Plumb Club Study on Consumer Activity Online and on Social Media

In Part 1 of INSTORE Magazine’s analysis of the Plumb Club’s latest study, we saw that retailer websites are just as important as family and friends when deciding where to purchase jewelry. Part 2 of their analysis focuses on consumer behavior online.

As that plurality of shoppers being influenced by retailer websites would suggest, 70% of shoppers research jewelry purchases online.  The majority cite convenience as their reason for ultimately making a purchase online.

Shoppers are not only shopping on ecommerce websites. They’re also buying directly from social media platforms: 40% have made a purchase from a social media platform. Facebook and Instagram are by far the preferred platforms of jewelry shoppers.
