supply chain, which can attract many high-quality FDI sources.

growing economy and hunger eradication and poverty reduction.
Vietnam has expanded its commodity export market to the world, especially the
countries of the European Union (EU), the US, and Japan.

low growth; political competition, armed conflict; natural disasters, epidemics, and
climate change adversely affect all countries. Countries with small economies like
Vietnam are often shaken.

affect us are from the outside, difficult to control, it is necessary to make an

where to attract and how to disburse. Production and business activities in some

Investment), the labor market in the third quarter of 2022 prospered with positive

most prominent trend of
Vietnamese users on the internet
is online shopping and cashless payment. The number of consumers shopping
online for the first time in Vietnam may reach 60 million. With 75% of people using
the Internet, Vietnam has 74.8% of Internet users participating in online shopping.
Clothing, shoes, cosmetics; household appliances; technology and electronics; books,
flowers, gifts, food... are the goods and services that consumers choose to shop online
the most.
Users tend to consume smarter by tightening spending, prioritizing essential
things. Vietnamese people also have high expectations for brands, especially in terms
of price and service quality. Specifically, up to 65% of users are interested in price
stabilization and discounts and promotions.
Along with the rise of the middle class. The growing middle class currently accounts
for 13% of the population and is expected to grow to 26% by 2026.

The first half of this year has been a very difficult time for investors. Currently, many
investors tend to return to the "defensive" position with gold. However, according
to experts, gold should only be considered a safe haven instead of a profit channel.
In the midst of modern society, personal style has become a factor that helps
people assert themselves, expressed through clothing styles or personal preferences,

ever since.
Businesses lost markets, labor shortages and debt piled up.

quantity and in skills of workers. The rate of informal employment is still high, the
rate of workers who have not undergone any form of vocational training is still high,
and the skill level of workers is still low.
4. TECHNOLOGICAL
Information technology and digital technology are being evaluated as the
field/key to shorten the gap between Vietnam and the world. For Vietnam - a
developing country, this is the only opportunity to rise up. Technology as a means of
supporting the transformation of existing activities to adapt to new situations, new
needs.
With the current online shopping trend, more and more e-commerce platforms such
as Shopee, Lazada, etc. sell many different items from popular to luxury. Stores
and businesses also build and promote their own shopping website development.
Quickly develop domestic e-commerce platforms, connect to global distribution
networks, quickly develop distribution systems for products with competitive
advantages both in the country and abroad.
5. ENVIRONMENT
The process of socio-economic development has revealed many shortcomings and
created great pressure on the ecological environment.
Environmental pollution in industrial parks, industrial clusters and craft villages
is at a worrying level. Solid waste is a hot, urgent issue that needs to be prioritized
for investment and settlement in Vietnam today, with tens of millions of tons of
domestic and industrial waste, hundreds of thousands of tons of hazardous waste and
garbage. plastic waste generated every year.
Vietnam is considered a country with diverse mineral resources with more than
5,000 mines, with about 60 different types of minerals. Those with large reserves
such as bauxite, apatite, titanium, coal, rare earth and granite, or those with high
value such as gold.
Businesses are licensed to exploit, but many businesses have exceeded the
allowable limit by several tens to hundreds of percent. Some businesses even
exploit hundreds of times. This affects the reduction of natural resources and affects
the economic development of the country.
Serious pollution incidents occur on a large scale in recent years have greatly
affected the ecological environment, people's health, and the uneven population
density in tarnished areas.
The area of primary forest has decreased dramatically. The sharp decline in forest
quality is one of the main reasons for the increase in frequency scale and intensity of
natural disasters occurring in recent years, such as: tube floods, flash floods,
landslides, inundation, drought and saltwater intrusion.
Flooding seriously affects
production, daily life and activities of
people; damaging construction
works, destroying technical
infrastructure works. The lack of
trees in cities also leads to impacts
such as the ability to block smoke
and increase the greenhouse effect.
[Floodiing in HCMC]
In Vietnam, the impact of climate change is also clearly
shown through the late arrival of this year's winter.
Vietnam is ranked among the most vulnerable countries in
the world to climate change. Extreme heat is easy to cause
but damage to facilities or fire occurs continuously.
Factories and manufacturing plants discharge chemicals
into the water environment, causing acid rain that can
damage products and cause air and water pollution.

