Jewelry · Watches · Fine jewelry
The client returns in three years. Someone has to remember.
In jewelry and watches, visits are rare and baskets are high: everything is decided between two visits. Selekt sits above your jewelry store software to share out client books, follow up at the right moment, and measure what the relationship produces, store by store.
Where it starts
The relationship lives in the advisor's memory.
In most jewelry stores the client knowledge is real, precise, sometimes remarkable. It simply lives in people's heads and notebooks, and it covers only a handful of clients.
The personal notebook
Every advisor keeps one: sizes, preferences, dates. It works very well, for them, as long as they are there and as long as they remember.
When an advisor leaves
The store loses touch with their best clients. Those clients come back, are not recognised, and leave with the feeling of having become anonymous.
Twenty to thirty clients followed
That is what one advisor can hold from memory. Beyond that the file sleeps: those clients bought once, and nobody ever reached out again.
The full client file
It already sits in your retail software, with purchases and dates. Data is not what is missing — someone whose actual job is to use it, is.
The long cycle
The occasions do not come round again.
Nobody buys a diamond because they were walking past. They buy for a reason, on a date — and that date is usually known in advance.
Life milestones
Engagement, wedding, birth
A client who bought an engagement ring has a wedding band to buy within the year, then an anniversary every year after that. These appointments are missed only once.
The seasonal peaks
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, the holidays
Everyone knows the dates; almost nobody prepares them client by client. The difference is made three weeks earlier, with a selection that actually fits the person.
The client's own dates
Their birthday, their last purchase
The most profitable date is often the anniversary of a milestone purchase. A year later, a message signed by the advisor who served them beats any campaign.
Complementary
What your software already does, what Selekt adds.
Selekt does not replace your jewelry store software. It relies on it: without purchase history there is no relationship to work on, and no revenue to measure.
| Your retail software | Selekt | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock, pieces, inventory | |||
| Payment and accounting | |||
| Regulatory registers and tax | |||
| Client profile and purchase history | picked up and enriched | ||
| Client books shared out per advisor | |||
| Traced, prepared follow-ups | |||
| Influenced revenue, measured per store |
Your software runs the store. Selekt brings the client back, and proves what that produced.
The client book
Sharing the client book between advisors.
A file everyone can see and nobody follows produces nothing. A client book puts a name against each client: someone whose job it is to know them and to reach out.
- Allocation follows your rules: who sold, who knows the client, who has capacity
- A client served by several advisors stays visible to all, with one person responsible
- When an advisor leaves, their book is reassigned with its full history
- The manager sees who was contacted, when, and who has been called by nobody
The details
What brings a client back is the detail.
In jewelry these are not vague preferences. They are precise facts a client will not give twice, and expects you to have kept.
The measurements
Ring size, wrist size, neck size, chain length. The detail that turns browsing into a sale, because you already know the piece will fit.
Metals and constraints
Yellow or white gold, nickel allergies, preferred stones, engravings already done. These decide whether a selection lands or misses.
The piece seen in the window
A one-off or limited piece looked at but not bought: recorded, it becomes a reason to call before it goes.
Consignment and reservations
A piece on consignment, a reservation, a special order: each has a deadline, and every deadline is a legitimate reason to make contact.
The budget and the occasion ahead
What the client is quietly preparing — an anniversary, a gift — tells you what to show, and above all when.
Service
Repairs and servicing: a date known in advance.
Workshop flows are treated everywhere as logistics. They are in fact the most natural source of contact in the trade: the client is already expecting to hear from you.
01
The repair is ready
A message as soon as it returns from the workshop, signed by the advisor who took it in. The client comes back to the store, and the visit becomes another occasion.
02
Servicing due
A mechanical watch is serviced at known intervals. Reaching out before the date is a service; waiting for a failure sends the client somewhere else.
03
Warranty about to end
A few weeks before expiry, an offered check-up beats a generic letter. It is the moment to talk about care, straps and accessories again.
04
Special orders and waiting lists
In watches especially, waiting can last months. A regular update, even with no news, separates a patient client from a lost one.
The trades
Watches and fine jewelry: other rhythms.
The gestures are alike; the moments differ.
Watches
The time of waiting
Servicing, warranties, waiting lists on sought-after references, pre-owned: follow-up is measured in years, and a house is judged on its ability to keep the thread.
Fine jewelry
Bespoke and transformation
A commission, a family stone to reset, an appraisal: long, deeply personal cycles where every exchange has to be found again months later.
Outreach
Reaching out without being intrusive.
