6. Executive Summary
One of the most effective and cost-efficient ways to spread the word about a brand and find new
customers can be over social media.Most companies believe that followers on company's social media fan
pages help the company in generating business and getting more clients.
The cue given to us for the first part project was to come up with solutions which could be used to improve
the Branding of Peora in the retail space. We did a thorough research into the Branding process & how
does a brand reach the target audience & convey the same. Herein, we first tried to check the brand recall
of Peora amongst individuals who shop for jewelry at malls where Peora has its retails outlets & kiosks.
The research concluded that most individuals were unaware of the brand except for at Inorbit, Malad
where regular customers poured in. (the first store of Peora)
Based on the suggestions given by respondents we came up with solutions that could not only help
Peorabecome a popular brand in the market but also a force to reckon with in Sterling Silver jewelry
industry.
We started the second part with a small research on the practices of the direct and generic competitors of
the company and their successful strategies. We had been given a task to come up with new ideas to reach
out to as many people as possible. An overall target of having 1500 Facebook fans had been set for the
same. The project not only gives an insight into the mundane online marketing techniques but also some
unique and refreshing techniques that we implemented. This includes the campaigns implemented to
reach out to a well defined target group through Facebook, Google AdWords and Search Engine
Optimization. The implementation of these different campaigns not only helped “Peora” - the brand
increase its overall presence online but also in increasing its overall sales. Apart from internet marketing
we have also tried to analyse the online buying behavior of individuals through a marketing research
survey, the insights of which will be later implemented by the company to improvise their company
website.
Both projects give important insights into two very important dynamics of marketing – first concentrating
on making a brand out of company/product and the second on the latest marketing techniques.

7. FASHION / ARTIFICIAL JEWELRY MARKET IN INDIA
Fashion jewellery is either entirely non-precious or ingeniously mixes precious gems and metals with new
materials in styles that are anything but traditional. It’s not purist—in design or content—but is gaining
wide acceptance.
"The demand for fashion jewellery has been increasing rapidly for the past few years. With the prices of
gold rising sharply, the popularity of imitation jewellery has further increased.
The Indian fashion jewellery market has emerged as a big player (both in demand and supply) in what’s a
globally burgeoning trend. According to a study by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of
India (Assocham), the demand for imitation jewellery has gone up by over 85% in the last one year in India.
Presently worth about `8,000 crore, this market is expected to touch `15,000 crore by 2015.
Imitation jewellery is largely made of cut and uncut stones, plastic beads, cast iron, brass, nickel, American
diamonds and other attractive materials, which are sourced from domestic locations such as Jaipur,
Kolkata, Surat, and Ahmadabad. The raw material for some high-end jewellery may also be imported.
India is the second largest manufacturer of imitation jewellery after China. Indian costume jewellery has a
huge demand in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and many other Asian countries.
Fashion Jewellery is a rapidly growing market in India, especially for women from smaller towns who don’t
have access to high street labels
“Women have redefined the purpose of jewellery to a mode of self-expression,
Earlier college students and young working women made up the numbers but now women in their 30s put
down `2,000 for an artsy necklace
The metal you wear may no longer be significant in decoding your status; but how well you wear it, does.
For the twenty first century fashionistas, imitation Jewelries are the most cost efficient solution to keep
pace with the latest fashion trends. Who does not know that fashion is created just to be replaced by some
other trend in the next season!
the imitation jewelries add variety and volume to your collection without requiring you to break your
bank.
The real jewelries have somewhat limited usage in a world, where women have to spend most of their
time in the professional circuit. Because of the exorbitant price, you can not buy a lot of them to match
your every apparel. On the other hand the range of color and design of imitation jewelry is limited only by
your own imagination.

