Well-wishers ask gifters to stop mining for perfect choices and #GiftACaratLane

CaratLane has launched a campaign to help users up their gifting game, with its range of jewellery for every occasion. Conceptualised by BBH India, the film is titled #GiftACaratlane and encourages gifters to shop CaratLane’s products online. 

 

The film traces the journey of a husband-wife duo Rohan and Sakshi, who are about to celebrate their fourth anniversary. Having been a lousy gifter, Rohan turns to his friends to help him pick the perfect gift for his wife. One of his friends then suggests that he buy something from CaratLane online, which offers a home trial, to better enable one to see the product in person and finalise. He then wears the different earrings he picks himself and asks his friends for their opinion. He hands the box to his wife, who loves the gift and thanks him for his choice. 

 

Avnish Anand, COO and co-founder, CaratLane, said, “Jewellery gifting has the highest emotional payoff yet the most difficult to get right. Finding a design that will be delivered on time and will be loved by the recipient is very stressful. The ‘worst gifter’ was born out of consumer stories, that a lot of the jewellery gifts that people receive end up in their lockers, as they are mostly gold coins or designs that they don’t like. Even some of the non-jewellery gifts leave a lot to be desired. We want to create a great experience for the gifter by crafting designs which are beautiful and affordable, while services like 24-48 hour delivery, CaratLane Live and the 15 day easy exchange, help them to pick a gift confidently.”

 

Russell Barrett, CCO and CEO, BBH and Publicis Worldwide, said, "All of us have been Rohan - 'the worst gifter' at some point of time in our life. The film is a light take on husbands and their penchant for odd gifts when all this could be easily avoided with CaratLane’s promise of high-quality, accessible jewellery. The idea has wide shoulders and can give us so many opportunities to tell compelling stories across platforms and media.”
