It's a controversial topic among jewelry buyers:

Should you buy jewelry online or offline?

Or

Why buying jewelry online is better?

Some people believe buying online poses a lot of risk. What they don't understand is, online stores are also certified and accredited like the offline ones. 

So the chances of finding fake products on an online store are similar to that of in an offline store. 

But did you know that you can save a lot of money on jewelry by buying it online?

Buying jewelry in showrooms costs you a lot more extra. In this article, we'll discuss the reasons behind it.

THE COST OF COMMUTE

First of all, you'll have to 'go' to a jewelry showroom. 

Whether you go from your home or office, you'll have to travel. You might get stuck in traffic too and end up wasting a bunch of hours there. 

The cost of commute depends on the distance between your starting point (home or office) and the showroom, but it's a considerable cost.

When you buy jewelry online:

On the other hand, when you buy jewelry online, you don't have to worry about the cost of the commute. You can place your order from anywhere at any time of the day. 

You don't have to go anywhere. All you need is a device and an internet connection. 

Once you place your order, you just have to wait for the order to arrive on your doorstep. There's no cost of commute for you in this case. 

THE COST OF TIME

Showrooms are slow. You'll be talking to the salesperson who'll bring out different pieces to show you. 

You'll be spending a good amount of time in the commute and the buying process. 

And  time is a luxury in this day and age. You might end up spending a good 2 or 3 hours in the entire process.

The people at the showroom wouldn't want you to leave quickly too. They'd want you to stay for long so you can get enticed by the other products present in their collection.

In case you buy online:

Here, buying jewelry online has another advantage. You can visit an online store within a few seconds.

And going from one page of the site to the next takes one click. You don't have to rely on a salesperson to show you different collections.

You can simply search for what you want and find what you're looking for quickly. 

You wouldn't have to put any effort into going anywhere or talking to someone. Within a few minutes, you might end up ordering a beautiful diamond jewelry set.

THE SECRET COST OF SHOWROOMS

We've discussed the obvious charges but there's an additional reason why buying in showroom costs more than buying online.

Running showroom costs money. The maintenance cost of a showroom is substantial. 

So, to make profits, a showroom has to keep the prices of the products high. Otherwise, they'd be making losses. 

They can give you discounts and offers but they might not be as lucrative as the ones in online stores.

So a showroom has to charge you extra so it can keep running. 

The Jewelebrate Advantage:

At Jewelebrate, you get an additional bonus.

When you get to save money on the jewelry you buy, you get the option to buy more products too!

WHAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE ANY DESIGNS THERE?

There's another problem with showrooms. While it might seem like they have big collections, in reality, their collections are considerably limited.

There's a high chance that you visit a showroom and don't like any of their designs. Then, you'd have to find and visit another showroom and spend more time and energy on the commute. 

Either you'll visit another showroom or you'll compromise with your preferences. 

When you purchase online:

On the other hand, an online jewelry store isn't limited by four walls. It can have a humongous collection for the customers.

Take a look at our store. You'll find a huge collection of jewelry there.

You don't have to compromise with your preferences when you're buying jewelry from an online store. 

OUR CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

As you can see, you have to spend quite an extra amount of money when you buy jewelry from a showroom.

Even when the showroom is nearby, it might still be costlier than buying online. There are plenty of other advantages of online stores too (latest collections, lucrative deals, etc.).