8. Threat From China
Imitation jewellery from China is flooding the imitation jewellery market in India, as imports from India’s
northern neighbour have already captured 30 per cent of the country’s domestic market, industry sources
said.
It is also hurting imitation jewellery manufacturers, as Indian traders are now importing finished goods
from China.
According to data from the ministry of commerce, India imported imitation jewellery worth about Rs 130
crore in 2011-12. During the period April-September 2012, Rs 60 crore worth of finished imitation jewellery
was imported from China. However, according to the Imitation Jewellery Manufacturers
Association (IJMA), this figure underestimates the actual level of imports, which are believed to be 10
times higher.
“Dumping from China is taking place in huge quantities. Over Rs 1,000 crore worth of imitation jewellery
was imported by India. Chinese jewellery is cheaper than that made in India, as they make it on machines
and produce it in large quantities. That’s why Indian traders now prefer to import finished imitation
jewellery from China,” said Nagendra Mehta, secretary of IJMA.
He said, “China has captured about 25-30 per cent of the Indian market and it is hurting Indian
manufacturers in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and other parts of India.”
The demand for imitation jewellery has surged by over 85 per cent in the last one year on account of the
sharp rise in gold and silver prices, according to a study by industry body Assocham. The Indian imitation
jewellery market, which is presently about Rs 8,000 crore in size, is expected to grow to Rs 15,000 crore by
2015 owing to growing demand, Assocham said in the study.
The study said high prices of gold have changed customer preferences from fine jewellery to relatively
inexpensive costume jewellery. “About 75 per cent of the shopkeepers said women prefer imitation
jewellery, as it is more affordable and can be customised,” it said.
A majority of the shopkeepers surveyed said people want attractive and affordable jewellery in line with
current fashion trends. Even if gold prices decrease, artificial jewellery will continue to attract good
demand, it said.
VinodVekaria, president of the Rajkot Imitation Jewellery Association, said, “In terms of price and
manufacturing of imitation jewellery, Rajkot can beat China, but we need to be organised. Rajkot has a
monopoly in handmade jewellery, as we have well-trained and experienced workers here and the cost of
labour is very low compared to any other place in India.”
In view of the fierce competition from Chinese imports, IJMA has taken a few steps to safeguard its
members. It has started branding India-made imitation jewellery in the last two years. IJMA plans to
organise a fashion jewellery and accessories show at Mumbai in April this year.
“Chinese manufacturers are very tech-savvy and in India this sector is still unorganised. It is most important
to promote the industry. This kind of show can help us to grow on the international front. At present
India’s share of the international fashion jewellery market is less than one per cent, while China has a 25
per cent market share,” Mehta said.
IJMA has on several occasions made representations to the Central government and asked it to do
something to discourage dumping by China, but so far the government has not responded, he added.

9. Imitation jewellery is largely made of brass, cast iron, nickel, plastic beads and stones, instead of precious
metals and gems. It does not have much resale value and prices range between Rs 100 and Rs 30,000, the
study said.
India is the second largest manufacturer of imitation jewellery after China. Indian costume jewellery has a
huge demand in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia and many Asian countries.
Road Ahead
The outlook for 2013-14 looks positive with an estimated growth of 12 to 15 percent in the overall gems
&jewellery exports in the current fiscal. The US and Japanese jewellery markets will bounce back with an
estimated 5 per cent growth while China will remain stable at 10 per cent growth, as per MrVipul Shah,
Chairman, GJEPC.
Currently, the Indian gems and jewellery market is dominated by the unorganized sector; however, the
trend is set to change in near future due to the growing acceptance of branded jewellery market.

10. ECOMMERCE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
By 2016, the Indian e-commerce market is expected to hit US$13 billion, growing from US$1.1 billion in
2012. This will be driven primarily by growth in marketplace models, making up two-thirds of the projected
figure, as opposed to the current model in which online shops own and manage their own product supply
chain.
In calendar 2012, the key deals were horizontal e-commerce players acquiring category firms. In 2013, the
emerging trend is Tier-2 players merging and raising funds to compete effectively against leaders
While there were nine follow-on investments between January and May 2013, totaling US$155 million,
over that same period there were no Series A investments.
According to Allegro Capital's report "VC investments in Indian e-commerce", over the past three years, 49
venture capital firms had invested US$853 million in 53 e-commerce companies.
http://www.zdnet.com/in/india-e-commerce-industry-faces-consolidation-7000016219/
The industry is predicted to grow at 40%, but also that there are new players foraying in the business on a
daily basis. An equal amount of investors are willing to put in their money, waiting to reap benefits when ecommerce and online trading makes in big in India. The e-commerce in India is still at a nascent stage –
surrounded by potentials and projections – but the real performance of the current market leader, Flipkart,
does have a success story to tell.
Rural India, too, isn’t untouched by the phenomenon that is online trading. Penetration of World Wide
Web and number of users is on a continuous rise, which in turn is aiding online purchases among the rural
populace. There are some statistics that claim that online buyer space has increased by eight-fold, in past
few years.
This industry does follow rules of demography, and also has its share on issue. Amazon, for instance, is the
global leader in e-commerce, but is now plagued by issues of credit cards being hacked.

