The year is almost over, which means we are all thinking about the future. If you create New Year’s resolutions for your business, then we have a few suggestions that we think can help you. We sprinkled in a few personal suggestions too, for a little added inspiration!
Ask us to help promote you! An easy way to show off your beautiful jewelry or get the word out about an in-store event is to let us amplify your message. Send us your photos for our social media or our Trending Now page, or schedule an AGS Instagram Takeover! We also have a way to help the AGS community get to know you better—ask to be featured in one of our various member spotlights in Spectra or Spectra Update. To learn more, contact [email protected].
Stay in the know with AGS PRO. Expand your knowledge by reading articles each month in our online educational portal, AGS PRO, or share your expertise by writing an article for Spectra or Spectra Update. The AGS community wants to hear from other members on best practices in business, learn more about gemstones, marketing and sales techniques, and any topic that helps them improve as professionals.
Stretch once a day (at least). Take care of your health by stretching once a day. You can reduce stress and improve your posture!
Give your senses and your brain a treat. Visit a museum, see a play, listen to a different type of music than you are used to, or learn a new language. Learning a new skill at any age has a specific and definite impact on your brain!
Promote your membership. AGS has decals for your doors and windows. If a consumer then asks you, “What’s an AGS?” you can proudly tell them, “The American Gem Society is a community of jewelry professionals dedicated to protecting the jewelry-buying public, by ensuring that jewelers, like me, are up-to-date on our education and ethical business practices.” To request decals, contact your Community Ambassador, [email protected].