To solve tax problems for businesses. The Government issued Decree No.
15/2022/ND-CP stipulating tax exemption and reduction policies according to
Resolution No. 43 of the National Assembly.
Decree 85/2021/ND-CP issued by the Government in 2021 on amendments and
supplements to a number of articles of Decree No. 52/2013/ND-CP on e-commerce
mentioned supporting content e-commerce enterprises such as reducing the scope of
licensing for e-commerce activities.
The Prime Minister also said that it will strengthen the management and
effective use of land and resources; environmental protection, natural disaster
prevention and response to climate change.
Decree No. 38/2022/ND-CP stipulating that the minimum wage for employees will
increase Resolution 43/2022/QH15 also provides a number of other policies such as:
+ Housing rental support for employees who are renting, boarding or working in industrial
parks, export processing zones and key economic areas.
+ Support individuals to buy, rent and buy social housing, build new/renovate, repair
houses, social housing policies, support jobs...
+ Specific regulations on cases in which overtime is allowed from over 200 hours to 300
hours in a year to ensure long-term benefits for employees; one additional day off with full
pay for employees adjacent to National Day September 2; additional cases where the
employee is allowed to take a leave of absence and still receive the full salary.
Large enterprises easily access support policies through official documents. While
small businesses access information through informal channels.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is developing regulations,
related to standards for emission and waste standards for manufacturing industries
with very strict requirements.
The Government promulgates policies and solutions to support businesses to recover,
especially policies on reducing input costs, production materials, and effectively
using the Stabilization Fund to limit price increases and reduce insurance taxes
environmental protection for petroleum, policies to stabilize prices and foreign
currency markets.
The amount of capital disbursed for the support packages is still slow compared
to the plan, due to complicated conditions and procedures, in which the procedure for
borrowing loans with interest rate support is not really appropriate and has not
requirements.
National Assembly Chairwoman Vuong Dinh Hue said that besides indirect policy
groups, Vietnam also provides direct cash support on a relatively large scale, such
as spending from the Unemployment Insurance Fund, direct payments through
through subsidies from the Government and local authorities...to support workers,
disadvantaged groups, low-income people...
Support policies were issued very quickly and in a timely manner, but the
implementation was generally slow, so the beneficiary results did not meet
expectations. The administrative procedures are cumbersome, many sub-licenses
related to the operation of the business. Supported subjects focus on a number of
industries, while many professions that are really difficult have not been supported in
a timely manner.
2. MARKET GROWTH
The global luxury jewelry industry is still doing very well, despite rising inflation and
a looming recession. “Jewelry is generally more resilient than other luxury goods in
times of crisis,” said Federica Levato, senior partner at Bain and Company in Milan. If
we look at luxury goods, jewelry is taking more market share than other segments.”
Even during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the high-end jewelry market in 2021
is still valued at about $22.8 billion, up 7% compared to 2019. Jewelry demand in
Vietnam alone reached 12 tons. in 2021, 11% higher than in 2019.
According to economic experts, the growth rate of Vietnam's gold jewelry market is
about 7-11%.
The global gold market rebounded in the first quarter of 2022, up 34% year-on-year,
thanks to strong ETF inflows, reflecting gold's status as a safe-haven investment
during this time. geopolitical and economic turmoil. Along with the recovery of global
gold demand, consumer gold demand in Vietnam increased from 18.6 tons in precious
4 of 2021 to 19.6 tons in precious of 2022, up 6% period last year. This growth was
driven by a 4% increase in total demand for bullion and gold coins, from 13.5 tons in
the first quarter of 2021, to 14 tons in the same quarter of 2022, and increased jewelry
demand 10%, from 5.1 tonnes in precious 1 2021 to 5.6 tonnes in precious 1 2022.
The latest gold demand trend report of the World Gold Council (WGC) shows that the
gold demand of Vietnamese consumers has increased from 12.6 tons in the second
quarter of 2021 to 14 tons in the second quarter of 2022, 11% increase over the same
period. This growth was driven by a 5 percent increase in total demand for bullion and
copper, from 9.1 tons to 9.6 tons, and a 28% increase in gold jewelry demand, from
3.5 tons to 4,5 tons.
3. MARKET SHARE
Although the jewelry playground has many opportunities to develop, the retail jewelry
industry does not always bring sweet fruits. For example, in mid-July, Mobile World

