New Ambassador perfect fit for ‘dare to be different’ business model of India’s first online jewellery marketplace

Mumbai, April 18, 2017: www.jewelsouk.com, India’s first and the world’s largest online marketplace for jewellery announced Bollywood Actor Sunny Leone as its new brand ambassador and unveiled its new TVC. Launched in 2015, www.jewelsouk.com now has an average of 10,000 unique daily visitors and offers more than 50 brands and over a million designs and choices to the consumer to buy jewellery including Fine Diamond Jewellery, Bridal Jewellery, Gold Jewellery, Gold & Silver Bullion and Coins, Accessories and International Branded Watches.

www.jewelsouk.com’s latest TVC, featuring its new brand ambassador Sunny Leone and directed by the Bollywood Celebrity Director Siddharth Anand, focuses on the myriad advantages that the online jewellery marketplace brand offers for jewellery consumers in India at large. Contrasting, in a simple but effective manner, the limitations that shoppers faced when buying jewellery at a conventional retail store with the convenience of online shopping, the TVC shows an initially disappointed Sunny Leone, eventually realising that it is best to buy jewellery from the online marketplace Jewelsouk.com.

It’s a very simple campaign with a clear-cut message. Sunny Leone said about the film “In the casual-glam film, I’m searching for jewellery that looks great on me; not necessarily a special occasion shopping, but the type that any woman needs today for everyday wear. I know what I want, and I finally find it on Jewelsouk.com and that too at a great price. The tag line of the film is apt. Ask More. Get More. Save More.”

More than 50 top jewellery and accessory brands of India including most of the leading names among India’s top jewellery brands are already present on Jewelsouk.com. These include diamond jewellery brands such as Nakshatra, Gili, Asmi, Nirvana, etc and gold jewellery brands like Maya Gold, Shuddhi and others. It also has unique offerings like jewellery crafted with the new age precious metal Lumineux Uno that is an amalgamation of gold, silver, palladium and platinum.

Commenting on the success of www.jewelsouk.com and the new Brand Ambassador, Saurav Bhattacharya, President, Jewelsouk.com says, “Today’s millennial online jewellery shopper is difficult to please because her standards are high, she is willing to explore more and continue the search till she finds just what she wants. www.jewlsouk.com is the answer to this need of a multi-brand and multi-category jewellery market place with over a million pieces of jewellery for the consumers to choose from and has revolutionized the way jewellery is bought online. Our platform straddles across categories of solitaires, diamond jewellery, gold jewellery, coins, religious figurines and international branded watches and so there is more than enough choice for every consumer and for her every need sate”.

He adds, “www.jewelsouk.com’s new brand campaign that features a TVC with Bollywood Actress Sunny Leone, the right fit for the platform as she is multifaceted with many different aspects to her persona, in a sense, she is ‘fearless’, willing to do something new and succeed in it too”. Commenting on the future plans, Mr. Bhattacharya says, “Currently in its pilot stage, www.jewelsouk.com aims to provide consumers with an omnipresence ‘brick and click’ option. People can buy their branded jewellery online and go to the offline outlet of the brand to inspect and verify their purchase.

They can choose the offline store location where the product should be delivered and then confirm their purchase after satisfying themselves completely”.

Sunny Leone who is recognised as one of the most searched personalities on the internet, apart from her Bollywood fame says, “I am very happy to be associated with ww.jewelsouk.com catering to the jewellery shopping needs of every modern women. Anytime shopping, with assured quality, wider choice and great savings – that’s exactly what we need. I love the jewellery that Jewelsouk.com has to offer.

UserTesting Highlights How Inflation Is Squeezing Indian Consumers, 75 Percent Join The Gig Economy To Meet Increased Cost Of Living

Times of Startups Staff

On an average, 3 out of 5 Indians are witnessing the highest impact of inflation on entertainment and petrol expenditures
In order to save money, 65 percent of Indians are now buying their necessary products from generic brands
View consumer responses to the impact of inflation

India, July 13, 2022: UserTesting (NYSE: USER), a leader in video-based human insight, conducted a survey to understand the effects of the rising inflation on Indians’ spending habits and personal finances. As per the survey findings, over 95 percent of Indians reported that growing inflation is directly impacting their daily and monthly expenditure.

A host of cost pressures such as rising commodity prices, global supply disruptions, and more has been translated to end consumers in the form of elevated prices for goods and services across the board. Therefore, to meet basic needs, Indians are cutting back on their everyday expenses to meet their basic needs. About 60 percent of Indian respondents indicated that they are cutting back on entertainment and leisure activities such as movies, eating out, staycations, etc. Unsurprisingly, the respondents also mentioned minimizing personal car travel and opting for public transport to reduce their expenditure on petrol.

Mounting prices of essential commodities

Indians are facing the brunt of inflation majorly on petrol prices, as mentioned by 100 percent of the respondents during the survey. With essential grocery items such as bread witnessing a sharp rise in prices, 90 percent of the respondents have reported that it is becoming a burden to keep up with the inflation storm. Adding to the trouble, some respondents mentioned not having received any salary appraisals in the past year, leading to a reduction in personal savings for many.

Gig economy takes center stage amidst rising inflation

As inflation heats up, former motivations for side hustles, such as paying off debt and saving, have been replaced by a more pressing need: making ends meet. According to the survey, 75 percent of Indian respondents revealed that they are resorting to secondary sources of income to keep up with the increased cost of living. The popular options that were mentioned included freelancing and trading among other side gigs.

Indians replace their go-to shops: from big brands to local brands

Interestingly, the survey found that on average, 65 percent of Indians are buying from generic/local brands instead of name brands so as to save money. Stating that most generic brands are now offering the same quality of a product at a cheaper price, more than half of the Indians have shifted their focus on local brands, especially for purchases such as clothes and grocery items that are now being bought from local kirana shops.
