The Raymond brand of shirting & suiting certainly needs no special introduction. They have been at the service of their clienteles & customers across India since the last 9 decades building up their own phenomenal reputation as far as branded fabrics are concerned.
On 14th Aug, 2017, a day prior to our 71st Independence day, “The Raymond Store” opened its new outlet in Jayanagar, the fashion hub, of Bangalore. And so on this auspicious day all roads across Jayanagar led to 4th Cross of the 11th Main Road to witness the grand opening of “The Raymond Store” at the hands of the veteran Kannada actor in tandem with Ram Bhatnagar (Vice President – Sales – Raymond), Mohit Dhanjal (Director – Retail – Raymond) & above all Gautam Bhobe – Genral Manager of “The Raymond Store”).
With the arrival of the Chief Guest namely Kannada actor Srinath, along with Ram Bhatnagar, Mohit Dhanjal & Gautam Bhobe, a perfunctory lighting of the Ceremonial Lamp was performed declaring the opening of the grand Raymond’s store of Jayanagar on the 4th cross of the 11th Main Road.
This was followed by a tour of “The Raymond Store” for the guest & the media ending up with a Press Conference held in the basement of “The Raymond Store”.
This was again followed by a dinner party, for the guest & the media, almost 5 kilometers away from the main Raymond’s store. Needless to say that many of them could not make it due to lack of proper guidance from the PR team of Corporate Communications in tow with the PR team of Elkay PR. The same misguidance occurred while handing out the Raymond’s media kit, no wonder many of them had to leave empty handed while others walked away with more than one media kit. One hopes Rohit Khanna of Corporate Communications is tuned in!!!!!