By the end of the second quarter of 2022, the number of enterprises granted
certificates of eligibility to produce gold jewelry and fine arts in Vietnam was 5,935
enterprises. But the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic also made a small part of
household stores close, leaving a part of the market share for other competitors.
However, there are still many private jewelry businesses occupying a large market
share in the Vietnamese market. These enterprises also import machinery, equipment,
chemicals and gold processing technology. It is this that makes the level of
competition increasingly fierce, especially the jewelry product line when it is
industrialized, with beautiful designs, low prices, and uniformity.
Currently, PNJ is considered as a major brand in the industry in Vietnam. The largest
jewelry retailer in Vietnam currently owns more than 300 stores. By the end of 2021,
PNJ accounted for 56.5% market share in middle- and high-end jewelry sales
nationwide. Despite its high market share, PNJ still has ample room for growth, in our
opinion.
Globally, in just a decade, the trend has changed. In 2022, branded jewelry will
account for more than 25-30% of the jewelry market
Experiencing the Covid-19 epidemic, some major brands were also affected. An
example is two brands PNJ and SJC. While SJC's 2021 profit is only 43 billion dong,
while PNJ's is 1,033 billion dong, meaning that SJC's full-year profit is only half of
PNJ's monthly income.
Profit declines SJC has closed some stores. As for PNJ, in 2021, PNJ opens 20 new
Gold stores and one Style store; while closing 21 stores to restructure the retail system
to a more prime location. The jewelry business recorded 342 stores at the end of last
year.
4. MARKET BRAND
Vietnam is a place with many opportunities to develop the jewelry industry through
which many established and even established brands enter the Vietnamese market.
They have a certain loyal customer base and position in the jewelry market. Some new
gold brands of banks are also asserting their position in the Vietnamese market such as
ACB gold of Asia Bank, Sacombank gold bar of Thuong Tin bank. Here is a summary
of famous jewelry brands in Vietnam:
PNJ: A very prominent jewelry brand in Vietnam with more than 300 stores
accounting for more than 50% of the market share in Vietnam.
DOJI: A brand of gold, silver, and gemstones with a variety of types and unique
designs. DOJI has more than 70 stores in Vietnam.
Skymond Luxury: Established on 8/8/2008. Dominate the market in the high-end
segment with uniquely designed jewelry models.

particular, the brand also owns exclusive design products such as 9999 gold round
rings, Loc 12 Con Giap set.
Bao Tin Minh Chau: As a brand that is no stranger to Vietnamese people, this brand is
strong in 24k gold jewelry and gold bars. BTMC has more than 100 stores nationwide
SJC: Is a state-owned enterprise. SJC gold bar is known as a brand with a long history

out of date. Therefore, it is also welcomed by young people and has never stopped
being hot in the jewelry store market.
Cartino: Known as the most famous wedding jewelry brand in Ho Chi Minh City
today. Proud to be one of the pioneers in the development of Platinum jewelry lines in
Vietnam with 3D product design services according to customers' ideas.
5. MARKET NEED
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, people are born with needs, but needs do
not come from society or are cherished by the advertising industry. Needs have the
characteristics of changing over time, not fixed. As people grow financially or
spiritually, their needs will increase.
Purchasing power for non-essential goods grew beyond expectations.
We can see that using jewelry belongs to the group of needs for self-actualization,
individuality and the need to be esteem. Jewelry is clearly a middling need. It is not as
essential as physiological well-being - for food, water or sex - but neither is it
explicitly a part of something as lateral as self-actualization. Jewelry acts as an agent
of personality.
An assertion of their wealth and of their status. As the living standards of the average
person in many societies have improved that there is less worry of food and shelter -
i.e., the physiological needs - people find themselves, like kings, seeking out jewelry
as a sign of status.
6. MARKET DEMAND
Jewelry is an item with little fluctuation in demand because jewelry is considered an
indispensable product on Valentine's Day, Tet, wedding...etc. In addition, the trend of
consuming fashion jewelry is a common trend of women today and the demand for
this item is increasing because people's income has improved over the years. Gold
jewelry is considered by consumers as an investment that has both beauty value and
cumulative value. At the same time, the demand for domestic jewelry remains strong,
due to travel restrictions, customers cannot buy jewelry abroad as before, so giving
priority to domestic products is inevitable.
In addition, we expect high demand for diamond and diamond jewelry due to delayed
wedding ceremonies during the social distancing period and the desire for safe-haven
assets amid the current economic crisis. Stability in other investment assets should
help spur the recovery.
When consumers have a need to express themselves and be respected, they also have
financial capacity. At this point Need will be converted to Demand.Currently, the
trend of buying gold jewelry of Vietnamese people has changed a lot. They tend to

