We’re standing at a crossroads for our industry. Supply chains are consolidating, margins are squeezed, consumer demands are changing, and digital technology is revolutionizing how we do business. The traditional operating models that have worked for generations now deliver diminishing returns. We can see that in malls and main streets the world over, with storied businesses closing their doors. Businesses are struggling to maintain, let alone grow, their market share.  But every crossroads provides a choice. You can follow the same path or seize the opportunity to take a new strategic direction for your business. You can decide to take control of your future or let the market decide for you. Hill & Co. is here to help you make an informed choice. That’s why we’ve launched our The Business of Jewelry Report to share, with you, the industry insights and strategies you need to make the best decisions. For our first edition, we chose the theme of shortening supply chains because it underpins so many of the challenges impacting global B2B jewelry and diamond businesses. We know that a generation of companies face some big decisions in the coming years Should I sell directly to the consumer? How does that work? • Who are those consumers anyway? • How do I understand them and get my products in front of them?   • How do I create a brand that captures attention? • What technology do I need to grow my business in this new world? In The Business of Jewelry Report, we explore all of these questions and more. Most importantly, we give you some of the answers you need to maintain your position and ensure your business is growing and thriving in this new market landscape.

Out with the old, in with the new. But that's easier said than done. Clients often need our help transitioning from their old way of doing things to a new way. We do that by prioritizing results over tactics. We test new approaches in select markets while maintaining existing strategies elsewhere. This method allows us to demonstrate the effectiveness of new tactics without requiring wholesale changes. Change is often met with resistance, especially when it's imposed. We aim to make the transition smoother by highlighting the pain points of the current method and the potential relief that comes with trying something new. We show them how our approach leads to the desired outcome, steering clear of buzzwords and focusing on tangible results. #ResultsDriven #Innovation

The best umpire between options--and the plainest reason to actually go ahead and take action--is the expected results. With personalities, policies, internal politics and legacy plans, decision making can get hazy. The best focus is expected results accompanied by a realistic timeframe. #analytics #ROI #growthmarketing #data #insights #accountability #performancemarketing #retail #financialservices
