Reimagining the Jewelry Shopping Experience
To listen to this episode, .Since its founding, Ring Concierge has broadened its scope beyond engagement rings to fine jewelry. Wegman explained, 'We started with just engagement rings, hence the name Ring Concierge, but it has since evolved into so much more.' Today, the company caters to Millennial women, particularly professionals who typically purchase jewelry for themselves.Ring Concierge boomed as an online business, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, recognizing the enduring value of brick-and-mortar stores in the fine jewelry sector, Wegman has expanded her business model. 'To date, about 90 percent of the fine jewelry industry is still done in brick-and-mortar…we realized quite quickly that we needed to get ahead of having a brick-and-mortar location,' she stated.Today, Ring Concierge operates five successful stores in key locations including Manhattan, Los Angeles, Houston, and Boca Raton, Fla. These venues offer an immersive and tactile shopping experience that resonates well with the preferences of Millennials and Gen Z consumers, who crave engaging and memorable shopping experiences.A key ingredient to Ring Concierge's success is its strategic use of social media, particularly Instagram. Wegman highlighted the monumental role of Instagram in building trust and brand recognition globally. As the company prepares for future growth, maintaining a robust online presence remains a pivotal strategy.

Starbucks remote workers ordered to return to office 4 days a week
Remote workers will have to return to the office at least four days a week – up from three – or take a buyout as CEO Brian Niccol works to turnaround the coffee chain's prolonged sales slump. The company's new in-office requirement will apply to all office workers starting in October, Niccol said Monday. Starbucks is offering employees who decide to leave the company a one-time voluntary exit program that includes a cash payment. 'We are reestablishing our in-office culture because we do our best work when we're together,' Niccol said in a statement. 'We share ideas more effectively, creatively solve hard problems, and move much faster. Being in person also helps us build and strengthen our culture. As we work to turn the business around, all these things matter more than ever.' Many office workers got hooked on remote work as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down offices across America. Five years later, a growing number of employers from Amazon to JPMorgan Chase are winding back the clock on remote work. Starbucks began requiring employees to return to the office at least three days a week in 2023. Now it will also require all corporate people managers working remotely to relocate to Seattle or Toronto within 12 months. Across industries, the moves have not always been popular with employees. Three-quarters of employed adults who have a job that can be done from home are working remotely at least some of the time, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. If their employer no longer allowed them that flexibility, nearly half said they would be unlikely to stay on. Is remote work only for rich CEOs? Double standard ignites workplace tensions Also unpopular is the perception of a double standard for executives. Some top executives run their businesses from the comfort of their home office hundreds or even thousands of miles from the corporate headquarters. Niccol has been Starbucks' highest-profile remote worker. Last year, the company lured him from Chipotle Mexican Grill with a deal that permits him to commute 1,600 miles from his Newport Beach, California, home to the company's Seattle headquarters on the company's private jet and on its dime. Starbucks says Niccol now has an office and a residence in Seattle. Niccol's arrangement attracted a lot of media attention, 'putting him in an uncomfortable position,' said Stanford University economics professor Nick Bloom, who studies remote work. 'I suspect part of this move is also for Niccol to reestablish himself as the tough in-person leader and move away from being seen as some kind of work-from-home champion.'
