Matt Fehring of Tech Jewelers discusses his two Bridge event experiences.

Video Transcript

So this is actually my second year coming to Bridge. I attended last year in October and I attended this year.  And you know they talked about a lot of the same things about how to increase your your sales with bridal and with the bench and repairs and things like that.  A lot of the sessions you get something out of it that you might not realize.  So I went to the diamonds and gemstones session today and they had really cool lab-grown diamonds which are new to the industry.  So we got to see those, we got to handle them, we got to talk to the people that actually work with them every day and so that in itself is fantastic.  To talk to the people that deal with it, they see the problems firsthand, and they know more of how to go forward with that information and they really want to teach you as a store how to move forward.  You hear about the challenges that they're facing, maybe there's some of your own challenges, and so you really gain those almost friendships in a way by that by the end of Bridge and that's a big reason that I came back this year is because it was such a great experience.  Last year when I came, I met a lot of great people.  A lot of those people I'm still in touch with today and I really enjoy the almost camaraderie of all the different stores that get together.  You know we're all in some way competition to each other but we have that we're all in this together feeling and I really like that experience.