that don't meet their
expectations. Demand of Jewellery is different such as rings, necklaces, depending on
the customer's ability to pay.
Jewelry demand in Vietnam reaches Asian average.
According to management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG), per
capita income in Vietnam will increase from 1,400 USD/year to 3,400 USD/year by
2021. The number of middle class people also increases, means that the demand for
gold, silver and jewelry will also increase exponentially. In addition to beauty needs,
many customers, especially young customers, also need jewelry and accessories to
express their fashion and personality. Therefore, they are willing to shop and
constantly innovate, placing high demands on the diversity, richness and variation in
designs, materials, and product categories.

people are the focus, the decisive factor to help businesses transform strongly in the
face of all changes, as well as be able to respond flexibly to unexpected factors. In the
heart of the storm, when businesses face many difficulties and have to make decisions
to cut resources or close businesses, PNJ has remained steadfast, maintained the

All PNJ employees have an equal opportunity to express their values and contribute to
the overall success of the organization. The company specifically upholds the spirit of
gender equality for women workers. PNJ always places a top priority on raising
awareness of the role of women, both in the family and in society.
PNJ's human resources have been increasingly young and dynamic in parallel with
improving skills, in line with PNJ's strategy of "rejuvenation" as it has expanded the
market to attract young customers. With a dynamic, dedicated staff, it promises to
make a breakthrough for the success of PNJ Next.
PNJ's labor structure is still concentrated mainly in the Southern region due to the
specificity of production and business areas. The company currently owns and
operates two large-scale production facilities in Ho Chi Minh City: Go Vap and Long
Hau Factories with production capacity of up to 4 million and 2 million products,
respectively. By region, the North and Central markets are still very modest compared
to the South, there has been still a lot of potential. However, PNJ has been planning to
expand its operations, attacking more aggressively in the Northern and central
markets. This is also an opportunity for PNJ to create jobs and attract more quality
human resources from all regions of the country.
c. Talent acquisition
PNJ's policy of attracting talent is not competitive with salary but by long-term
commitment and sharing of achievements. With the number of recruits in 2021 more
than 1,700 employees, PNJ's recruitment team has excellently met the needs of
business development as well as production of the Group in the context of fierce
competition in the retail industry (the development and expansion of the system of a
series of retail chains & F&B industry in the country as well as of foreign brands
penetrating into the Vietnamese market) as well as the pandemic impacts.
As a company with a large and prestigious brand, together with a visionary
management board, modern management system, competitive compensation policies
according to market surveys have so far been built and perfected, PNJ has certain
advantages in attracting talent by receiving high rankings in the voting Best Working
Place in Vietnam" and "Employer of Choice”.
d. Human resource skills training & development
In the KPIs set of PNJ, there is always a team capacity development section in which
the leader/head of the unit must be responsible for building, organizing training
programs and developing the team of their unit. It accounts for 10% of total KPIs.
With the characteristics of the jewelry industry that requires high skills in the
manufacturing department as well as communication skills when working directly
with customers, PNJ has always focused on skills training for the workforce. PNJ's
training programs include mandatory programs as prescribed by law, skills training
programs to develop the orientation capacity of the organization, skills upgrade

e. Improving team's performance, morale and combat readiness
PNJ continuously has had policies and activities to improve the performance, morale
and combat readiness of employees throughout the system. The new business rewards
policy was also effectively applied to bring positive encouragement to the team and
created excitement for the entire business force. The monthly job bonus policy was
also applied in testing at office units, helping PNJ create motivation towards high
achievement development
Simultaneously, online training solutions were constantly being implemented to
refresh team capacity, equipped with in-depth knowledge and skills and spread
knowledge in the system, ensuring construction of a team to be rich in both "quality"
and "quantity". Corporate culture is also a factor invested by PNJ through its activities
of communication, reminders and examples.
f. Human resources in manufacturing
The jewelry industry always requires manual processing, especially for product lines
PNJ's high-end products such as CAO Fine Jewelry should be the quality of the
workers Jewelery is a decisive factor in product quality and business success Karma.
PNJ's team of jewelers is new and recruited by the company training from scratch.
During the working process, the specialized department will detect and advanced
training for highly skilled workers and increase the level of compensation support to
retain workers. PNJ has about 1,000 jewelers, of which, over 160 jewelers are
classified as “jewelry artists” and account for about 70% of Vietnamese artisans.
1.1 MARTERIALS
Source of input materials
PNJ's input materials are mainly raw gold, raw silver, gold bars, precious stones, and
diamonds. The peculiarity of this group of materials is the constant volatility of prices.
since most of PNJ's input materials are nonrenewable materials. Therefore, PNJ's
Board of Management has always paid constant attention to the efficient use of input
materials, thereby reducing negative impacts on the environment and nature.
The company also has a policy of purchasing used products of customers to make
renewable materials and has a process of recovering precious metals when disposing
of waste.
1.2 MACHINE
Currently, PNJ has a system to determine product quality for the company is PNJ Lab.
PNJ Laboratory Company Limited was established by PNJ as an leading inspection
company for diamonds,
gemstones, precious metals
in Vietnam. PNJLab is now
the leading inspection
company in Vietnam and
among a very few

