In the world of luxury and elegance, the diamond industry stands as nature’s wonder and human craftsmanship. India competes with the world by implementing the latest technology, superior quality, and a commitment to promote the business by taking help from the latest digital marketing tools, besides participating in exhibitions.
This is the success story of Surat, an India-based diamond jewelry and diamond watches manufacturer, along with loose diamonds, who have achieved great success in promoting their range of products within a short period by applying a less-known digital marketing strategy the business aggressively through professional product postings and designing impactful minisites. Through this digital marketing medium, they are creating a tremendous impact in their main targeted countries like the USA, Canada, UK, etc.
We started with simple Alibaba posting and minisite design. When they received remarkable inquiries and business opportunities, they expanded the scope of promotion with website design using the latest technology, and website promotion with Google Shopping ads. But now, we would like to share the short journey that created a tremendous business opportunity, which is hard to believe, as the client never anticipated such a fast response by traveling this unknown path. This path is completely dominated by Chinese companies.
Challenges
Our client discussed a few challenges their business was facing, that were stopping them from growing at a rapid pace. Our client has to have a respectable name in the market with a fixed customer base which has not grown for a few years. The client was interested in creating fresh opportunities for overseas clients, especially in the USA. They shared the following challenges of their business and industries.
1. Intense competition from the Chinese market
The rise of the Chinese diamond jewelry market has created challenges for manufacturers worldwide – while China is emerging as a major player in the loose diamond & jewelry market. Manufacturers from other parts of the world face a heightened level of competition. Understanding the dynamics of the market our client was seeking to establish a global presence in an untapped market and remain competitive.
2. High cost of exhibitions and trade shows in terms of money and time
Participating in prestigious exhibitions or trade shows is a common method for diamond jewelry manufacturers to showcase their craftsmanship. However, such events often come with exorbitant costs, including booth rental, marketing production, and travel expenses. Additionally, you cannot display your unique craftsmanship due to the fear of replication. Even after the exhibition is over, constant follow-up is required, and competitive pricing must be offered since prospective buyers have visited the exhibition and are aware of the full competition.
3. Lack of knowledge about proper digital marketing channels
The diamond industry of India, traditionally reliant on personal relationships and word of mouth, has been slow to adopt aggressive digital marketing. Our client had some idea about this but was unsure about which strategy and channel would work for generating business. They had taken an Alibaba Gold Supplier membership but were not aware of promotion techniques and how to compete with Chinese competitors on a global level.
After a detailed discussion with our client and understanding their challenges and objectives, we convinced them to start with the Alibaba promotion. Once we saw some silver lining, we advised them to immediately adopt other digital marketing channels.
Solution
Alibaba Minisite Design:
Diamond is a high-value product where professional presentation and trust-building are crucial. Recognizing that most Chinese companies have well-designed customized minisites, we decided to create an outstanding minisite for showcasing our client’s company brief, strengths, products, features, and commitment to customer services. The minisite played a pivotal role in helping our client build a brand image in line with current trends among their competitors. We’ve observed that designing a minisite not only establishes a brand but also conveys trust and commitment in business. A professionally presented and well-structured minisite captures the buyer’s attention and keeps them engaged with the products.
Alibaba Product Posting & Ranking Optimization:
Professional product posting is essential for generating leads. Without a thorough understanding of the business, applications, and highlighted services, product postings may not be effective. We’ve also noted the success of Chinese companies on the Alibaba platform, attributing it to extensive product posting, creating tremendous opportunities. To match this, we created a customized layout for Alibaba product postings, presenting products in detail with utmost care and in the most presentable manner. Starting with a strategic decision to post and optimize 500 products, our goal was to approach the posting volume of Chinese companies, many of which have posted over 1,000 products and achieved high rankings.
As we began posting and optimizing rankings, we conveyed to the client that successful Alibaba business equates to more product posting and ranking optimization. This strategy played a crucial role in our client’s quick success.
