PASO ROBLES, Calif. -- The Jewelry Consumer Opinion Council (JCOC), a division of MVI Marketing Ltd, has just published their annual JCOC Year-in-Review. A complete analysis of consumer research from 2006 JCOC omnibus studies is the foundation for the JCOC Year-in-Review. "This is the most far-reaching group of topics we have assembled to date," stated Elizabeth Chatelain, president of MVI Marketing Ltd., who goes on to say, "every major topic of interest for the fine jewelry and watch industries has been covered."

This report was designed to be of maximum help to retailers and manufacturers in the U.S. and abroad to better understand their business and how the North American consumers will affect it.

In the area of seasonal gift-giving, consumer confidence trends and jewelry buying habits, a few of the major topics covered include: Valentine's, Mother's and Father's Days, Graduation, and December Holidays. Where the consumer shops, how much they planned on spending and how much they actually spent are reviewed and the findings have already been used by retailers and manufacturers who are JCOC annual subscribers and others who have purchased JCOC studies throughout the year.

Hot industry topics such as Internet sales, Men's Market, watches being replaced by digital devices, Blood Diamonds and Fair Trade, were the subject of many studies conducted in 2006 and are analyzed in the 2006 JCOC Year-in-Review. Even topics to 'watch for' such as ethnic jewelry are covered.
