Caratlane Valentine’s jewellery

For Caratlane, Valentine’s Day is about targeting young customers and those who are young at heart adults. The brand has introduced their Valentine’s Day jewellery which starts from Rs 5,000. Talking about the challenges which they face during any occasion-led event, Sagar V, Retail Head, Caratlane said, “Today there are a lot of categories like gadgets, which offer attractive discounts during these events. They may not be in direct competition to the jewellers, but they have occupied a huge chunk of our consumer’s mind space. But am very sure that since Valentine is mostly celebrated by young customers, so in the jewellery segment. we will be the first choice.”

Orra has introduced its entry-level Valentine’s Day collection-Expressions of love, which starts from Rs 14,999. Sonali Rao, General Manager, Marketing, Orra elaborates, “The concept of love has more evolved today and hence it has enabled us to go beyond the spectrum. I feel, even though we are talking about millennials, there is a certain maturity when it comes to their buying behaviour pattern. Our effort is to thus make sure that there is enough choice across the spectrum. Valentine’s Day, for example, we are not restricting it to expressions of love collections, there is Orra Platinum couples and the evergreen Orra Solitaires. We tell the audience that you can make a choice, whether it is at the entry-level or going up the value chain. Looking at it holistically, is something which we have always believed in and I think it works well for us because consumers appreciate it, and yes we do see a spike in sales.”

It is really interesting to see how this category has evolved, not only in terms of the marketing strategy but also in their product offerings, keeping in mind that a consumer can belong to any age group!
