Gurugram, India, 9 October 2024 — As
Diwali approaches, businesses face the challenge of connecting with India’s
diverse customer base across multiple regions and languages. KIT Global India,
which provides first-party data solutions, offers a strategic advantage through
hyper-personalization in digital marketing campaigns. By focusing on these
tools, businesses can drive higher engagement and maximize their marketing
Return On Investment (ROI) during one of the year’s most lucrative shopping
seasons.
Personalization in
marketing is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
●
86% of marketers believe that personalization will be
critical to their strategy by 2025.
●
With the rise of digital
penetration - projected to reach 950 million internet users by the end
of 2024 - there is an unprecedented opportunity for businesses to
craft highly individualized campaigns.
However, failure to
adapt to regional and cultural nuances can lead to disengagement, a growing
concern for brands trying to break through the clutter of Diwali promotions.
“We're addressing these challenges by utilizing real-time data, AI
insights, and an understanding of India's diverse cultures,” said Rahul Khurana, Country Head at KIT Global
India. “This approach helps brands connect with their audiences through
messaging that resonates with local traditions and personalized campaigns that
cater to the varied preferences across India’s tiered cities.”
Hyper-Personalization for
India’s Diverse Market
KIT Global's Platform
leverages AI-powered hyper-personalization to analyze algorithms and generate
tailored messages that resonate with individual consumers. This is especially
critical in a market as diverse as India, where regional languages, customs,
and preferences vary significantly.
For example, a
campaign in Maharashtra may emphasize Marathi traditions, while a Tamil
Nadu-based campaign might focus on local Tamil customs. By using first-party
data, businesses can effectively cater to these unique cultural expectations.
The demand for such
targeted approaches is rising.
●
45% of Indian consumers now expect brands to
personalize their shopping experience.
●
Retailers and brands that adopt
these strategies can see a potential increase of up to 15% increased sales
by delivering more relevant content to consumers.
Cultural Customization: A
Key Differentiator
72% of consumers are more likely to respond to
a brand that reflects their local culture or uses their native language. KIT
Global India’s platform allows businesses to create region-specific campaigns
that take into account the varying Diwali traditions across the country. This
not only enhances consumer trust but also significantly boosts engagement.
Brands that
implement cultural customization in their campaigns often see a more than 20%
higher conversion rate.
Reaching Tiered Markets
with Tailored Strategies
India’s market is
segmented into Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 cities, each with its own consumer
behavior and purchasing power. Brands can effectively design campaigns that
resonate with diverse audiences by tailoring their strategies according to the
city tiers in India.
In Tier 1 cities,
where consumers are often more tech-savvy and affluent, tech-driven and premium
campaigns are likely to be more effective.
Conversely, in Tier
2 and Tier 3 cities, where value sensitivity may be higher, simpler and more
value-driven approaches tend to resonate better with the audience.
“The power of cultural customization combined with real-time data
allows us to optimize marketing strategies, ensuring that businesses reach
their desired audience with the right message. It’s a game-changer for brands
looking to maximize their impact during Diwali and beyond,” added Khurana.
Looking Ahead: First-Party
Data Advantage
As the retail
industry evolves, it is essential for businesses to adapt to trends such as
hyper-personalization and cultural customization to remain competitive. Companies
can leverage tools and strategies that assist brands in connecting with their
customers, particularly during significant periods like Diwali.
By navigating
the complexities of India’s consumer landscape, KIT Global India supports
businesses in implementing effective and personalized digital marketing
strategies to achieve long-term ROI.
