E-Commerce

GoldFi transitioned from a brick-and-mortar model to a purely online business, using platforms like Etsy and Shopify to reach customers directly. This switch to e-commerce allowed GoldFi to offer premium-quality gold-filled jewelry to customers at wholesale prices, tapping into a broader market beyond their physical store's reach. The straightforward, direct-to-consumer e-commerce model helps them keep overhead costs low, which was a significant challenge in their brick-and-mortar setup.