companies that are
successfully built and
operated according to
international standards
ISO/IEC 17025. More than
20 years of operation, a
team of experienced and well informed experts and modern technology equipment, the
responsibility, precise, transparency, neutral behavior and high has empowered PNJ
Lab to affirm its reputation towards domestic and foreign customers.
PNJ jewelry factory with a capital of 120 billion VND and production capacity of over
4 million products/year and is one of the largest jewelry manufacturing enterprises in
Asia with an area of 3,500 m2. The factory scale consists of 6 floors, with a total
construction area of 12,500 m2. Currently, PNJ has only exploited over 50% of the
factory's capacity and 90% of the local human resources, so the risk of capacity
overload is very unlikely. At the same time, the demand for investment in fixed assets
until 2025 is high trivial.
PNJ uses technologies such as laser technology, CAD-CAM technology, casting
technology with stone beads, cutting technology with diamond knives, 3D printing
technology… to make products more diverse and tend to specialize in high chemistry.
PNJ uses Data Analytics to analyze and optimize inventory and on-the-go goods.
Because PNJ's products such as gold and silver jewelry are often small, but the value
is very large, and the financial costs are also very large.
PNJ also applies Computer vision technology combined with artificial intelligence,
turning security cameras into cameras to help read customer behavior and
salesperson's behavior. Thereby helping businesses rearrange shelves in the store,
facilitating the flow of customers, optimizing the efficiency of staff use as well as
rearrange shifts and crews.
PNJ successfully launched go-live the new HR management system with 9 modules
(such as Recruitment, Attendance checking, Salary – Bonus, Tax ...), 15 online
accepting processes with a system capacity of 10,000 users. By using the human
resource management system – CAFE, nearly 90% of manual operations have been
automated by the HRIS system, helping to minimize human intervention.
All inventory management and direct sales activities are done on SAP 4HANA
software system, inventory management and sales module. As a result, the Board of
Directors and related departments of PNJ can immediately access data and business
results of each store in real time (Real-time) and significant increase management
efficiency as well as risk control. In addition, the SAP system and the investment in
AI (Artificial Intelligence) also help PNJ connect and understand the needs of
customers to provide a better experience, which is a springboard for PNJ to develop
new distribution channels and business related to e-commerce.
In order to maintain a stable balance as well as a suitable balance in such a global
difficult situation, PNJ's Board of Directors has still maintained a deep investment in
technology, technical equipment to ensure modernity. amount, using raw materials
effectively.
To ensure optimal power use and avoid waste, PNJ implements an energy saving
program through the installation of an automatic air conditioning power shutoff
system: reducing air-conditioning time after 15 minutes of work and before 15
minutes before the break. Converting steam welding technology from gas and gasoline
to NH3, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Installing water cooling
ventilation system at the walls of the floors.
For industrial purposes, the supply water has been always saved as PNJ has been
using Italian top-notch machines. PNJ decided that the important measure is to build
an appropriate wastewater treatment system and the quality of the treated water meets
the standards for discharge into the receiving source. Wastewater treatment system
applies physico-chemical technology combined with micro - organisms, this is a
modern technology with large investment costs.
One of the peculiarities of the jewelry manufacturing industry is that the raw materials
lost in the production process (gold and silver powder) are of great value. Each year
PNJ uses nearly 5 tons of gold, the average loss rate of PNJ is about 1%, equivalent to
a loss of about 50kg of gold (70 billion VND). PNJ invests in modern production
machinery system to reduce the amount of wasted materials and has effective
technology to recover this loss.
1.3 MONEY
According to the financial statement of the third quarter of 2022, PNJ's payable debt is
quite large, although it has decreased compared to the beginning of the year from 4.6
trillion to 4.1 trillion, although not much, but there are signs. The positive is that
equity increased by 2 trillion.
Gold accounts for a large proportion of inventory (about 33% for both raw gold and
gold bars) but is quite liquid and easy to convert into cash. PNJ has an advantage over
others because PNJ is a gold consumer and also a gold buyer, so there is always
diversity to ensure harmony and balance at all times. PNJ does not advocate trading in
gold bars but optimizes inventory from time to time
In the 3rd quarter of 2022, PNJ's net sales revenue increased significantly compared to
the same period last year of 8 trillion. In which, revenue mainly comes from the sale
of gold, silver, gems and 24k gold revenue increased 698% yoy thanks to the recovery
of the market and the change of investment trend during the inflation period.
In terms of expenses, selling and administrative expenses both increased compared to
the previous year, but in general, it was mainly due to increasing business activities
and optimized operating costs and increased labor productivity.

