A carousel for families
'What to ask before buying bridal gold in Sarafa Bazaar' — five slides on weight, making charges, receipts, buy-back terms and alterations. Useful rather than salesy, and it shows the shop has nothing to hide.
Instagram marketing
We give Sarafa Bazaar jewellers and Moti Bazaar bridal shops an Instagram account families can browse before the trip into Raja Bazaar: close-ups that show real workmanship, highlights grouped by bridal sets, everyday gold and formal wear, and DM replies that move serious buyers to an appointment or a WhatsApp call.
On the Starter package, PKR 15,000 per month. Ad spend, if you run ads, is separate.
Why it fits
Buying wedding jewellery or a bridal outfit is a family decision made over weeks, and it starts on a phone. Families shortlist designs on Instagram, compare Rawalpindi against Islamabad's jewellers and boutiques, and only then head to Raja Bazaar to see the pieces in person. A Sarafa shop with no Instagram, or only blurred pictures, never reaches that shortlist however skilled its karigars are. Gold also carries a trust barrier — buyers worry about purity and making charges — so an account that explains the workmanship and shows the shop openly is what earns the visit.
The work
Examples
Illustrative starting points, not results. The audit decides the real first move.

A Reel hook
Hands lifting a kundan set out of a velvet box, turning it slowly in daylight. On-screen text: 'Sarafa Bazaar, Raja Bazaar — yeh set hamare karigar ne banaya.'
Yes, if they want younger families. Wedding jewellery is shortlisted on Instagram before anyone visits Sarafa Bazaar, and families compare Rawalpindi shops with Islamabad jewellers on the same screen. Clear photos of your own work and an easy way to book a visit put a Raja Bazaar shop on that list.
Usually not exact prices, because the gold rate moves daily. Most jewellers explain that price depends on weight and the day's rate, then invite buyers to message. What you should show openly is how making charges and buy-back work, because that is exactly where a buyer's doubts sit.
Pitfalls
The area
Raja Bazaar is the old city's wholesale engine — narrow lanes off Fowara Chowk where cloth, gold and crockery move by the carton, not the piece. Moti Bazaar dresses a large share of the twin cities' brides. Business peaks in the ten days before Eid and goes flat through the monsoon.

Starter
PKR 15,000per month
A creator or small shop that has stopped posting and needs someone to keep it moving.
These are the questions we get on WhatsApp every week, answered the way we would answer them there.
WhatsApp usWe never show stock levels, storage or security arrangements, and never post a customer's identity or purchase. Showing the designs themselves is normal practice for jewellers across Pakistan.
Yes, by appointment and at a quieter hour. For jewellery we bring a small light setup, because the overhead lighting in most Raja Bazaar shops does not show gold accurately.