16. NEED FOR BRANDING
Jewelry Branding is about associating your jewelry with emotions that are unquantifiable in monetary
terms. It’s about what customers think, feel, and tell their friends about your jewelry.
Diamonds, for instance, are never literally sold as diamonds. A crystal composed entirely of carbon,
diamonds aren’t the rarest gemstones in the world and they certainly weren’t always the most popular.
That however, changed just before the start of the Second World War. You can thank the clever
advertising agency of N.W. Ayer and Son (with generous funding from Harry Oppenheimer of De Beers
fame) for their clever branding strategy.
If you think about it, diamonds aren’t exactly something your body needs in order to function properly.
They are, for the most part, sparkly rocks. Diamonds will not save your marriage, potty train the kids, walk
the dog, cook dinner, massage your achy feet, or remind you to call your mum every weekend. Completely
useless!
And yet, this advertising agency was able to turn that around and through creative jewelry branding,
associate in people’s minds that diamonds are the ultimate expression of love, self-worth (two months’
salary, anyone?), and a basic human entitlement. All of which was crowned with what Advertising Age
Magazine awarded the best slogan of the 20th century: “A Diamond is Forever.”
Ultimately, the goal of the jewelry branding segment is to have you start thinking about what qualities
make you a unique, talented, one of a kind jeweler and how this translates into the branding and
presentation of your work to the public so that they recognize your work instantly as something they can’t
live without.
The Indian branded jewellery market is growing far more rapidly than the overall jewellery market due to
all the factors enumerated above. Branded jewellery products are a perfect fit for the opportunities
offered by the rapid development of modern retail formats like malls, lifestyle stores etc.
A number of factors are driving the growth of the branded jewellery sector which includes:
i.
strong performance of the Indian economy,
ii.
rise in the number of high net worth individuals and an increasingly youthful population with high
disposable incomes.
iii.
the changing lifestyle and culture of this section, which has a greater exposure to global fashion
and tastes (both directly and indirectly through media) etc, influence their jewellery buying
pattern.
iv.
Branded jewellery, also has an aspirational value catering to the rising desires and wants of the
upwardly mobile segments.
v.
Further, the rise of modern retail sector has also made it easier for sale and distribution of branded
jewellery.
Finally we see that the investment motive in purchase of jewellery is decreasing and design and style are
gaining importance as purchase drivers.
15
17. Branded jewellery was initially stronger in the metros and Tier I cities, but in the last few years there has
been strong growth in the Tier II and Tier III towns and cities as well.
Growth & Opportunities for Branded Jewelry:
Overall there are multiple opportunities for players in the branded jewellery segment. With the changing
demographics and the rapid development of modern retail spaces, the Tier II and Tier III towns and cities
have a great potential. Moreover, there are amazing opportunities to develop new niche brands catering
to particular tastes, segments or price points.
Indian jewellers should explore and develop new markets to reduce their dependence on the US market.
At the same time, they must also strengthen their position within the existing markets like the US with the
aim of increasing market share by moving up the value chain. One of the important moves of the Indian
players must be towards developing their own retailing and branding activities in these markets.

