Online Jewelry Sales Soar!
Just in From Rap.:
Online Jewelry sales were up a dramatic 113 percent to $1.9 billion, the largest increase of any retail category in the 2004 holiday selling season.
Online retailer amazon.com included jewelry and watches on its "best of 2004 list" - the top-selling, most positively reviewed, most wished for and the most favorite gifts as determined by its customers in 2004.
Why are online jewelry sales so strong? Experts say that the sharp rise in broadband usage is behind soaring jewelry sales. Broadband internet allows retailers to post "richer" diamond and jewelry pictures that really let you "see" what you are buying. The fact that many diamond wholesalers, vendors, and retailers, are now forced to showcase their diamonds and jewelry to internet savvy consumers with real data and information, has also helped boost consumer confidence in online jewelers.
