They briefed the Federation members about the new features of IIJS Signature 2023.
In Dubai, a promotional campaign was held on 8th November, on the sidelines of the International Gem & Jewellery Show (IGJS Dubai), a show specially curated by GJEPC only for international buyers. The roadshow in Dubai was attended by 350+ buyers from 25+ countries.
The GJEPC team also held an international door-to-door campaign in Malaysia. The campaign got a boost when Dato. Mr. Abdul Razak & Mr. Ibrahim of Little India Jewellers – Kopatha Group joined the Council team to invite Malaysian jewellers to visit the forthcoming show in Mumbai in January 2023.
Speaking about the new and improved aspects of IIJS Signature 2023, Mr. Nirav Bhansali, Convener, National Exhibitions, GJEPC said, “IIJS Signature is perfectly timed to replenish inventory for the upcoming jewellery-driving festivals.”
