Discover How Jet Gems Witnessed a Surge in Revenues using Interakt

There is something about the glitz and the rawness of precious stones and metals that has one enchanted, isn’t there? Take a walk down memory lane and there may be one or more core memories associated with jewellery; for instance, the sound of an anklet or the shine of a necklace.

Jet Gems, is an exclusive jewellery atelier curating some of the most exquisite jewellery pieces that have come out of India. Established in 1981, under the tutelage of Mr.Pradeep Jethani, Jet Gems has designed jewellery for a range of clients, from celebrities, to the elite, to members of the film and television industry.

The highlight that makes Jet Gems stand apart is their eye for detail, not just on their handcrafted masterpieces but also during the process of customization until the very end. From selecting your precious stones to finalising the cut and design on your creation, Jet Gems guides you seamlessly. Their fine and bespoke jewellery has rightly earned them the title of “Bollywood’s favourite jeweller”. Their masterpieces have adorned stars like Madhuri Dixit, Urmila Matondkar, Karisma Kapoor and Nora Fatehi to name a few.

“Jewellery as you know, is a very touch-and-feel business and we were very late to the online space. I would say that covid had a lot to do with it, during the lockdown we needed a way to get to our customers to see our products, so we went online.” says Mohit Jethani.

Challenges faced by the brand

“We were not really a start-up per se but were a start-up in the online space. And people do not want to make high-value purchases right off the website. So, the first thing they want to do is communicate with our team. They want to get in touch on WhatsApp and find out more about the product” claims Mohit Jethani.

Due to the nature of business, it isn’t unusual to see people wanting to know more about the product because of the high value associated with it. It is after all an investment. Primarily, their customers were communicating through WhatsApp and one of the challenges that Jet Gems faced was that the sales teams were stationed in different parts of the country and were finding it difficult to respond to customer queries in a timely manner. This led to a demand for a multi-agent solution that could respond to clients proactively.

Along with the communication challenge, another challenge that the brand faced was broadcasting messages to its clients, informing them about the latest launches, collection, offers and promotions. The basic WhatsApp solution that they were on was incapable of delivering that effectively. And, this is where Interakt steps in.
