A category that resists
every lever mass retail pulls.
Croghan's Jewel Box has been Charleston's fine jewelry destination for nearly a century, selling bridal, estate and designer pieces at premium order values. High AOV means structurally lower conversion, and premium positioning means discounting and urgency are mostly unavailable.
The situation,as it arrived.
Scaling a fine jewelry account is not a budget problem. The blunt instruments available to mass retail — discount, urgency, volume — either do not work here or actively erode what the brand has spent decades building. A product mix running from everyday fine jewelry to rare estate pieces needs each format and audience matched to the right part of the catalog.
What existed was a strong organic base, a loyal returning customer pool, and real room to improve paid efficiency across three platforms — provided the creative stayed inside the brand's editorial register and the calendar drove the plan.
Four moves,in the order they happened.
Build creative in the brand's own register
Croghan's has a curated editorial voice built over decades. Seasonal creative was produced inside it rather than against it, rotated across all platforms ahead of each key window instead of in response to one.
Let allocation follow live performance
Meta, Google and Pinterest run off one calendar with budget moving toward whichever channel is returning best in a given window, rather than fixed splits defended for their own sake.
Match format to intent
Catalog campaigns for reach at efficient cost per click; branded creative at the point of decision. Estate ads run always-on because they surface the brand's most serious collectors.
Coordinate around the moments that matter
Mother's Day, estate collection launches, in-store trunk shows and the Charleston cultural calendar planned as advertising events rather than covered after the fact.
Everything thatleft the building.
- Integrated program across Meta, Google and Pinterest
- Seasonal creative production in the brand's editorial voice
- Catalog, Advantage+, acquisition and remarketing campaigns
- Performance Max and branded search
- Pinterest program rebuild
- Always-on estate collection advertising
- Promotional calendar coordination
