The Company of Master Jewellers (CMJ) has launched a vodcast series, called CMJ Presents…, which aims to share data, insight and expert opinion with the wider jewellery and watch industry.
Each episode will focus on different topics, such as trends, best practice, insights from the group and member profiles. The first two episodes are already live and available to watch on the CMJ’s YouTube channel @companyofmasterjewellers.
The first episode, called CMJ Presents… Christmas Retail Insights, sees CMJ Director of Membership Development Patrick Turner and Jen Marsden, CMJ Market Insights & Digital Development Manager, dive into the results of the group’s Christmas survey, revealing key insights from members. They go on to explore how retailers can leverage these findings to strengthen their businesses heading into 2025.
Episode two, called CMJ Presents… Multiple Retailer Insights, follows the release of the CMJ’s latest annual Multiples Report, which is exclusively available to CMJ retailer members. In this discussion, Jen and Patrick explore how members can analyse and apply this information on the UK’s largest jewellery conglomerates to plan key periods, track industry trends, and align their strategies with major competitors.
Patrick Turner, CMJ Director of Membership Development, said: “Our fundamental purpose as a group is to support independent retail and help secure the place of independent retail jewellers on the high streets of the UK and Ireland. Our new vodcast series, CMJ Presents… provides a snapshot of the sort of data and insight we regularly share with our members and is part of our wider campaign to bring the industry together and “Be Part Of It”.
“We believe that by sharing the knowledge of our team, members, and suppliers, we can support independent retailers—both within and outside our group—by providing valuable insights to help them navigate today’s challenging market. Internally, our membership fosters deeper collaboration through our extensive network of retailers and suppliers, ensuring that our members stand stronger together as part of a united community.”