23. Current Situation of Peora
Peora at present is earning its revenue both through its retail outlets & online sales through its affiliates.
The current database of customers is around 10,000 of which only 15% customers shop from the company
website.
We were given the task to come up ideas to improve Peora’s brand recall at the malls where the retail
outlets were located.
The main objective of Peora at this juncture is:
1. Revamp the Company Website.
a) To increase the number of visitors & subsequently increase the number of orders placed per
day on the company website.
2. Improve the Brand Visibility & Recall of Peora for both online & as well as retail customers.
22
24. Website Revamp
Objective – Redesign the Company Website
Why is it important?
At present, most customers of Peora that shop online prefer shopping through the affiliates. The purpose
here is to drive more & more customers to purchase from Peora.in. For this we will have to ensure the
experience of shopping with Peora is more user friendly & satisfying for the customer.
Measures taken:
1. Analysis of the existing website & comparing it to the competitors / top 10 ecommerce websites to
suggest areas to be improvised upon.
a. We used Google analytics to analyse the existing website.
b. We also researched on the trends followed by competition
23
25. A. Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about a website's traffic
and traffic sources and measures conversions and sales. The product is aimed at marketers as opposed
to webmasters and technologists from which the industry of web analyticsoriginally grew. It is the most
widely used website statistics service. Google Analytics can track visitors from all referrers, including search
engines and social networks, direct visits and referring sites.
For a SME like Peora, Analytics plays a very important role as it would not only help in improvement of the
website but to also to figure out different aspects of its visitors, that is profiling them based on most
number of users from a particular state(region based), Mobile operating system , time of the day which
would help to customize its website for a particular set of users.
We at Peora, did a comparison on the user traffic on www.peora.com before we joined the company and
after we joined it.
1) Here is a comparison chart on total increase in number of users visiting the website from March 2nd
to April 30th(before we joined the company) and May 2nd to June 30th(when we were interning for
the company) which increased by 32% :

30. Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in
a search engine's "natural" or organic search results.
In general, the earlier and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will
receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image
search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical
search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the
actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their
targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to
both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search
engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic which
is known as Off Page Optimization.
Objective For SEO:
The company wanted to start with Search Engine Optimization for their website to generate traffic and for
users to buy products directly from its website instead of buying from their partner websites. We started
with analysing all competitors’ websites and then using keywords which were used often as well as
common keywords which might not have been used by the competitors. Inserting the keywords is just a
small part, they have to be regularly analysed and updated.
-
Planning :
Choosing the right set of keywords is the most important part of SEO. We visited the websites of direct
competitors (ex. Sia, BluseStone) as well as of partner websites (ex. Ebay, homeshop18, Jabong) to see
which are the recurring keywords as well as some website exclusive keywords.
We also used Google AdWords to check high competition, medium competition and low competition
keywords as its a good practice to have a combination of these 3 types of keywords.
-
Implementation:
We visited martjack’s (Peora’sPlaformers) website: www.martjack.com .
We had to follow 2 steps for changing the title keywords and meta tags.
29
31. 1) For all pages except for the product pages, the keywords has to be added via Design&Content->
Design Web Pages
2) For all the Product pages, (Peora.com has product pages like Men’s jewelry, Women’s jewlery
etc.) the keywords has to be added via Products->Category Management
30
32. We have used 2 On Page optimization techniques for the same :
1) Using Title keyword : Search engines crawler fetches the title tag.
Below, the image shows updated title of the website
2) Using Meta Tags :
Highlighted area above shows the meta tag used
Some of the keywords we have used for Title Tag for website’s Home Page :
Online silver jewelry shopping india | Shop for Men's jewelry,Women'sjewelry | Free shipping | Peora
Following are the meta tags we have used for website’s Home Page :
online jewelry shopping, silver jewelry, jewelry under rs.1000, women's jewelry, men's jewelry, free
shipping, gift vouchers, women's rings, women's bracelets, women's earrings, women's pendants, women's
mangalsutras, women's necklaces, women's pendant sets, women's pendants, men's bracelets, men's
rings, men's chains, new arrivals, best sellers, peora
31
33. Recommendations:
1. SEO – off page optimization.
Encourage respected, industry-related websites to link to your web pages
(use of backlinks from press releases, affiliates, blogs etc)
2. SEO – onpage optimization – Use of unique content as meta description for different pages.
3. Search Engine Mktg using Google adwords (Review keywords from the list)
Budget of Rs. 2500 spread across 3 days. (to be implemented along with FB campaign)
Use of medium & low competition keywords after checking their popularity on google trends.

