The Importance of 1. Jewelry Consumer Research

Jewelry is a special kind of consumer goods, which not only has practical function, but also has aesthetic function, symbolic function and investment function. Jewelry consumers are usually high-income, high-education, high-grade people, and they have high requirements and expectations for the quality, design, style, and service of jewelry. At the same time, the consumption of jewelry is also affected by consumers' personal preferences, social culture, psychological motivation, consumption scenes and other factors. These factors are often hidden, complex and changing, and are not easy to be directly observed and measured. Therefore, the research on jewelry consumers is a challenging and important work, which can help jewelry enterprises and brands better understand the needs, preferences, attitudes and behaviors of consumers, so as to formulate more effective marketing strategies, product strategies, marketing strategies and service strategies, improve consumer satisfaction and loyalty, and enhance competitiveness and profitability.

The main methods of jewelry consumer research can be divided into two categories: quantitative research and qualitative research. Quantitative research refers to a regular, structured and standardized questionnaire survey on a large number of consumers through mathematical statistics to obtain quantifiable data such as consumers' basic information, purchase behavior, purchase intention and satisfaction, so as to carry out descriptive analysis, inferential analysis, correlation analysis and causal analysis to reveal the characteristics, laws and trends of consumers. Qualitative research refers to the use of non-mathematical statistical methods to conduct irregular, unstructured, and flexible interviews, observations, experiments, etc. on a small number of consumers to obtain consumers' feelings, thoughts, motivations, values, etc. Quantified data can be summarized, classified, explained, understood, etc., to reveal the deep-seated needs, preferences, attitudes and behaviors of consumers.

Quantitative research and qualitative research have their own advantages and limitations, they can not replace each other, but should complement each other. In general, quantitative research applies to situations where the purpose of the study, the research question, the research hypothesis, the research variables, etc. have been clarified, and it can provide objective, credible, and comparable data to support or deny the research hypothesis and verify or reject the research conclusion. Qualitative research is suitable for situations where the purpose of the study, research questions, research hypotheses, research variables, etc. have not yet been clarified, and it can provide subjective, rich, and multidimensional data to discover or generate research hypotheses, explore or establish research conclusions.
