How to choose a CRM for a jewellery business
Jewellery retail has a sales pattern most CRMs were never designed for: very high ticket sizes, long consideration windows, purchases tied to festivals and weddings, and a customer who negotiates over WhatsApp and walks in three times before buying. Before comparing products, judge every option against five criteria.
The five things that matter
First, WhatsApp must be native, because that is where design photos, rate discussions, and order confirmations already happen. Second, follow-up automation — rate-watch lists, festival campaigns, and anniversary reminders should run without anyone remembering them. Third, an order pipeline that carries advances and promised dates, since custom and bridal orders are where reputations are made or lost. Fourth, simplicity: counter staff will abandon anything that feels like accounting software. Fifth, published pricing with GST invoicing, so a two-store business is not pulled into an enterprise sales cycle.
