The December 2012–January 2013 issue of JCK is full of predictions, expectations, and concerns for the jewelry industry in 2013.
One of the main topics that surfaced in interviews was the industry’s use of technology—or lack thereof. How could jewelers and designers take advantage of technology in the coming year when some companies don’t even have a website?
While progress may be slow, studies last year showed that the jewelry industry is making digital strides. I’ve also profiled several of JCK’s Twitter followers and Facebook friends recently who have figured out how to use social networks to boost their brands’ profiles.
For those who need more evidence that the Internet and mobile aren’t passing fads, check out these three infographics on the future of retail.
