For decades, the 10+1 Jewellery Saving Scheme has been one of the most successful customer loyalty programs in the jewellery industry. It encourages customers to save a fixed amount every month for 10 months and receive an additional month's benefit from the jeweller. This makes jewellery purchases more affordable while ensuring repeat business for retailers.

However, in today's digital-first world, traditional saving schemes managed through paper receipts, phone calls, and manual reminders often fail to deliver the customer experience that modern buyers expect.

At Upstair Technologies, we believe that a jewellery saving scheme should not just collect monthly installments—it should continuously engage customers, build trust, and increase showroom visits.

Challenges with Traditional 10+1 Saving Schemes

Many jewellery retailers still manage their saving schemes manually, which creates several challenges:

• Customers forget monthly payments.
• Payment reminders require manual follow-up.
• Customers cannot easily check their balance or installment history.
• Retailers have limited opportunities to promote new collections.
• There is little interaction between the customer and the brand during the saving period.
• Managing multiple schemes becomes time-consuming for staff.

These challenges reduce customer engagement and increase operational effort.

A Digital Approach to Jewellery Saving Schemes

Imagine if every customer could manage their jewellery savings directly from their smartphone.

A dedicated mobile app or customer portal can make the entire process simple, transparent, and engaging.

Customers can:

• Join a new 10+1 Saving Scheme online.
• View active and completed schemes.
• Check installment history and payment status.
• Make monthly payments digitally.
• Download receipts instantly.
• Receive reminders before due dates.
• Track maturity dates.
• Redeem their savings in-store or online.

This convenience improves customer satisfaction while reducing manual work for the retailer.

Keeping Customers Engaged Throughout the Year

A saving scheme typically runs for 10–12 months. Instead of interacting with customers only when they make payments, retailers can use this period to build stronger relationships.

The mobile application can send personalized notifications such as:

• New jewellery collection launches
• Festival offers
• Birthday and anniversary wishes
• Exclusive member discounts
• Gold rate updates
• Bridal jewellery recommendations
• Appointment booking for showroom visits
• Store events and exhibitions

Every notification becomes an opportunity to reconnect with the customer.

AI-Powered Personalized Recommendations

Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) can analyse customer preferences based on:

• Previous purchases
• Budget
• Favourite jewellery categories
• Metal preferences
• Diamond or gold choices
• Wishlist items
• Browsing behaviour

Based on these insights, customers receive personalized jewellery recommendations throughout their saving journey.

Instead of generic promotions, every customer receives suggestions that truly match their interests.

Omnichannel Experience

Customers expect flexibility.

Whether they visit the showroom, browse the website, or use the mobile app, their saving scheme should remain synchronized.

A connected platform enables customers to:

• Start their journey online.
• Visit the showroom for product trials.
• Book appointments.
• Reserve favourite jewellery.
• Complete purchases seamlessly.

This creates a true omnichannel jewellery shopping experience.

Increase Showroom Footfall

Digital engagement naturally encourages more showroom visits.

Retailers can promote:

• New arrivals
• Exclusive previews
• Bridal consultations
• Jewellery styling appointments
• Festival launches
• Limited-time offers

Customers who are already saving are more likely to visit the store when they receive timely and relevant updates.

Build Long-Term Customer Loyalty

A digital saving scheme is more than a payment collection system.

It becomes a complete customer engagement platform that strengthens trust, improves communication, and keeps customers connected with the brand throughout the year.

Retailers benefit from:

• Higher customer retention
• Better installment collection rates
• Increased repeat purchases
• Higher average transaction value
• Improved customer satisfaction
• Stronger brand loyalty
