Consumers can click on the member\u2019s badge, which then takes them to an online source that goes into further detail about why they have earned that badge, the methods they took to achieve it, and how they are working to maintain their AGS credentials.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a titleholder, our members have pledged to uphold the AGS mission of maintaining and promoting strong business ethics, continuing education, and protecting the consumer,\u201d said Katherine Bodoh, RJ, CEO of the American Gem Society and AGS Laboratories. \u201cIn their stores, our members proudly display their certificates, but they cannot do that online or in emails. Digital badging acts as that virtual wall behind their desk or counter where they can proudly display their hard-earned certificates.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bodoh adds, \u201cIt\u2019s one more way we can let consumers know about the importance of shopping with an AGS jeweler, and is a point of differentiation for the jeweler.\u201d<\/p>\n
