To do this, Ben Bridge invites their customers to five major in-store shows and several minor shows each year to present varied products. Each show is based around a single designer brand such as David Yurman or Rolex, core products such as diamonds, or exclusive cuts and mountings of diamonds or gems. The shows are critical to the sales goals of each store and the company as a whole, so the retailer must be able to target and attract the right customers by knowing who purchases what brand, type, or style of jewelry or timepiece.
“They needed a system that would allow us to track each customer's preferred merchandise, store, and sales associate,” Montgomery says. “This would allow us to advise them not only of relevant shows, but also of relevant, branded product.”

Ben Bridge selected Connected Retailer CRM to meet their personalized marketing requirements. Previously, the retailer had been using a financial auditing and POS suite that was customized in-house and was not designed as a marketing tool.
