Market research is a planned and systematic effort to understand a market with certain business objectives in mind. Market research for jewellery stores should emphasise on these elements:
· Product-Focused: Reading demand, trends, and preferences concerning gems and stones, designs, making, price expectations, etc.
· Customer-Focused: Target segments, potential customers, customer personas, customer and user journey, buying behaviour, etc.
· Competition-Focused: Competitors, propositions, pricing, marketing, CRM, supply and distribution, services, etc.
· Market-Focused: Total and targetable market size, barriers to market entry and exit, availability of commercial real estate, ease of doing business, civic infrastructure, ITC facilities, risks, challenges, opportunities, etc.
· Focused on Actions/Decisions: Value propositions, products, pricing, positioning, advertising, promotions, channels, CRM, etc.

A business model is a representative depiction of why and how a proposed business will earn revenue by creating and delivering the intended value propositions. This involves identifying and mapping the value chain and the internal and external capabilities required to create and deliver the intended value propositions to customers.
While 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝘀, jewellery stores must emphasise attaining unique brand positioning. In the prevailing state of competition in retail, standing out in the crowd is extremely challenging with run-of-the-mill solutions.

Sound financial and commercial planning and assessments are instrumental in keeping the financial affairs of an enterprise in a manageable state. Having a financial plan also serves as a yardstick for financial discipline. These checks and measures help keep expenses and use of funds within budgets. These assessments and plans play a vital role in achieving the objectives of profitability, investments, and the creation of funds.
In 𝗷𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, some of the important areas of work under financial and commercial planning (and assessments) are CAPEX and OPEX requirements, insurance, demand projection, procurement planning, revenue forecasts, cash flow management, working capital, pricing and margin analysis, ROI and break-even analysis, estimated profit and loss statements, financial ratios, and other variables of financial management implicating the business model and business plan in question.

Big and renowned retail jewellery brands tend to be in a state of compulsion to go for premium commercial locations for their showrooms. It is common to see the branches of such brands only on prominent roads and marketplaces. The ideology behind this strategy is to maintain a premium brand image in a bid to offer easy visibility to ideal customer segments. The same principles hold for small and medium jewellery brands and businesses as well but with a lesser degree of accentuation.
However, the traditional ways of thinking tend to take the backseat in the face of modern ways of reaching out to customers and fulfilling their needs and expectations. For example, many jewellery brands have multiple sub-brands or product lines; each catering to a different market segment bifurcating their channel requirements. They can (and must) choose different store locations for different sub-brands.
Coming to 𝗷𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀, the same standard layout solutions with or without improvisations are applicable here as well. Few relevant considerations on the subject are:
· Branding objectives
· Visual appeal, interior design, lighting
· Safety and Security
· Access to/from the workshop
· Hyper-localisation, customer experience
· Checkout, entry-exit points for customers, employees, and inventory
