The Jewelry business can be represented as a unique market. In the marketing world, jewelry businesses are not based on catering to people’s needs or comfort. Instead, selling jewelry is more about promoting certain emotions by using symbolism that can be traced to hundreds of years ago traditions. It is about igniting a feeling, and that is where a good jewelry marketing strategy can make a difference.
Jewelry has a dynamic industry that won’t stop growing. Considering sales and consumers of jewelry worldwide, there are different types of jewelry aimed at different types of audiences. With all that, creating a marketing strategy that focuses on a specific target audience is important.
Speaking of the jewelry industry, Nafeese Alavee, the Iranian-Italian renowned gemologist and jewelry designer, worked in the field for many years. She mastered her trade in Italy and started to create handmade jewelry to promote love and passion worldwide but mostly in Dubai, Tehran, and the Middle East. Since her talent was adored there and the business was rapidly expanding, she needed Zigma8, leading advertising and branding agency in the Middle East, to foster and mature the brand’s message and mission in order to level up her marketing game and update her brand identity to cater to the expanding audience scope.
Nafeese Alavee stated that her brand needs to shape a compelling and clear identity to accurately reflect every piece’s artistry. When it comes to luxurious jewelry like hers, buyers’ intentions and the story behind the jewelry are integrated and undeniable. So, she asked us to create a unified brand image that genuinely signifies its unique style and chic nature.
Our marketing strategies in Zigma8 treat selling jewelry like art. There definitely is an innate talent for creating it, but it will be challenging to get a business ahead and dominate the market without the right skills and strategies. By designing and implementing this wonderful advertising campaign in Dubai, we tried to boost Nafeese Alaves’s business and target the right consumers that will support her in the long run.
Advertising in Dubai for a Luxury Jewelry Brand
NA jewelry was finalized by having the designer’s signature, which is a mixture of outwardly luxurious reflecting the Italian background packed in a glorious Middle Eastern feeling deep down. But this subtle and seductive Middle Eastern charm was not seen in any packaging, presentation, or communication process. Therefore, our first marketing attempt at Zigma8 was to retouch the brand’s logo.
Without a doubt, mostly a brand is centered around its name. When the name is combined with the brand’s signature, logotype becomes an important type of representation. So, our branding team came up with the first solution to add the representation of luxury and Middle Eastern vibe to the brand’s logotype.
To that extent, Nafeese Alavee’s advertising and marketing project in Dubai continued by combining the concepts of oriental beams, earthly love, attention, and bespoke fascination into a solid and clear-cut identity for the handmade jewelry business in Dubai. Our designers tried their best to manifest the soul of her artistic magnetic works and captivate the audience’s desire at first glance.
For the final logo design, we were inspired by six interconnected features, including the initials of the designer N and A (Nafeese Alavee), the chignon curl symbol of charisma and power, and delicacy, simple circle shape representing infinity and attention, the Persian Mandala having the tempting structure of so-called oriental beams and Middle Eastern vibes, and last but not least, the Persian Chalipa offering earthly love, feminine charm, and unity.
Creating a Luxury Brand Identity that Appeals to Audiences in Dubai
As a 360° creative communications agency, the Zigma8 branding team was utterly familiar with the Middle Eastern motifs. For that, we were able to successfully extrapolate the soul of Nafeese Alavee’s style by portraying its innate allure. Specifically speaking, the brand identity we created for the NA jewelry brand weaved the ancient abstract depiction of the sun between the reflection of the tombs of Persian kings. We aimed for grandeur and charm to be reflected in the soul of Nafeese Alavee’s brand.
Additionally, emotions are the main factor behind a successful marketing campaign in Dubai. To emotionally involve the consumers is the truth for the jewelry business. It is a fact that purchasing jewelry is an emotional act instead of a purposeful one, and this is why our marketing campaign in Dubai needed to create emotional responses in customers. For that, we come up with the perfect slogan for the brand to accompany the carefully-crafted brand personality. By mixing and matching the highlighted terms such as fascination, royalty, romanticism, and sense of bespoke, we built a catchy and compelling slogan of “Bespoke Fascination.”
We were empowered and inspired by the trust and believed she invested in us through the whole project. Zigma8 delivered a successful marketing campaign alongside a world-class advertising campaign in Dubai, carving the NA in jewelry lovers’ hearts and art seekers’ minds worldwide. We introduced her to the best ways in the business to captivate her audience, charm them and feed them what they appreciate and crave. This exclusive brand identity helped her exude the distinct style she owns and encapsulate the level of luxury she offers.