PNJ expects net revenue of VND 25,835 billion and profit after tax of about VND
1,320 billion in 2022, an increase of 32% and 28%, respectively. The anticipated
dividendlevel is 20%, the same as in 2021.
The Board of Directors (BOD) suggests to shareholders rewarding the Board of
Directors and key executives if this year's profit after tax is higher than last year's
results. Bonuses for the Board of Directors and other important executives will be 1%
of the realized after-tax profit if the realized after-tax profit in 2022 reaches 128% of

ratio (owning every 3 shares will receive 1 new share). If adopted, PNJ's charter
capital would rise from VND 2,276 billion to VND 3,096 billion
SMART OBJECTIVE
Specific In 2022, PNJ targets net revenue of VND 25,835 billion, profit
after tax of approximately VND 1,320 billion, up 32% and 28%
respectively compared to the results of 2021.
Attainable Based on the fact that the gold price is stabilizing again and
tends to increase. Besides, customers also need to find safe
investment assets.
In addition, the fact that the Fed slows down the rate of interest
rate increase due to the fact that inflation is gradually being
controlled will also increase people's demand for gold bullion
investment.
Realistic At the end of December, PNJ plans to issue 82 million shares
from equity at a ratio of 3:1 under the employee selection
program.
Promote KPI for each PNJ store to achieve the expected net
revenue of PNJ at the end of this year of VND 25,835 billion.
Time-Bound The goal is that PNJ must achieve about the issuance of
shares about 36 months from the date of stock issuance.
The KPI level for all PNJ stores must be achieved by the end
of 2022 (and this KPI setting is set before about August
2021).
PNJ naming such a product would be a double-edged sword. Specifically, PNJ has
given its own name to each product, but the names of these products are still related to
the PNJ brand, if a member of PNJ gets involved in a scandal or has a bad reputation
about a product, the chances are high. that all remaining brand chains of PNJ will be
affected quite a lot when customers absorb information and respond to that
information. But there are good sides about this naming that will help increase the
customer experience, the ability to reach customers helps customers make the right
choices because each PNJ brand will target different customer segments. from
medium to high-end depending on the client's finances.
1.3 Packing
Packaging is considered the 5th letter P in the
Marketing Mix, so PNJ invests heavily in
packaging design and product packaging.
Regarding PNJ's packaging process, each PNJ
product is carefully packed by PNJ. Because it
is a high-value jewelry item, the packaging has
many layers of protection, the first layer PNJ
uses foam to protect and fix the product,
followed by the outermost layer is the outer
box. This way of packaging also has another reason that customers buy jewelry
through faith. This makes customers have more confidence in PNJ when PNJ brings
respect and care in each product. As for the packaging of each product, PNJ only
prints the logo depending on the brand and one of the two typical and iconic colors of
PNJ. For products such as gifts, or gold bars, PNJ designs more patterns. PNJ's
packaging is inherently almost impossible to product information because PNJ is
using the Less is More packaging strategy, which means less information but much
efficiency. The essence of this method is based on the 2 second rule, If a shopper is
attracted by the images and words on the package within 2 seconds, they will have a
feeling that the product is perfect, understand clearly understand its features and uses
and appreciate the simplicity of product packaging. If the buyer has to look at the
product for more than 2 seconds, all efforts are immediately judged as a waste of time,
and your product is put aside in favor of other products that convey the message.
download and attract in a short time. The philosophy of “less is more” will increase
the chances of your product being the first choice making shoppers become customers
as most of PNJ's customers have an aesthetic eye in choosing. This also makes an
important contribution to brand recognition and value transmission of products and
brands.
2. PRICE
2.1 Product pricing strategy
PNJ is a jewelry manufacturing enterprise as well as a jewelry business, so in this
process a lot of costs are incurred, not only that, PNJ also needs a profit to maintain
and develop its activities. their own, but also not avoid the policy of the law on price
ceiling. These factors will constitute the price of the product, but to price its products
in a reasonable and effective way to bring positive effects to PNJ. In the context of
consumers' demand for delicious - nutritious - cheap goods, making businesses always
feel pressure to meet this demand, some businesses even devalue their products. In the
private jewelry industry, customer psychology on price is always an obstacle for PNJ
as being skeptical about the price, which makes customers tend to refer to prices at
