LJ International Reports $1.7 Million Order From Major U.S.
Jewelry Chain
HONG KONG and LOS ANGELES, Calif., Aug. 24 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LJ
International, Inc. (LJI) (NASDAQ:JADE), one of the fastest-growing fine
jewelry companies in the world, today said it has received an order of about
$1.7 million from one of the leading retail jewelry chains in the U.S. Revenue
from the order will be realized during the second half of 2004.
The retailer, unnamed in this release for competitive reasons, is among one of
the largest jewelry retail chains in the U.S. market, with over 2,000 stores
nationwide. The announcement of this order follows an earlier announcement by
LJI that it had just begun a national rollout of products at the chain's stores
after a successful test-marketing of its products in no more than 50 of the
chain's stores.
'This significant order reflects LJI's continued success at achieving sales
growth in older, more mature markets such as North America,' said LJI Chairman
and CEO Yu Chuan Yih. 'The new products that we test-marketed in this
retailer's stores were extremely well-received, and we believe we can get a
similar response from consumers throughout the U.S. market as they are exposed
to the latest from LJI. In this way, we expect to continue gaining new U.S.
customers as well as increasing sales to existing ones.'
Global Sales Expansion Continues
LJI products are sold in major U.S. department stores as well as two- thirds of
the 40 largest jewelry chain stores. The Company also sells to the three
largest home-shopping TV networks in the U.S., as well as in Europe, Japan and
Australia. It is expanding both in the U.S. and overseas, selling to the two
largest retailers in the world as well as through a new network of its own
stores in China.
