dedicated to design, production and sale of premium menswear.
In 2001, DIELMAR started the vertical integration of its business with the opening of
brand stores.
Offering a competitive price for a high range of premium quality products,

MARKETING & SALES STRAT
Thus, some actions will be performed over the next three years to leverage this growth, with a limited budget overcome the difficulties imposed by the global
financial crisis: • Create new partnerships with agencies and
partners that improve brand awareness, positioning it with the market/customer target;
• Promote internationalization of the brand through franchising and joint ventures;
• Have a major presence in prestigious international trade fairs in order to leverage and expand brand awareness;
• Ensure the brand stays top of mind of some target consumers by sponsoring television shows (Jornal da Noite, Expresso da Meia Noite), and advertsing in magazines and newspapers (Jornal de Negócios, Visão, Executive Digest, Mercedes, …).
Apart from our recurring presence in the largest international exhibitions of menswear - PITTI UOMO, Florence, Italy - which has played a dominant role in developing and growing brand awareness and consequent internationalization, it also attends others, namely: PREMIUM (Berlin, Germany), MRKet Show (Las Vegas, USA) and Macao. Moreover, aiming at the business verticalization abroad, DIELMAR is present also in Franchising fairs from 2015 on. DIELMAR will keep only the partnerships that have assumed better economic return.
Striving for brand consolidation at local level and international market expansion,
DIELMAR focus on key strategic marketing operations and values communication actions that ensure the highest ROI.
Being global sales growth a strategic objective for DIELMAR, participation in trade fairs is a vehicle of excellence for
achieving it