Displayed product image should be genuine (the product they received was not similar to that
displayed – pointed out by many respondents)
Newer designs should be introduced.
Discounts & offers should be available on Peora.in (in order to divert existing customers to peora.in
as affiliates provide better offers & discounts – pointed out by many)
Cash on delivery should be introduced.
Necklaces should be introduced in a lower price range.
Reduce the delivery time
Introduce EMI
Introduce unique designs which are available only on Peora.in
Quality can be improved (the product – bracelet broke within a couple of days of purchase)
Homeshop18 has ltd ring sizes available
Price is high – should be lowered (pointed out by few); introduce products in the lower range

78. Recommendations
Following are my recommendations for Peora :
1) Corporate tie-ups for Gifting:
I personally feel there is a humongous potential in Peora because of the great quality products
which are available at a good price. Corporate gifting is 1 of the areas which would be perfect way
to branch out and reach out to more and more people.
2) Using more renowned platform for their website for better overall design and content :
The current platform peora is using for its website is very ordinary and has many basic features
missing. Peora should a adapt platform like BigCommerce, Shopify and GoMagneto.
3) Regular ad campaigns on facebook and Google to gain visibility :
To reach out to more and more people online, Peora should have a small amount dedicated to
promoting itself on these digital platforms.
4) Feedback form at all retail outlets as well as on the website :
A very basic addition at all the retail outlets would help to know what the retail customer feel and
their feedback would be invaluable.
5) Having more presence on online retail platforms :
Peora should promote itself more on the platforms it is currently preset on.
6) Coming up with new discount offers :
I personally feel there should be discount offers to attract more and more customers as discounts
directly attractpeople to buy things.
7) Having pictures of models wearing jewelry on the website as well as on Facebook page:
1 of the things that I observed was the importance of having real pictures online for users to believe
that they could use the same thing when they end up buying. This would only help if people are
able to relate with pictures which would happen if more and more pictures of real models are used.
8) Organizing exhibition for women in Gujarat and Mumbai :
The marketing team could organize different exhibitions to attract young female audience during
the weekend in cities like Mumbai, Surat and Ahemdabad.
9) Regular updates via SMS :
Current as well as new customers should be made aware the offers as well as their order
information through SMS.

79. My Learning
Just like most of the youngsters of my generation, I have regularly visited different e-commerce websites
and the techniques these websites have used to woo traffic and ultimately buyers. The e-commerce
business has literally grown in front of my eyes and has become a force to reckon with in the Indian retail
industry which is estimated to be around $ 45 billion. So there was always a natural inclination towards
knowing more about the marketing function in e-commerce. Fortunately, I was able to execute digital
marketing at the very ground level and understand the functioning and also its results.
Three of the most important things that I learnt during my internship:
1) There must be more than 1,00,000 graduates and post graduates who could have easily been in my
place. There must be at least 1 factor which should also be one’s USP which would take one ahead of
the pack. During this internship, I realized to survive in the e-commerce industry, one not only has to
have a little bit of creativity but also has to regularly come up with innovative ideas.
2) I also realized the importance of the employer/senior backing you with the ideas that you come up
with. I was fortunate that my seniors not only backed my ideas but also encouraged me to come up
with new ones no matter how outrageous they sounded. I have decided to do the same with my
juniors.
3) I was always under estimated the online jewelry industry in India thinking that Indians from smaller
towns would never buy anything online. But I was proven wrong because during our project, I
realized that most of Peora’s clients be it small or big are not only from smaller towns but they
regularly buy items online without hesitating a single bit. This was an eye opener for me.
4) Patience always pays off. When we had started our internship, we had a desire to contribute in some
way to help Peora get more sales on the online front. During our first month, Peora used to get 1
online order per day from its website. In the week before we left, Peora had started getting an
average of 3 orders daily and more and more visitors to the website.
