Welcome to Diamond city. As your tour guide, I will be giving you the basic knowledge about diamonds; the process, careers, methods to promote the sales of diamonds and etc. at a diamond mine, you usually find small dirty gray stones that are so dense that they show the speed of light but you can also find rough diamonds that are cold to the touch but are drawing heat right from your fingers. Diamonds can be used as jewellery, as you may have known, but also for industrial purposes. The Diamond Industry is an enormous one and is worth over 50 billion dollars a year. One of the first methods of sales is the promotion through entertainment. Many famous companies used diamonds to promote their business. Entertainers have immortalized diamonds as a “girl’s best friend” and have been popular worldwide. Another method of sales is the creativity of diamond marketing. It’s used to encourage the sales of diamonds by mainly targeting woman. Companies associate diamonds with “endless love” and “eternal value” because diamonds are forever. Diamonds, to females, measure up to a man’s love based on the size. For instance, American Basketball Star, Kobe Bryant, spent five million dollars on a diamond ring for his wife. Some advertisements are primarily directed towards men conveying that if you can’t win her with love and affection then buy her a diamond. In the diamond industry, there are many career opportuntites available. You can be a driller. These are people who take the time and drill into the ground in order to find the small grey stones.
You can also be a equipment operator. These are people who are responsible for transporting or bogging , waste rock and soil or onto trucks or to differentparts of a mining operation. You can also be a laboratory assistant/ these are people who collect and prepare samples, carry out experiments, make measurements with scientific equipment and record

    Bling H20 Case Study

    The issues of psychological issues regarding status, attitudes, values and lifestyle are all universal between both genders hence Bling H20 would not be gender bias. In order for Bling H20 to sell, this product would mainly be sold in areas where the population is dense such as capital cities and rather than rural areas and remote towns. Targeting these major cities would be effective due to the fact that people from urban areas are more socially aware as a result of marketing and word of mouth. As previously stated, this product would be a hit in the entertainment industry where adults who go out on special occasions may buy this product due to the fact that they have an excess in funds in which they can afford to purchase such an item. This positioning of this product has allowed for consumers to be conscious that this product has a reputation which has started from the stars of Hollywood and now global.…

    O(pportunities) – Jewelry designed for a specific type of woman can definitely create a niche market since the jewelry industry in the United States is so huge. It sets them apart from most U.S. sellers and makes their product truly unique. Setting it at a lower price point also makes it more attractive to initial buyers, which when they establish brand loyalty, they can raise their price to gain more revenue in the long-run and make up for the high initial cost of exporting. Also, given that they offer their jewelry to mostly college-aged women, they can implement a more specific marketing initiative, which could include hiring sales reps on the thousands of college campuses throughout the U.S., creating significant awareness.…

    In this Cosmopolitan magazine ad for Tacori jewelry, there is a silver honey comb stick with rich, golden brown honey on the end of it. The honey looks like it is about to drip off of the stick, making the honey look very indulgent. On the handle of the honey stirrer are three engagement rings. The bottom one is a wedding band with diamonds around the whole band. The middle ring and the top ring are the same ring just with different views. The middle ring is the top view and the top ring is the side view. The ring has one big rounded square diamond in the middle and little diamonds around it and on the band four more diamonds on each side. From the ad, the marketing idea…

These gems can be transparent, truculent white, yellow, green, blue, or brown.

    The Tacori Company chose a good magazine to advertise their product. Women appreciate and desire diamonds. The ad also covers the bases of being a ‘good ad’. The product stands out so the consumer knows what the company stands for and the company’s name is bold so the consumer knows where the product is coming from. This ad displays the product showing a high status since it is located on the queen piece. It also makes the expensive price shown but not in a…

    For thousands of years, diamonds have been highly regarded by everyone from kings and queens to ordinary people. Diamonds are a symbol for wealth, elegance, love, and power. Centuries ago, they were also a symbol of courage, invincibility and strength. What is less commonly known is that these stones are also a symbol of terror and death. Conflicts arise from the mining of these gems; many people have died and many are perhaps still dying because of the mining of these precious stones.…

    Marketing to Woman

    Women are the world’s most powerful consumers. They are the big spenders, whether you’re talking about households, corporate purchasing, or small businesses. Would you believe that until the first edition of this book was published, not a single book addressed the nuts-and-bolts specifics of how to market to persons of the female persuasion? Why is that, when women make up just over half of the population and, more important, control well over half of the spending? It’s time for a book that presents the business case, identifies the operating insights, and details specific marketing tactics for the consumer group marketers need most – women. This is that book! What’s the first rule of marketing? Understand your market. What’s the second rule? Understand your consumer. What Makes Women a Worthwhile Market? Packaged goods companies and retailers have long recognized that women form the core of their market. However, until very recently, the big-ticket industries – automotive, financial services, computers, consumer electronics, home improvements, and travel for example – appear to have overlooked female customers almost entirely. Despite the fact that women represent a significant percentage of the buyers in most of these categories – usually 40 to 60 percent – we still see almost exclusively male-targeted advertising. Somebody’s not watching the “buy-o-meter” carefully enough. By not understanding their markets, these companies are leaving money on the table. What is worse – and makes this missed opportunity a devastating sales drain – is the multiplier effect each female consumer sets into motion. What women buy, women “sell”; when they’re pleased with products and services, they talk about them to others – men and women alike. The resulting word of mouth is the most powerful marketing tool you…
