Where is the #labgrowndiamonds story in all this? At Lab Grown Diamonds Magazine, we analyzed the websites of top 10 Lab Grown #diamonds #jewelry sellers (On Google Search Results Page)... And here's what we found: 1. More or less, every brand seemed to be focused on the same superficial marketing aspects like: - Buyback - Exchange - Certified and - Customization 2. A few brands also spoke about how buying #labgrown can save the consumers about 90% over natural. 3. Largely, everyone focused on #jewellery around different price ranges as a category on the website. So, here are a few observations from our deep-dive of these 10 websites: 1. Where is the story? You go to any of the 10 websites, they all look sort of similar... Use a similar language... And focus on rational reasons for consumers to buy. No one is really focused on any story-telling. None of the brands were able to trigger any emotional response in me as a consumer making me want to buy the product or left me with a feeling of I want this product. So, if I had the need, and I was looking at saving money, I would go buy from any one of these brands. 2. A lot of brands who are great at telling stories have a character associated with the brand, either someone from the founding team or an ambassador that's the face of the brand for a long-run... Someone that becomes synonyms with the brand and takes the brands story-telling to the next level because people love him/her. But, none of the 10 websites on Google SERP had a distinct face associated with the brand to drive the brand narrative forward. 3. Going through the websites, it felt that as a consumer, I would just buy from one brand over the other just because I liked a product on one website over the other. There was nothing distinct that pulled us towards one over the other, again because there was no story being told by any brand when it comes to the products or the brands itself. These are just a few initial observations. We will be releasing a detailed report on the current state of Direct-to-Consumer LGD brands in India in the next few weeks after we do a deep-dive on the socials and other channels the brands use to reach out to their marketplace.