many other distributors. Therefore, PNJ will have to have price strategies so that
consumers do not feel that the price is too high to reduce PNJ's revenue.
a. High valuation strategy
The jewelry industry belongs to a monopolistically competitive market, so the seller
will be the one to set the price according to product characteristics and consumer
demand. According to the positioning map, the prices of PNJ's products are being
overvalued and a few are on par with competitors in the industry. For PNJ, the high
valuation is not unusual when the majority of customers targeted by PNJ are middle-
class and upper-class customers. High valuation brings PNJ a small profit as well as
affirms PNJ's position in the jewelry market as a high-end brand, which brings
customers a lot of commercial value. personal brand, they will feel that in order for
PNJ to have such a high price, PNJ's products must be of high quality. According to
the positioning map, the quality of PNJ's products is ranked higher than that of its
competitors, so PNJ has the right to price its products at a high level. Not only in the
product side, factors related to customer experience and accessibility are also noticed
by PNJ by placing the store in easily accessible locations or in shopping centers.
luxury shopping, luxury or not. The store space is displayed, luxuriously designed,
bringing high-class elements, enhancing value for customers, since then, customers
are willing to spend money to buy PNJ's products. To do these things, PNJ will
certainly have to spend a lot of different costs, this is also the second factor for PNJ to
be highly valued in the market.
b. Skimming price strategy
PNJ is constantly launching new products and outfits. Fashion jewelry products like
this often have a short life cycle when they are no longer relevant in terms of design or
competitors introduce newer products. With the strength of owning a creative and
professional design team, PNJ brings product designs that catch up with modern
fashion trends, making a difference in the jewelry market. The difference and variety
of PNJ products is an advantage when customers are connoisseurs, always ahead of
fashion trends, like differences, they are always ahead of new products. Another factor
is the diverse product portfolio that makes it difficult for new customers to choose,
according to consumer psychology and behavior, most new customers will tend to
always choose new products when they do not have much knowledge. New products
will attract new customers more than old products. But another key factor is the loyal
customer file to PNJ, having been in the market for a long time, PNJ has built up a
loyal customer base, they are always looking forward to PNJ launching new product
lines to experience. experience. beauty, beauty. Through these factors, PNJ has
implemented a skimming price strategy for new products in order to maximize
revenue and gain high profits from the market when the market does not have quality
products. and similar car lines, the profit of this strategy will focus mainly on those
who are willing to spend money to experience the new product first, but then sales
will decrease because most customers already own . Therefore, PNJ will reduce the
product price gradually over time so that other customers have the opportunity to own
the product. If the product price is not lowered at the right time, when competitors
launch new products with similar designs and quality but better prices, it will be
difficult for PNJ to consume all the remaining goods, leading to the consumption of
products. Consuming the remaining amount of goods will have difficulty leading to
inventory.
c. Competitive parity strategy
In the context of the jewelry industry market, there are more and more competitors
and fierce competition between long-standing brands. PNJ has applied a strategy of
parity with competitors. In the product portfolio of PNJ, there will be some old-
fashioned, quality products that are no longer considered different in the market, such
as a 24K gold pendant with the same price as DOJI's products. When seeing similar
products like this appearing on the market, PNJ will price such old products on par
with competitors or within the general market price level to avoid price wars. When
there is a price war, businesses will be at risk in terms of profits. This strategy also
helps PNJ sell off old inventory to develop new products that can be approached and
attracted, but new customers want to buy PNJ's products at not too high prices.
3. PLACE
PNJ is a long-standing jewelry business dealing in jewelry products for consumers, so
the distribution channel plays a very important role in PNJ's sales. The distribution
channel helps PNJ to research the market and consumer tastes to come up with a
suitable strategy for the company. How to build relationships and stay connected with
loyal and potential customers.
For distribution channel strategies, PNJ has identified its own distribution activities to
develop appropriate strategies for each activity.

