(NEW YORK) – ASHI has announced the launch its Valentine Sweepstakes, to kickoff the Valentine Season for its retail partners. Retailers will be able to attract shoppers to their stores through various Social Media platforms. The Sweepstakes provides ASHI retailers with a unique marketing opportunity to increase their customer base, as their social media posts are liked and shared, by their customers, friends, and beyond. This style of marketing has the potential to boost the independent retailer’s brand exposure and increase sales.
ASHI is inviting all of their retail partners to be a part of this exciting and free marketing initiative. The Sweepstakes started on January 5 and will run through February 9, 2018. One winner will be randomly chosen, from the retailer’s page with the greatest number of Sweepstakes entries, on or around February 14, 2018.
The lucky customer, chosen from the winning retailer’s pool of entries in the Valentine Sweepstakes, will win the grand prize of a half carat diamond heart pendant crafted in 14K white gold, with a retail value of $1,500.

A customer of Dunkin’s Diamonds in Ohio won a Sweepstakes earlier in 2017. Julie Pyne, Vice-President of Merchandising at Dunkin’s summed up her experience this way: “ASHI’s sweepstakes program was an amazing touch to Dunkin’s Diamonds summer marketing program. The program attracted a lot of traffic to our website, social media pages and helped increase sales. It was definitely a wonderful program to be involved in. The best part about the sweepstakes? It was completely free! We generated great exposure and profits with zero investment!”
“Today’s successful jewelers expect and deserve more from their vendors than the normal,” said Rajeev Pandya, partner at ASHI. “ASHI is dedicated to going the extra mile for our retail partners. We want to support them through our Digital Marketing JewelSweep™ platform.
