Challenges

The brand faced challenges in terms of sales due to lack of awareness - a largely untapped market represented huge potential, and yet traditional consumer behavior pointed toward offline methods of sales over digital. In spite of good social presence, there was no engagements or conversions due to the absence of user-oriented campaigns.

In addition, Gorilla Fans had to be pitched against well-established brands such as Crompton, Havells and Bajaj.

Strategy & Execution

The brand decided to address the lengthy buying cycle and consequent drop-offs

Generally, the consumer behavior in this industry has a time-lag of 2-3 weeks in the purchase. This, combined with the short-attention-span and high competition in the market, leads to a lot of purchase drop-offs.

To overcome the high-drop off rates in the journey, the brand used Amura's marketing automation platform Sell.Do to assist users (via call) as soon as they provided contact information on the social media(messages/comment) / website. The personalized approach also increased the brand consideration along with the purchase rate.

Once in the Sell.Do funnel, users were also exposed to micro-moment communication in the form of Emailers / SMSes and other nurturing methods.

This was facilitated with creative sequencing, continuous creative optimization and an integration with the marketing automation platform.

Audience and Data Strategy

A mix of interest categories and look-alike audiences were used to reach out to the right people; created using the users who had purchased the product in the past. Facebook Audience Insights along with Facebook Analytics was also used to identify the right audience.

The audiences were divided into four groups:
i) Awareness Audiences

ii) Remarketing Audiences

i) Awareness Audience - Introduced to the brand for the first time these users are basically the aforementioned lookalike audience. Facebook was integrated with Youtube and Google display to increase brand. The communication focused on the points which would contribute to brand and product consideration. The key objective was content consumption and brand interest.

i) MIF

The brand created a video of how Marico Innovation Foundation had recognized Atomberg's efforts and technology.
