Bailey Banks & Biddle Launches Revamped Website

May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- DALLAS, TX—May 24th, 2011—Bailey Banks & Biddle, the legendary jewelry store founded in 1832, introduces a new, innovative, multi-channel jewelry shopping experience with the launch of its new website today.  With the same products offered in-store and online and a seamless pricing strategy, the new model combines the assurance of shopping in a bricks and mortar environment with the cost savings of shopping the internet.

“Today’s affluent shopper is savvy enough to know that the best values are found online, but they don’t want to completely sacrifice the romance of their jewelry shopping experience,” explains Anne Valentzas, SVP Marketing & E-Commerce. “With the re-launch of our site, we’re finally able to offer fine jewelry consumers the best of both worlds.”

The transparency of prices on loose diamonds means that online shoppers know exactly what they’re getting, and can easily compare prices with other online outlets, yet the overall shopping experience is that of shopping in a luxury environment, with a full-service bricks and mortar staff to assist with questions, concerns and a personalized experience. The provenance of the Bailey Banks & Biddle brand means that gift-givers can rest assured that the recipient of their offerings know that cost was not the only consideration in the purchasing process.  

The centerpiece of the new Bailey Banks & Biddle, available both in-store and online, is “Baileys’ Design Studio,” which offers consumers over 20,000 unique diamonds and hundreds of settings, allowing shoppers to create a piece of jewelry that is customized to their exact specifications. In addition to adding over 500 new items to the site as a whole, they are also introducing new, members-only private sale boutiques in  “Baileys’ Vault” where sought-after designer brands are 40-50% off every day.

“We are proud to be the stewards of Bailey Banks & Biddle during this exciting period and we look forward to redefining what consumers should expect an exceptional jewelry shopping experience to be,” said Paul Leonard, President and CEO of Dallas-based BBB Group, Inc, which owns and operates Bailey Banks & Biddle.  “With online pricing available both online and in-store, the new Bailey Banks & Biddle provides affordable luxury on a level never before achieved.”
