How much should a jeweller spend on ads during wedding season?
Most jewellers should concentrate a larger share of their yearly ad budget into the four to eight weeks before major wedding muhurtham dates and festivals like Akshaya Tritiya…
How can a jewellery store increase walk-ins using Instagram?
Quick answer
Jewellery stores increase walk-ins from Instagram by posting reels of real pieces being tried on, showing new collections and prices, and running local ads that invite people to visit for a specific reason — a launch, a bridal consultation or an exchange offer. Make the store address, timings and WhatsApp easy to find.
Why Instagram works for jewellery
Jewellery is visual, emotional and often bought for occasions. Instagram lets buyers see how a necklace sits, how a ring catches light and what a full bridal set looks like before they step into the store. That pre-visit confidence is what turns scrolling into a showroom visit.
Content that brings people in
- Try-on reels: real hands and necklines, natural light, close-ups of detail.
- New arrivals: weekly drops create a reason to visit before pieces sell out.
- Price transparency: showing weight or an indicative price builds trust and filters serious buyers.
- Behind the craft: karigars at work, hallmarking and certification.
- Customer moments: brides and families picking pieces, shared with consent.
Local ads that drive visits
- Target people within a few kilometres of each showroom.
- Promote a reason to visit now: a collection launch, a bridal styling session, an old-gold exchange event or festival preview.
- Use store-visit or call objectives, and add your location to the ad.
- Retarget people who watched your reels or visited your profile.
Make visiting easy
- Address, map link, timings and WhatsApp in your bio and highlights.
- A “Book a bridal appointment” link for high-value buyers.
- Quick replies to DMs asking about price or availability.
Track the impact
Ask every walk-in how they found you, use a unique offer code for Instagram, and compare footfall in weeks with and without ads. Even simple counting at the counter gives you a clear picture within a month.
Posting rhythm
Three to five reels a week and daily stories during festive and wedding seasons keeps you visible when buyers are actively planning purchases.
