New York City on Tuesday a cool three hours after she was scheduled to do so. But good things come to those who wait, and when the 31-year-old pop star finally showed up, she did so in a never-before-seen look from her label's second, forthcoming release. The "Wild Thoughts" singer wore a strappy, hot pink minidress with ruching up the side and an open back, paired with matching rhinestone-accented heels, David Webb "Grand Girandole" chandelier earrings ($585,000), a David Webb aquamarine stud cuff ($145,000), a number of large diamond bracelets, a David Webb "Cubist" ring ($54,000) and another David Webb diamond ring ($49,000). The Grammy winner-turned-designer also debuted a new hair look, sporting red, waist-length braids. Just as headline-making, however, were the new Fenty designs, including two new T-shirts — one that reads "immigrant" and another emblazoned with "no more music." Great news for fans of her fashions, not so great for those who've been patiently waiting for that new single to drop. Share this:

These Jewelry Stores Extend The Design Concept Into The Restroom - InstoreMag.com - INSTORE MAG Posted: 19 Jun 2019 03:09 AM PDT TODAY, THE CONSUMER experience starts online. Make your customers feel welcome in your virtual store, and they are likely to show up on your threshold, too. "Websites are the cornerstone of any small business," says Shane O'Neill, VP at Fruchtman Marketing. "It must be designed as a sales tool and method of communication." Showing photos of merchandise with prices is a good start. E-commerce is the next step. And communication can be had in real time with a live-chat feature. Even social media strategies should reflect back to the website. What makes a solid website goes beyond the technical bells and whistles to reflect the personality of your store and the customer experience that can be found there. Include attractive photos of the store itself, so that viewers know what to expect – in terms of atmosphere and interior decor, when they do cross your threshold. Julie Gotz, chief marketing officer for Freshley Digital, works with her team to custom design clients' websites. While they are all clean, upscale designs that are easily searchable and can accommodate e-commerce, each has its own personality; the team doesn't use one-size-fits-all templates. Her job, she says, is to do a deep dive into what the client likes and doesn't like, what their aesthetic is, what their competitors are doing, and then producing a website design that will help them gain market dominance. If you're making the leap to e-commerce, remember that the point of much of that effort is to drive those sales into your store, too. "When I think of e-commerce," says O'Neil, "I think of it as not just online sales; I think of it as sales." Most retailers are marketing and targeting local shoppers, and so it makes sense that if you're selling big-ticket items, they will still come to your store after shopping your store online. "Even with items that are $500 or $600, if you're right down the street, they may still want to come in and look at it. Foot traffic is down, yes, but sales may not suffer if you have a high quality website and a great digital presence." Advertisement Alchemy alchemyjeweler.net Alchemy Jewelers of Portland, OR, introduced its new website with shopify e-commerce features in July 2018. "It's updated, clean and romantic, and it incorporates the rich colors of the store's interior, so people coming to the website know they're in the right spot," says marketing director Megan Walsh. Photographing fine jewelry and reflective diamonds was a learning experience, she says, but having the right equipment — a professional grade lightbox and a Nikon DSLR camera — helps. Walsh also blogs and updates product offerings and event information. Belle Brooke bellebrooke.net Although Santa Fe, NM, gallery owner Belle Brooke Barer believes strongly in the power of brick and mortar commerce, bellebrooke.net still makes a statement about the business by deploying eye-catching model photography to emulate the experience of walking into the distinctive Santa Fe boutique. Jewelry pieces are shown with prices and a selection of the core collection is available for online purchase. Each page displays information emphasizing the artist's priorities. Jack Lewis Jewelers jacklewisjewelers.com Jack Lewis Jewelers of Bloomington, IN, does an excellent job of personalizing the online shopping experience by featuring quality photos of each staff member, and, in particular, introducing their "superstar" custom jeweler, Jim Leeds, who can create the ring of the client's dreams. Rather than announcing, "We do custom design," this innovative introduction begins to create a relationship between the customer and the jeweler.

You can instantly buy (or gape at) a 1950s sapphire, diamond and gold bracelet for $14,950, or pick up a $65 pair of gold-plated "goldbug" earrings designed to look like Palmetto bugs. About half of customers live out of town. Standard shipping is free when shoppers spend $100 or more. Walters and Hogsett waltersandhogsett.com Walters and Hogsett's website raises the bar in function by cross-marketing relevant content on other pages. For example, the jewelry and watch repair page refer back to the new watches page and also to the custom jewelry design page. So if a customer is considering repairing a piece of jewelry, they might instead consider repurposing it into something new. Doing this throughout a site keeps people engaged and on the site longer, says Shane O'Neill of Fruchtman Marketing. The business also provides clear opt-ins for their email newsletter, and uses sitewide banners for trunk shows or other events. They link to Instagram shopping options and have a loose diamond search tool. Williams Jewelers of Englewood Williamsdiamonds.com Freshley Digital custom designed the website for Williams Jewelers of Englewood, CO, integrating Edge POS with the website and making it fully e-commerce enabled. "Every market is different; every client is completely different," says Julie Gotz of Freshley Digital. Freshley Digital simplified the user experience while retaining the brand history of the store, one of the priorities of the Williams family. "It's all about having a very clean, very upscale design that reflects the store. We only have a few minutes to grab their attention and lead them to the next step," Gotz says.