The concern is legitimate: in jewelry, one message too many damages the relationship. The rule is simple — you do not make contact to sell, you make contact because there is a reason.
- A real reason: a piece reserved, a service due, a date that matters to the client
- The channel they chose, at the frequency the house has set for itself
- A message signed by their advisor, in the house's tone, never a mass promotion
- Human approval before anything is sent, including when the draft was prepared automatically
The proof
Measuring what the relationship produces.
01
Trace the action
Message, appointment, follow-up: timestamped and attributed to the advisor who made it.
02
Set the window
Seven, thirty or ninety days between contact and sale. You decide, and the rule is written down rather than hidden in a setting.
03
Attribute the sale
A sale within the window joins influenced revenue. It stays separate from walk-in sales and is never added to them.
04
Reconcile
Store by store, line by line, the amounts match the POS. Across equipped retailers, influenced revenue commonly represents 20 to 25 percent of total revenue.
Choosing a tool
What jewelry store software should include.
Criteria rather than brands. Most jewelers already own retail software; the question is what has to sit next to it for clients to come back.
The client
A profile fed by the POS
Purchases, sizes, metals, engravings and past conversations in one place, updated without anyone retyping. A profile filled in by hand stays empty.
The book
Named client books
Each client belongs to someone. Without that, the top clients are followed twice and the rest are never called at all.
The calendar
Dates that come back
Anniversaries, servicing due, warranties ending, reservations: the tool has to surface the day's reasons to reach out, not wait to be asked.
The proof
Attribution rules you set
A window, included channels, and a clear separation between direct and influenced revenue. If the vendor sets the rules, the figures will be argued about.
How influenced revenue is attributedThe floor
Mobile, in seconds
An advisor has two minutes between clients. A tool that takes longer than the service it renders will not be used, whatever the training plan says.
The house
Configuration without a developer
Fields, roles, message templates and appointment types change from one house to the next. Every change that needs a project is a change that will not happen.
See the integrationsYour systems
It works with the software you already run.
Selekt connects to the retail systems in place in jewelry stores — and to the others: integration is not a limitation on our side, it is a step in the deployment.
Your point of sale and retail management
Purchase history flows in, so the client profile is readable on the floor and influenced revenue reconciles with the till. Your software keeps stock, payment, registers and tax.
Your e-commerce
An online order joins the profile of the client followed in store, so the advisor stops discovering after the fact what their client bought on the website.
Your messaging channels
Outreach leaves on the channel the client actually uses, and stays traced in the name of the house and of the advisor who sent it.
Anything else you run
Loyalty, review platforms, marketing tools, a bespoke in-house system: tell us what you use and we set the connection up with you, store by store.
Frequently asked
What jewelers ask us.
01
Does Selekt work with our jewelry store software?
Yes. Selekt does not replace it: it sits above it to retrieve purchases and make the client profile readable on the floor. The environments we meet most often are Odeis Retail, Bijou3, Cegid, Shopify POS and Retail Pro, and we connect to other systems as well. The connection is set up with you, store by store.
02
What is the best CRM for a jewelry business?
The one your advisors open between two clients. A general-purpose CRM is built for marketing: segments, campaigns, open rates. A jewelry business needs the opposite — one client, their ring size, the date their servicing is due, and a message signed by the person who sold to them.
03
Our client file is old and incomplete. Can we use it?
Yes, and that is the most common case. We start from what exists: names, purchases, dates. Profiles are then completed sale after sale, by the advisor, in seconds. An imperfect file that is alive beats a perfect one nobody updates.
04
Our advisors do not have work phones.
That is the most frequent objection, and a fair one. The application is used from a device belonging to the store, tablet or mobile, and exchanges are traced in the name of the house and the advisor. Channels are configured at set-up, to match how your store works.
05
How much time does an advisor need to spend on it?
A few minutes a day. In the morning, the list of clients to contact; after a sale, two or three details added to the profile. If the tool asks more than it gives, it will not be used: the return has to be immediate — finding a client, or seeing a piece available elsewhere in the network.
06
How do we know what the relationship produces?
Every action is timestamped and attributed to its author. You set an attribution window — seven, thirty or ninety days. Sales that follow within it join influenced revenue, kept separate from direct sales and never added to them. Across equipped retailers, influenced revenue commonly represents 20 to 25 percent of the total.
07
Does it replace our loyalty card?
No. A card rewards volume; clienteling addresses one client at a time, with a real reason to reach out: a service due, a piece reserved, a wedding anniversary. The two coexist, and the card works better when an advisor actually uses it.
