(PRESS RELEASE) The Plumb Club introduces two new podcasts into its library of retail educational information. The initial podcasts, which made their debut in April, focused on the bridal consumer, often the “point of entry” for many jewelers. The May podcasts discuss two timely topics. Since some stores remain closed at this time while others are preparing to reopen, the new podcasts discuss constant content creation to keep your customer engaged and your store in top-of-mind with consumers, while creating a customer experience and conveying your brand message via visual merchandising. Both podcasts will supply retailers with insights, knowledge and immediately actionable steps that can impact their business whether they are remaining closed or reopening.

Pam provides pertinent questions that enable a store to conduct their own store assessment, tips on techniques and design, as well as information on the psychology behind product arrangement that stimulates buying decisions and inspirational merchandising resources.
Pam Levine is a brand experience specialist and president of Levine Luxury Branding, a boutique agency that provides brand communication across every point of customer contact.
