Not Your Average Jewelry Store
Peter Stavrianidis, Ph.D., the owner of Venus Jewelers, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about his award-winning business and its impressive online reputation.
The first question we had for Dr. Stavrianidis was what sets Venus Jewelers apart from the many other jewelry stores in New Jersey. Here’s his response:
“We really, truly care in a very authentic way. Our mission doesn’t end until the customer is WOWed. We do whatever it takes to make that happen, and we do make it happen. Nothing less than a WOW experience.”
Dr. Stavrianidis went on to add:
“Custom-made pieces are our specialty. We revive jewelry (instead of repair); we do in-house appraisals while the client waits. We are a full-service establishment. We are direct diamond importers. We personally go overseas to the different diamond centers to select diamonds expressly for our customers.”
We also wanted to know what their mission is at Venus Jewelers and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Dr. Stavrianidis had to say:
“We have the mission statement posted on our website: ‘As a fifth-generation family jeweler, we carry on this precious legacy with pride, commitment, and passion. The main principles of this longevity are our inspired connection to this very noble profession and our immeasurable affinity to our extended family — our valued clients. Our mission is to remain loyal to this tradition by educating the public about the wonderful world of diamonds, precious gems, and fine jewelry. For us and our staff, it is such an exciting and rewarding journey, and we enjoy every moment of it!’”
Dr. Stavrianidis added:
“We are very involved in the community, in nonprofit charity-oriented institutions and organizations. It’s a supplement in being so involved in our community in every way. Quite often, we hold events to support causes that are good for the improvement of the community. We have a real passion and dedication.”
Building Success Through Longevity and Community Involvement
When asked about their secret to a strong online reputation at Venus Jewelers, Dr. Stavrianidis:
“It’s not just a job; it’s a legacy, we’ve been in this business for five generations. It’s a way of life. It’s a responsibility. We have a tremendous affinity for working with the community; it’s a part of our DNA.”
Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Venus Jewelers has grown by being in their location for 40 years, by establishing three generations of clients — who are also fans and promoters and through community involvement. However, word of mouth is their strongest asset when it comes to promoting and sustaining the business.
Dr. Stavrianidis clearly knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there:
“If it’s a brick and mortar business, the online reputation begins with the personal contact in person or on the phone that would lead to them leaving a good online review. We, every day, live and breathe the question, ‘What can we do to improve ourselves, to improve our product and service?’ [We] never, never rest on our laurels; it continues with training for everyone — myself, managers and employees…”
Congratulations to the team at Venus Jewelers for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Dr. Stavrianidis, for taking the time to speak with us!
