Communication is Key

Share your dreams with your man.

Hi friends. I hope this blog finds you doing well and enjoying the hot, steamy summer that Minnesota has presented us with this year. Things have been crazy here at Diamonds Direct. I could probably start most blogs with a reference to things being hectic, but the past few months has brought it to a whole new level.

We have started our long-awaited store remodel. Over the next few weeks, we will be refinishing our display cases, replacing the dated carpet and painting the walls. Many of you know how excited I am for all of this to happen. Diamonds Direct strives to stay “in the know” when it comes to current jewelry trends, but our actual retail space has needed updating for quite awhile. We cannot wait to reveal our new look to our clients in a while. We are planning on having an open house for our customers so keep your eyes open for that announcement. Here is the BEFORE picture....don't be jealous of the carpet.

 

On to today's topic: Communication. Recently, I have had a friend get engaged who did not purchase from Diamonds Direct. The fact that they did not purchase from us is not the problem. I don’t expect to get everyone’s business. There are many options for jewelers out there and many of them will give you great service. The problem with this particular engagement was the girl had spent time here picking out exactly what she wanted for an engagement ring. Unfortunately, she had not told her boyfriend that there was a jeweler who knew exactly what she wanted. Ladies, if you have a jeweler that you want to work with, TELL YOUR BOYFRIEND! Men usually want to do whatever makes you happy, but if they want to surprise you with an engagement ring they won’t be checking with your jeweler preferences first. I know I am a pretty straight forward girl, but I am not going to contact your boyfriend for you. Well, maybe I would. J

So today’s lesson is communicate what you want to your boyfriend. Whether you think the proposal is a couple weeks away or a couple years away. Tell him. More than likely, he will remember. Whether it is Diamonds Direct or another jeweler, we want to help you get exactly what you want.  

I am happy to send my business card to your boyfriend if you want to drop him a huge hint.

Keep Sparkling!

Kristina
