Retailing on GemNet using the GemNet ‘Virtual Jewellery Arcade’
Retail businesses feature a photograph or logo of their shop or store. To
enter a shop the InterNet user simply clicks on the picture of the shop that
takes their fancy. (the shops rotate so every shop gets the same exposure).
Once inside the buyer is able to view and buy items of jewellery, watches, or
whatever the shop owner wishes to promote. Imagine opening your doors
and allowing 32 million potential customers to stroll in and peruse your stock,
24 hours a day. The Virtual Jewellery Arcade is the Retailer’s gateway to
their very own World Wide Web pages. The cost of a retail unit is £175
($265) just per year including design, imaging, programming and ground rent
(computer space).
