NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Oct. 5, 2016 – Goldstur, developer of the worlds first and only automated kiosk for converting old or unwanted jewelry into cash or store gift cards, received a prestigious IMPACT Award for “Innovation in Technology and Industry Disruption” at the Internet Marketing Associations annual awards celebration held Sept. 20, 2016, at the Aria Convention Center in Las Vegas.
“The IMPACT Awards exemplify best-in-class creativity, expertise and results achieved by the top practitioners of Internet marketing across every business segment as well as non-profits, government and education,” said IMA Chairman Sinan Kanatsiz. “IMA is a unique resource for top professionals. Our fundamental goal is to build the leadership that will continue to drive this dynamic industry.”
With Goldstur kiosks, consumers are not required to part with their jewelry as in a cash-for-gold mail order service. And there are no middlemen or haggling to deal with as may be encountered in pawn shops or store-front gold buying operations.
The process takes just two minutes and a small $2.00 appraisal fee, with offers based on commodities market prices that are updated every hour. Consumers can choose from a cash receipt or store gift card as payout. If the consumer decides not to accept the bid as shown on the kiosk screen, they can simply decline the offer and retrieve their jewelry.
“It is very gratifying to be honored by such a distinguished organization of technology leaders,” said Goldstur COO Kevin Miller. “And were proud of the innovation and transformation we have been able to bring to a process that was often intimidating and time consuming for consumers.”
The IMPACT16 event also offered an extraordinary array of high-impact keynote presentations, breakout sessions and panels on topics across the spectrum of Internet marketing, Start-up Battlefield 3, Women Leaders Group and a reception at the brand-new Skyfall Lounge at the Delano.
The Internet Marketing Association is one of the fastest growing professional organizations in the world and encompasses a wide range of educated professionals in sales, marketing, business ownership, programming, creative development and related fields.