competitors. These competitors are always looking for ways to entice consumers to
their side. Therefore, in order to attract consumers to their products to become their
customers, PNJ must have effective promotion strategies. Promotion strategy has the
role of promoting purchasing activities faster, stronger and building and strengthening
the position of the business in the market. Developing a promotion strategy needs to

Accordingly, PNJ is exploiting 2 main aspects nested in these stories: fashion and
love.
In terms of fashion, PNJ focuses on bringing products to life situations in a subtle
way, hitting women's psychology strongly. With her products, a woman can shine at
any time from work, going out, meeting friends to everyday moments.
In terms of love, PNJ cleverly turned himself into a witness for the love of the couple
who is about to step on the threshold of marriage. The TVCs that they put together are
very simple but still impress viewers with the sweetness of love. Not stopping there,
the love story of PNJ is also extremely aesthetic and humane.
This is a bold move of a jewelry retail brand with more than 30 years of history like
PNJ. Each Storytelling campaign always creates a lot of sympathy for consumers,
especially young people, who are the most difficult customers to convince.
Even recently, PNJ suddenly announced the TVC Video that was shown at Times
Square New York with high national pride. The story inside the ad is supported by
many Americans, and has more than 100 international and domestic newspapers
covering it.
+ Newspapers and magazines: PNJ also regularly appears on newspapers and
magazines with titles such as "PNJ Jewelry participates in International Fashion Week
in Vietnam", "Thanh Hang, Vo Hoang Yen color on the fashion carpet with PNJ
jewelry”, … increasing the level of customer access.
b. Promotion
Promotion is always part of PNJ's promotion strategy when there are continuous
promotions for customers. PNJ promotions are always associated with certain
holidays or associated with meaningful slogans to promote shopping behavior of
customers to bring the promotion closer to customers. PNJ has cleverly built
promotions that are applied exclusively to distribution channels or a combination of
both. PNJ does this to bring its customers to experience in all forms of purchase,
increasing the accessibility of customers as well as the next purchase. At the same
time, build promotions to stimulate consumers to buy more products. Promotions will
not be effective when not making a profit because for promotions, a large number of
products are sold to make a profit.
Currently PNJ is having promotions such as:
Special offer for e-commerce site (Sparkling offer - shine your best, discount up to
25% and bill over 5 million get 1 silver product, .....). Such exclusive incentives help
PNJ build and develop a larger e-commerce site, attracting a large number of online
customers in the developed technology society. When customers buy goods under
these promotions, PNJ also supports free fast delivery for customers to bring
customers the best experience.
Offers from private brands such as Style by PNJ's current program (Conquering every
party night is also an online exclusive with up to 30% off). Incentives like this help
PNJ in developing increasingly powerful brands to dominate the entire jewelry
market. And also bring customers closer to all brands when each brand targets
different customer segments.
Priority under the PNJ system: Depending on each development area of PNJ, PNJ will
offer different promotions to satisfy the thirst for promotion of consumers while still
making a profit.
Combined advantage: PNJ builds web-based promotions - in-store as "full hundred
years" because PNJ not only wants customers to approach them through the website,
but also to come directly to them. continue its stores. When customers come to the
place to see the jewelry products, they will tend to see more of the remaining
products, which is very helpful when increasing the likelihood of customers coming
back.
c. Personal sale
Personal selling is a method of engaging potential consumers directly in conversation
to showcase a product and pique their interest in purchasing it.

ready to share information and answer customers' questions.
Store customer data, like Zalo, to constantly update new products for loyal customers
However, this form of 1-to-1 sales can be said to be the most expensive and time
consuming.
In order to implement this personal offer well, PNJ has built PNJ Next store chains
with open interactive spaces, sales staff standing with customers instead of behind
counters like in store systems. before, in order to create intimacy, closeness and
intimacy with customers. Motivate and encourage customers to buy more
