How Jewelers of America Positioned Itself in Today's Marketplace with a Three-Phase Research Plan

How can the jewelry industry better position itself in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace? The fine jewelry industry was beginning to see a plateau in sales and wanted to improve growth.  

Jewelers of America is a non-profit trade association that was founded in 1906 by jewelers for jewelers, with a desire to advance the professionalism and ethics of the jewelry industry. Today, the luxury brand association aims to improve consumer confidence through advocacy in public, government, and industry affairs, and also consumer marketing and public relations efforts. 

Jewelers of America approached Provoke Insights to conduct market research to get buy-in from association members, understand the members’ target audience, and guide the strategic development of a national advertising campaign.

Developing a Marketing Strategy for an Exercise Franchise

A chain of health clubs in the United States with over 100 locations in 14 states approached Provoke Insights to consult on the brand’s marketing strategy.

The gym’s previous advertising campaign solely focused on a price play, leaving little to no differentiation between the brand and its competitors; Planet Fitness, Blink, and Crunch. As a result, the health club commissioned an advertising agency to create a new 360-degree marketing campaign; the goal was to increase awareness and build value as well as differentiation. The agency wanted to move beyond price and make distinctions that would allow it to stand out in the saturated fitness market. However, moving beyond a price play proved difficult as several stakeholders within the company were not aligned regarding other brand differentiators. There were several stakeholders with contrasting views, and the advertising agency had difficulty getting them into the same room. Garnering a consensus among them proved to be a challenging, but critical task. The agency on-boarded Provoke Insights to collaborate and aid in aligning the stakeholders and overall brand value.
