What to watch

  • Reported sales value, average transaction value and lead-capture rate from the 2,000-plus visitors.
  • Whether De Beers or INDRA announces a repeat activation, additional retail partners or rollout into new markets.
  • Conversion and traffic benchmarks versus ordinary weekend store performance.
  • Evidence of post-event appointments, delayed purchases or repeat visits within 90 days.
  • Retailer adoption of friendship, self-purchase and non-bridal natural-diamond merchandising.
  • Competitive lab-grown diamond promotions or widening price gaps that dilute natural-diamond campaign conversion.
  • Retarget campaign visitors and captured leads within 7-14 days with appointment, gifting and financing offers.
  • Measure conversion through to transaction value, average selling price, diamond category mix and 30/60/90-day repeat purchase—not only in-store traffic.
  • Package the campaign playbook for key gifting dates, with localized social content, store events and retailer co-op media.
  • Prioritize participating stores that outperformed the 15% conversion benchmark for expanded inventory support and CRM investment.
  • Test friendship-gifting price points and natural-diamond education against comparable lab-grown and non-diamond alternatives.
