RAPAPORT... De Beers and the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion
Council (GJEPC) unveiled a generic marketing
campaign to promote diamonds and diamond jewelry in India.
The program will launch October 10 ahead of the key holiday
selling season, targeting women from 25 to 35 with a “hectic lifestyle and craving
for romance and pampering,” the GJEPC said. It will initially run for three
months on television, print and digital media, peaking during upcoming holidays
including Dusshera, Dhanteras, Diwali, Karwa Chauth and Christmas.
The marketing push will also feature a dedicated website for
consumers to access retailers’ names, addresses and contact numbers.
“Two to three years” of difficult market conditions due to
“other competitive products” and a global economic slowdown have necessitated a
marketing campaign, according to the GJEPC.
“Through this campaign, we expect to bring back the
excitement back to the category,” said Praveenshankar Pandya, chairman of the Indian
trade body.
