Gabriel & Co. to Launch Omnichannel Strategy at JCK

Fine jeweler Gabriel & Co. has announced that it will launch a new omnichannel experience at this year’s JCK Las Vegas show, offering a new way to interact with all parties involved in the buying process.

With the new service, Gabriel & Co. allows shoppers to select the retail partner through which they’d like to purchase a desired product, shipping that product to the selected retailer for the customer to see—and potentially purchase—in person. If a purchase is made, the retailer takes a share of the profit, even though the transaction originated on Gabriel & Co.’s website; this an effort for the brand to reward its longtime retail partners by promoting foot traffic to their locations.

Also an addition to the new omnichannel, the Gabriel Magic app, a 360-degree virtual reality tool for viewing jewelry, will be available for demonstration at the Gabriel & Co. booth during the show. To see it and all of the company’s product offerings, visit booth S10405 at JCK Las Vegas, and go to gabrielny.com.
