My Store<br />
The Diamond Shop<br />
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND with Jemma Smith, marketing manager • SPACE COMPLETED May 2018<br />
Who is the target market?<br />
The Diamond Shop’s target market varies greatly,<br />
from young women approaching milestones<br />
such as birthdays or graduation, to older couples<br />
looking for meaningful anniversary gifts for their<br />
significant other.<br />
The store interior is modern and minimal, which<br />
was influenced by our younger customers.<br />
However, it is also comfortable and welcoming;<br />
like stepping into someone’s home, you can<br />
happily stay for an extended visit and share a<br />
coffee or tea with us in our lounge area. This<br />
aspect greatly appeals to our customers who<br />
belong to older generations.<br />
Which features encourage sales?<br />
The minimal colour palette complements our<br />
products yet is subtle enough to truly let the<br />
jewellery and diamonds shine.<br />
The amount of space and lack of clutter allows<br />
the customer to really focus on the jewellery.<br />
The home-like feel also allows visitors to feel<br />
welcome and special.<br />
Meanwhile, the lounge area is a place where we<br />
can comfortably have in-depth conversations and<br />
gain our customers’ trust, which often progresses<br />
into a friendship.<br />
What is the store design’s ‘wow factor’?<br />
The striking light designs throughout the<br />
showroom capture many visitors’ attention.<br />
Their modern and minimal design represents<br />
The Diamond Shop conceptually, and they<br />
are the perfect cherry on the cake of our<br />
stunning space.<br />
