What We Do
CMC-Meridian helps our clients in the Jewelry Industry increase profits by
offering consumer promotions and sales person/ dealer incentives.
Consumer Promotion:
Our Norwegian Cruise Line/ Hotel get-a-way package
has been a very successful gift-with-purchase offer. The
vacation allows you to offer a gift that has a very high
retail value for a minimal cost. Plus, it is the perfect
bridal offer because of the honeymoon tie-in!
Dealer/Salespeople incentives:
Our online merchandise mall and vacation packages are
an exciting motivator to gain more revenue from your
dealers and/or incentivize salespeople to sell your
product.

"At Smyth Jewelers we
were very pleased with
the outcome of the cruise
promotion we ran in
partnership with CMCMeridian… Smyth gave
away 26 cruises and
exceeded $200,000 in
bridal sales as a result of
the cruise giveaway. We
highly recommend
working with CMCMeridian… At Smyth
Jewelers we make
customer service our #1
priority, and CMCMeridian clearly shares
that philosophy.“

“Thank you for helping us create the most successful promotion we’ve ever
had in July! Not only did this event increase Bridal sales, it helped us
improve our margin by 18%.... From the images for the advertising to your
professionalism, everything about this promotion is top notch. As you well
know, we are recommending this offer to any store that wants to increase
sales as well as margin, except our competition, of course! “

“As a client of CMC-Meridian
now for well over six months, I
can honestly say that the
impact of your vacation
incentives on my business has
been tremendous. Having
worked with another vacation
provider, I have been very
pleased to see the difference…
I highly recommend CMCMeridian as a way to motivate
your sales people or a nice
“thank you” for your clients!”

Dear Denise,
I am writing to let you know how pleased we are with the Norwegian Cruise Line promotion we ran with your
company. We offered the cruises for engagement ring and wedding band purchases of $2,500 or more
and, to date, have purchased 50 packages.
The cost of $250 per package is well priced because the perceived value of the cruise is $1,000 or more.
And knowing that the Norwegian Cruise Line is one of the most reputable and prestigious lines in the
world makes me confident that my customers will have a great cruise experience.
The customer service I have received from you and Tom Ris has been excellent. My emails are always
answered quickly, the certificates arrive promptly and the marketing materials you provide to promote
the offer are great!
I would recommend this promotion to other jewelers who are looking for a way to gain a competitive
advantage in their marketplace.
Regards,
Sonny Singvhi

Dear Denise,
Just wanted you to know how pleased we are with the cruise
promotion! We ran the first weekend offer and were amazed how
the wonderful package motivated the buyers. We are continuing with
the program going forward. You are a pleasure to deal with and we
have already recommended your program to other companies.
