The year 2023 has just begun and we are already in the middle of the hustle and bustle! The past year ended for us with many preparations to exhibit our gemstones worldwide at fairs in Asia, America and Europe at the beginning of this year.
Already in the first quarter of the year many jewelry and gemstone fairs take place. Traders and exhibitors present themselves and their products. It is the starting signal for the placement of new trends. We are, together with HC Arnoldi, part of it!
Visiting fairs is always an exciting event for us, as we can gather countless impressions and have great conversations. Although we are there as exhibitors, we get inspired by other retailers and love the exchange on site.
4 reasons why you should also visit trade fairs
Whether you own a jewelry or goldsmith store, are a designer or jewelry manufacturer, or are in the gemstone business yourself, a trade show visit is worthwhile for all of us!
Here are 4 reasons why it's worth investing your time in a trade show visit:
.
Reason 1: concentrated know-how in one place!
Trade shows are a nice break from the daily work routine. But not only that! At a trade fair, dozens or even hundreds of suppliers from one industry gather in one place to discuss a few topics - if that's not a concentrated offer of expertise! There is the opportunity to exchange ideas with several suppliers without obligation and to make a direct comparison.
A trade fair is an experience. In addition to the actual exhibition, there is usually an exciting program with lectures, demonstrations and exhibits, whereby one gets a lot of knowledge in a short time - and usually at no extra charge!
Our gemstone experts are also on site! Through HC Arnoldi's in-house gemstone cutting shop, we offer not only expertise, but also insight behind the cutting process (click here to go to our "Cutting Process" blog), including pictures and photographs of the cut gemstone. In general, we offer before and after pictures of the processing of the selected rough stone upon request.
Reason 2: First-hand product information
If you are looking for a new dealer, partner or product, a trade fair offers the best conditions, especially in terms of product selection.
Experience products and services live, vividly and from your own hand. Especially this is a big advantage in the gemstone and jewelry industry.
At our booth you may not only look, but also touch! Take a closer look at the gemstones and examine the specimens, feel the surface and carry the weight of the stone with your own hands. Get direct advice from our gemstone experts.
Reason 3: Networking
Whether you're a visitor looking for new suppliers and dealers, or an exhibitor looking to meet current and new customers. Nowhere is it easier to expand your professional network.
National and international trade shows offer their attendees the opportunity to connect with regional and global markets.
Virtual meetings have become a great and very important alternative, but making new contacts through face-to-face exchanges at trade shows is much less complicated. Here you have the opportunity to meet other companies and experts, to discuss new partnerships or projects spontaneously, as well as to make an uncomplicated appointment for a personal consultation. At best, you find out more quickly whether you are on the same wavelength and would like to enter into a future cooperation.
Nowadays, it's hard to imagine everyday life without online shopping, yet we also enjoy the personal exchange at trade fairs, are happy to make new contacts and exchange ideas with inspiring people about the industry, trends and hurdles, and above all with our B2B customers.
.
Reason 4: Market and self-research
All suppliers, including HC Arnoldi, present their gems and novelties. This way you can develop a better feeling for the upcoming and latest trends. Don't miss the presentation of brand new discoveries and world novelties!
Countless impressions can be gathered at a trade show. Use these impressions to shed light on your business as well - Which booth particularly appealed to me and why? Which business idea inspired me? What do others do better than I do? And what am I better at than others?
Trade fairs are also important for us to find out what trends are emerging, how the industry as a whole is developing and where we stand with our company.
