The Value of Bridge
A sneak peak of the Bridge conference:
What jewelers are saying about Bridge:
Today's jewelers cannot afford to not attend this event. We left feeling renewed and inspired. Now, when we place an order or think of placing an order, our first choice is Stuller. There was never any pressure for us to purchase anything and we felt like they were training us for us. When we got back to our store, we immediately had a computer and monitor installed and loaded with the kiosks and stuller.com. We started using it right away and are thrilled with the sales we have generated already. Currently, we are waiting to receive our QR codes and are excited to add them to our advertising. Thank you to Stuller for helping us become tomorrow's jewelers and changing the way we do business.

“I have been in the business for 27 years and went to Bridge hoping to become more tech-savvy and came away with the tools and the information to do just that! Thank you again for your investment in the small jeweler! I pray God's richest blessings on the Stuller Family. I realized that as much as anything I needed the reminder of the "wow" factor in my own relationships with my customers. Thank you for everything you taught me, modeled for me and reminded me of."

“We have gone 'all in' by using CounterSketch Studio™, Red Box Diamonds®, Black Box Gemstones®, done the remount promo, five or six prototype kits, kiosks…. Our exposure-to-asset dollars in case have been reduced by over 40%, our sales are up over 18%, our gross profit up nearly 15% and our net profit up $75,000 for year-end 2010."

“For the first time in my 26 years of this great business, I felt totally comfortable at all of the event. No egos, no gamesmanship, no push, just genuine concern for the future of the industry. I'm still not sure if we can implement all of the ideas, but we are certainly not going to sit back and do nothing.”

“We attended last year’s event…. I was just blown away. You guys introduced so many new things to us and it just put a spark in us…. We came back and we decided who we were and what changes we wanted to make.”
