How we Research & Report at Jewelers Advantage
In the 'About' Video that you saw just before entering, we discuss how the University Education Model is actually obsolete. Because of how LOOOOOONG it takes to productize their Education, Major Universities are always behind in the quality of information they give students. Then, on the other end of the spectrum - we have the informational quagmire that is Mainstream News and Social Media. Whether your news of choice is CNN, FoxNews, or MSNBC - the viewers of these channels are actually getting "News Entertainment" tailored to the viewers existing Beliefs & Opinions in order to lock them to the screen and sell Advertising. On Social, these opinions are further bolstered by Social Media algorithms that show viewers what they want to see - creating little echo chambers in our individual Social Profiles. With all of that in mind: HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT IS REAL? HOW DO WE GET INFORMATION AND MAKE OUR OWN DECISIONS? The truth of the matter is, we now have to pay attention to that "Fake News" dynamic in the Jewelry Industry. Major Jewelry Industry News Sources now report on things like The Diamond Market in a way that pushes an agenda for YOU to buy from their Marketplace - NOT actually tell you what to expect in the Jewelry Market. (Ex. "We project that Customers will opt for a strong return to Natural Diamonds in order to give a more suitable gift for Engagement"). I'm paraphrasing, but we know who this is - and there is ZERO DATA supporting this claim. In fact, the data on Naturals does not speak well to their future prospects in ANY measurable way. It's a ploy to sustain a compromised business model. So how do we address this at Jewelers Advantage? OUR ONLY AGENDA is to make sure you are building inspiring and effective Jewelry Businesses, that are capable of scaling into a true Brand on eCommerce. We don't care about your Materials, we don't have any vested interest in Natural or Lab Diamonds - or ANY material/commodity market. When it comes to Jewelry Industry News (see attached), this is our approach:
