Comprehensive Jewelry Service Platform Function Requirements Research

Company overview

Zhenxin Technology is a company deeply rooted in the jewelry industry and committed to internet-based technological innovation. It is controlled by the China Ministry of Natural Resources' Jewelry and Gemstone Products Management Center (National Jewelry and Gemstone Quality Supervision and Inspection Center). The company primarily operates online services including customized jewelry and gemstone certification, online jewelry appraisal, dissemination of industry knowledge, and integration of industry resources. Zhenxin Technology aims to provide comprehensive services to consumers and the jewelry industry through technological innovation and internet thinking, particularly excelling in jewelry appraisal, popularization of professional knowledge, and resource integration—gradually establishing itself as a leading technology-driven platform in the sector.

Research background

Online operations in the jewelry industry have seen rapid growth in recent years, especially driven by various mobile apps and e-commerce platforms that have enhanced product sales and consumer engagement. However, there currently exists a lack of a comprehensive, trustworthy jewelry service platform established by an official authority. As a company under the control of the National Jewelry and Gemstone Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, Zhenxin Technology has the opportunity to leverage its professional expertise and market access to build an integrated jewelry service platform featuring functions such as appraisal, training, evaluation, second-hand trading, and product guidance. Operating in a neutral third-party capacity, the platform can directly engage consumers, offering credibility and high-quality service. To validate the market demand and feasibility of such a platform, Zhenxin Technology has initiated consumer research to understand the actual needs and potential market size for various service functions.

Research scope

In June 2020, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Zhenxin Technology to conduct consumer research in key domestic jewelry sales markets. The research consisted of two phases: the first phase involved one-on-one in-depth interviews to explore consumers' service needs across different usage scenarios, establishing a three-level service demand classification system covering specific requirements and expectations in areas such as jewelry appraisal, second-hand trading, and professional training; the second phase involved large-scale, nationwide quantitative surveys to refine consumer segments and assess differences in needs among various consumer groups, enabling Zhenxin Technology to implement targeted marketing strategies in future promotions. Key focus areas included consumers' awareness and demand for certification documents, the need for professional training, demand for appraisal and second-hand trading platforms, as well as guidance services and support in jewelry purchasing decisions. Based on these data, Zhenxin Technology will be able to clearly identify market demand and development directions for each service module.

Expected outcomes

The findings of this research will provide Zhenxin Technology with a market demand assessment for the various functional modules of its envisioned comprehensive jewelry service platform—including appraisal, training, evaluation, second-hand trading, guidance, and certification services. By precisely analyzing consumers' real needs across different scenarios, CEIDEA Research will help Zhenxin Technology determine the market acceptance and potential user base for its service functions, and provide data support for platform function planning and business direction adjustments. The research results will also offer Zhenxin Technology strategic guidance on accurately segmenting consumer groups for marketing, enabling more precise market positioning in future promotions. Ultimately, the report will provide comprehensive optimization recommendations across product design, platform architecture, user experience, and market strategy, ensuring the platform meets actual consumer needs and achieves commercial success.
