If you think Diwali is the festival of light you are only partly right because Diwali is also the festival of shopping. According to <\/span>YouGov<\/span><\/a>, \u201c<\/span>59% of urban consumers said that they will shop this Diwali, compared to only 39% who will shop during big online sales<\/i><\/b>\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n

This means that the countdown to Diwali is also a countdown to shopping sprees! For D2C brands, this is the perfect time to roll out the red carpet for potential customers. With everyone in the mood to splurge, how can you make sure your brand shines brighter than the rest? Let\u2019s dive into detailed analysis and effective strategies to attract Diwali shoppers to your D2C brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diwali shopping trends and customer behaviour<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to InMobi\u2019s 2023 report, Indian festive shoppers can be classified into three main categories:<\/span><\/p>\n

The unplanned shopper (19%)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unplanned shoppers make spontaneous purchases without prior knowledge or planning about the product or the brand. This segment is nearly evenly split between genders and age groups, suggesting that brands can attract a diverse range of customers with the right strategies. Effective engagement and promotions can encourage these shoppers to explore your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Category explorers (63%)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Category explorers know about the product they want to shop for but they are not necessarily loyal to a specific brand. They actively seek out what they need, and if your brand meets their requirements during their exploration, they are likely to make a purchase. Understanding their preferences and showcasing your products effectively can capture their interest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brand lovers (18%)<\/span><\/h3>\n

Brand lovers are loyal customers who prefer specific brands. They make up 18% of the festive shopper segment. This group values brand reputation and consistency, so maintaining high-quality products and customer service is essential for retaining their loyalty during the Diwali shopping season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The good news is that a significant percentage of Indian festive shoppers belong to the first two categories. With the right strategies and execution, you can successfully attract these customers to your brand by taking the appropriate steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Festive discounts and offers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Festive discounts may seem like an obvious choice, but if executed correctly, they can significantly boost your Diwali sales. Think like a shopper: what drives you to make a purchase during Diwali? Discounts right?<\/span><\/p>\n

While you might worry about profit margins, there are ways to offer discounts without sacrificing too much on profits:<\/span><\/p>\n

Minimum purchase discounts<\/span><\/h3>\n

Rather than a flat 50% off, offer discounts based on a minimum purchase. This approach encourages shoppers to buy more products from you.<\/span><\/p>\n
