You work hard to craft the fine details of every piece of jewelry you produce or sell in your small diamond and jewelry shop. You expect that this hard-working, highly selective service would speak for itself. In a digital world, though, you need to get social. As a small business, your audience could be global if you create a strong social media strategy.
To help you, we have 10 strategies that allow you to create a solid level of social media marketing that will enhance your diamond and jewelry shop, giving you access to new customers and brand-building power you just cannot get in any other way.
1. Use Google Business Profile

This is by far the first and most important step to take. It is a free service from Google that allows you to get your shop listed in the search engines. Whenever someone local to you searches for a jewelry or diamond shop, your location's name, address, and other details show up right at the top of the search engine results page. People can see, click, and visit in moments.

Moreover, you can keep your customers informed by publishing business updates directly on your Google Business Profile, similar to social media posts. This approach helps maintain an up-to-date and inviting profile, packed with useful information, just like NightRider Jewelry above.
Signing up is quick and simple. Just visit the Google Business Profile website, enter your details, and you're set. This small effort can have a significant impact.

2. Create Brand-Specific Social Media Pages

You need a good-looking, on-brand social media page on the main channels, including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Ensure they are filled with fantastic content (more on that in a moment).
Above is a great an example: Jooel is a small jewelry company noted for its stunning, elegant social media pages. They offer professionally designed photo shoots that are beautiful pieces of art themselves. Create pages that directly reflect your business.
3. Incorporate User Generated Content

This is a great way to boost engagement on your social media pages. Ask your followers to share a photo of a piece they purchased from you.
DPT Antwerp above is an excellent example of this. Their goal is to get users to snap photos and share them online. That boosts their following while also providing a way for customers to see their products being used on real people not just an ad.
4. Create Branded Content

Check out Shri Silver Jewellery in this Instagram post. Their high-end, luxury designer pieces are easily showcased here, as is their logo.
Having a well-defined brand is step one. From there, you need to ensure that every piece of content you put up correlates with your brand. Be sure your logo is visible, and the style you want to convey is clearly evident.
5. Make Your Discounts Easy to Find and Share

Here’s an example from Julyrosejewelry on Instagram. They offered 10% off their products and showcased exactly what they had for sale in doing so.
Make sure your social media pages always clearly indicate what you have on sale
As a small business, it can be hard to reach a large audience even when you have a great price point to offer. Make sure your social media pages always clearly indicate what you have on sale, what to do to get the sale price, and why they should.
6. Provide Informational Pages of Content

Use social media to help educate the masses
Use social media to help educate the masses. You can do that by creating a guide they could download (a great tool for getting their email address for additional advertising). However, make sure that, no matter your goal, you’re making it visually impactful.
7. Showcase Your New Line Together

If you’re launching a new design, perhaps a new line of items, make sure to showcase the entire collection together on your social media. This allows your followers to find something that fits their needs and helps you get some instant traffic when they love what they see.
Andria Bieber Designs excels in this by showcasing their line of pink chalcedony faceted beads in the Instagram post above. They also provide a behind-the-scenes look at how they produce their products, offering another engaging way to feature your products.
8. Use Hashtags Readily
