The online marketplace channel now sees global sales in excess of $2 trillion. Given their massive growth and attractiveness to consumers, these marketplaces – like Amazon.com – have become critically important for many of the world’s jewelry brands.
Along with their unprecedented growth, online marketplaces have brought numerous challenges to the world’s jewelry brands, including disrupted distribution strategies, unauthorized gray market sales, counterfeit goods, brand equity erosion and channel conflict, all of which can result in degraded brand value, quality issues, poor consumer experience and hampered overall financial performance.
