Festival campaigns: how Indian brands win the season

Diwali, Eid, Navratri, wedding season: plan early, tell a story, and make the offer obvious.

← All articles

Festive seasons are the biggest moments in the Indian retail calendar. Attention is high, and so is competition.

Start four to six weeks early

Audiences begin browsing well before the festival. A teaser phase builds anticipation, then launch, then a final-days reminder.

Tell a story, not just a sale

Tie your collection to the feeling of the festival: family, light, new beginnings. Offers land better when they sit inside a story.

Make the offer obvious

Put the offer, the deadline and the delivery promise in the first line of the caption and on the creative itself.
