With the arrival of the wedding season, IDFC Bank blended their services for a well-timed campaign with #ShaadiKeKharche.
Objective
Promoting their Personal Loan services this wedding season, IDFC Bank offered their followers a chance to have the lavish wedding that one always dreams of and highlighted the financial strain with #ShaadiKeKharche.
Execution
With a series of creative illustrations on their social media handles on Facebook and Twitter, IDFC Bank kept in line with their Personal Loan services with fun and quirky wedding themed post.
Building on the insight that an average person in India, spends one fifth of their accumulated lifetime wealth on a wedding, the brand offered an alternative to make dreams come true.
