Signet (SIG) to generate new revenue stream through Rocksbox acquisition

For the first quarter of 2022, Signet expects total revenue to be $1.42-1.46 billion

Signet Jewelers Limited (NYSE: SIG) has acquired jewelry rental subscription platform Rocksbox for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition is expected to help drive growth in the services category. Rocksbox, which allows monthly members to rent and swap designer jewelry pieces, has a strong foothold in online services and through this acquisition Signet plans to tap into a whole new customer base, diversify its revenues and expand its capabilities in connected commerce.

Strategy

Rocksbox offers jewelry to customers at an affordable price and in a sustainable way as items are re-used throughout the marketplace. The acquisition is expected to help Signet woo self-purchasing women customers, a segment where it is currently under-developed, as well as expand its market share.
