How Jewelers Can Boost Sales Using AR: A Detailed Guide

How Jewelers Can Boost Sales Using AR: A Detailed Guide

An otherwise conventional industry that’s dominated by the same old practices, the Jewelry landscape has seen a significant shift in recent times. And this shift has only deepened and become more prevalent due to the pandemic. The consumer behaviour is changing. On many levels, their expectations, as well as the factors they consider when buying Jewelry, aren’t the same. So, it’s essential that jewelers recognize these market transitions and adapt accordingly to remain competitive and ensure business sustainability.

Embracing AR Technology in the Jewelry Industry

Augmented Reality has gone from being “that’s cool” to now deeply integrated into different selling channels. And the early adopters who have implemented it in their infrastructure have seen positive results, including in sales, brand positioning, and customer satisfaction.

For jewelers to stay ahead of the curve and address consumer's evolved behaviour where they expect more from the sellers/brands, embracing technologies like augmented reality is important. It’s also an easy and effective route to gain a competitive advantage and achieve higher scalability for business owners in the Jewelry industry.

What is jewelry AR?

Would it not be better to try on the Jewelry before purchasing it? This is what people do when buying in brick-and-mortar stores. They try on the item, see how it looks, and make the decision. Unfortunately, that’s not possible when shopping for Jewelry online. This is exactly what augmented reality solves.

AR allows people to virtually try-on the Jewelry(from necklace to rings to bracelets). Turn on the camera and AR will scan the visual and the item will automatically be placed on you in real-time. Swipe to change the product and see which one looks best on you. If you’re on a desktop, check out here how it works. If you’re on your phone, download the mirrAR app.

It may seem that Augmented Reality is only relevant for the online Jewelry sellers who can integrate it into their store to enable buyers to have an AR experience. However, even in brick-and-mortar stores, there are gaps that this technology can fill.

Tanishq, one of the world’s leading brands, with the help of mirrAR, created experience zones in their stores across India where customers can engage with the products and make contactless selections. Tanishq even collaborated with mirrAR to open the world’s first zero-inventory store at the Delhi and Bangalore airports where people could try different Jewelry and buy their collections without the presence of any physical products.

So, the room to deploy augmented reality for jewelers, be it online or in a physical store, is seamless.

How Can AR Increase Your Sales?

Consumers don’t buy products. They buy experiences. 73 percent of customers say a good experience is an important factor in their purchasing decisions. They prioritize experience ahead of price and product quality.

One of the reasons why some of the leading brands across the spectrum have remained relevant – and at the top – even after decades is because they deliver their customers a unique experience, which subsequently results in high customer loyalty and retention.

In that context, AR integration in the sales channel by the jewelers can be a complete game-changer in enhancing customers’ satisfaction. It can provide them a unique experience that’s more convenient, efficient, and personalized – even if they are shopping from the comfort of their home. This can subsequently result in higher sales.

Did you know 84 percent of companies that focus on improving customer experience report an increase in revenue? In fact, brands that provide superior customer experience bring 5.7 times higher revenue than competitors that lag in this aspect.

In addition, employing AR solutions in sales channels can also boost sales indirectly. For one, it can increase the retention rate, improving customer lifetime value. It can trigger good word-of-mouth promotion. It can win jewelers more positive reviews and ratings. The footfall or traffic may increase. Moreover, taking a tech leap in a reserved industry can welcome the Jewelry stores more press and organic attention. All these can combine to increase sales for the jewelers.

So, if increasing your sales and revenue is a top priority, making an investment in a Jewelry AR app or solution can unlock great returns in the short and long-term.
