    E-commerce: Leveraging the power of offer optimisation, personalisation, & AI in advertising

    The e-commerce market is booming exponentially. E-commerce sales are anticipated to touch the $8 trillion mark by 2027. Attracting and retaining customers in this ever-evolving landscape is becoming increasingly difficult. Brands are consistently seeking innovative strategies to acquire the right set of users that fuel the maximum conversions. Striking the perfect balance between optimised offers, hyper-personalisation and capitalising on Artificial Intelligence is the key to maximise e-commerce success. This strategy will ensure a holistic and satisfactory user experience, benefiting businesses immensely.

    E-commerce advertising, in today’s era transcends the realm of generic banners and sending out mass emails. With a colossal amount of content at their disposal, it is imperative to deliver personalised content that does not fade into the background and is able to captivate the user’s interest. Significant advancements in the field of technology marked by the growing popularity of AI and machine learning have proved to be catalysts in optimising advertising efforts.

    Bridging the gap between consumer needs & promotional offers!

    Tailoring promotional offers to rightfully cater to the needs of the target audience for maximum impact in contrast to bombarding them with generic discounts can significantly impact conversion rates. E-commerce platforms can harness the power of AI to get insight into the behaviour patterns of their target audience like their purchase history, browsing patterns and demographics to create offers that resonate with them in the best possible way and boost customer satisfaction. AI and machine learning algorithms can help craft the best offers ranging from personalised discount codes to limited-time promotion deals. Choosing the right distribution channel is pivotal to reach a wider and ideal audience segment that will most likely hit that call-to-action button.

    Tailored shopping experiences through personalisation

    Brands are turning to personalisation as a means to forge deeper connections with their audiences. From product recommendations based on past behaviour to customised email campaigns that address the specific needs of each customer, personalisation goes a long way in driving heightened brand loyalty and improved engagement. Creating a differentiated journey for each customer through multiple touchpoints is an integral part of an e-commerce marketing strategy.

    Unleashing the power of AI to eevolutionise e-commerce marketing

    AI is transforming the e-commerce industry to a great extent by identifying consumer preferences, predicting user behaviour and delivering hyper-targeted ads. Personalised interactions have become indispensable for brands nowadays. AI analyses huge chunks of data and helps businesses delve deep into what their customers desire. Subsequently, they are able to deliver relevant content that addresses their pain points throughout the consumer lifecycle. It also helps marketers take note of at-risk customers and help craft strategies that will rekindle their interest in the brand.

    AI adoption automates workflow by streamlining processes such as product recommendations, loyalty discounts and low-level support. This enhances operational efficiency and cuts down labour costs. Also, automating tasks like emailing, order fulfilment, customer service, and payment processing, helps allocate resources to innovation and growth.

  • Fans go all out to recommend their favourite shows and movies in the latest brand film unveiled by Prime Video as part of the Everyone’s Talking Amazon Prime campaign

    Fans go all out to recommend their favourite shows and movies in the latest brand film unveiled by Prime Video as part of the Everyone’s Talking Amazon Prime campaign

    Mumbai: Prime Video, India’s most loved entertainment destination, has rolled out a new, entertaining brand film as a part of its campaign – Everyone’s Talking Amazon Prime. The campaign reinforces the brand’s position as the home for all the shows and movies that everyone’s talking about in India today. Through a high-octane and humorous film, with an appearance by Pankaj Tripathi as the much-loved Kaleen Bhaiyaa from Mirzapur, the ad film underscores the incredible fandom and popularity that Prime Video’s shows and movies enjoy amongst Indian consumers, across all languages and age groups.

    The new brand  film further builds on the  ‘Everyone’s Talking Prime’ campaign that was launched last year with a film featuring Manoj Bajpayee (The Family Man), asking for suggestions on what to watch and getting flooded with a barrage of recommendations. The focus of the new film, like the previous one, is on the fans, who don’t hesitate to jump in (quite literally in this case!) and recommend their favourite titles, to anyone looking for streaming suggestions. The campaign reiterates Prime Video’s philosophy of customer obsession, which ensures that all content on the service deeply resonates with viewers and leaves a lasting impression on them.

    “Our remarkable journey spanning seven years in India has been a testament to our commitment to redefining the entertainment landscape of the country. We have always sought to bring forth authentic storylines and rooted narratives across genres, languages, and formats, that resonate with customers, both locally and globally. A look at the shows and movies launched in just the last year and a half – from Farzi, Jubilee, Bawaal and Dahaad to Indian Police Force, Poacher, Wedding.con, Inspector Rishi, Road House and Fallout, among others, each show or movie has succeeded in becoming someone’s favourite story to recommend,” said Prime Video India country director Sushant Sreeram. “With our latest brand film, we not only celebrate the compelling line-up of shows and movies that we are bringing to customers, but also reflect fan-speak on how these are quickly becoming widely talked about and watched. I am confident our forthcoming line-up will continue to entertain and delight our customers, just the way our shows and movies have done till now.”

    The latest brand film opens to an intense round of wrestling, with each wrestler trying to gain the upper hand when, unexpectedly in the middle of the match, one of them asks the other to recommend something to watch. What follows is a hilarious free-for-all, with coaches, judges, match officials and even the audience jumping into the fray to suggest their own favorite Prime Video show or movie, building a human pyramid in the process. The air reverberates with the names of many fan-favorites and award-winning titles like Indian Police Force, Ae Watan Mere Watan, Bawaal, Dahaad, Farzi, The Boys, Roadhouse, and many more. Amidst the chaos, we see an incredibly calm Pankaj Tripathi in his Kaleen Bhaiyya avatar flanked by two of his men, watching all this action. Unable to resist, he finally consents to recommending Mirzapur, in his typical Kaleen Bhaiya style and also sums up the proceedings with his characteristic voice-over ‘Jo shows aur movies sabki zubaan par, woh sab Amazon Prime par’.

    The film is supported by a 360-degree campaign on TV, digital, social media and outdoor along with social innovations that bring the premise of the film alive. Conceptualized by Manja and the Prime Video creative team, the films have been scripted and produced by Nirvana Films with director Prakash Varma at the helm.

  • 90 per cent of (9 out of 10) Delhi youth witness spike in fake news during elections

    90 per cent of (9 out of 10) Delhi youth witness spike in fake news during elections

    Mumbai: Amidst the spread of misinformation in a digital age, The 23 Watts, a new age communication consulting firm, has released a report that explores the relationship between Delhi Youth, notably Generation Z (Gen Z), and ‘Fake news.’ The report titled ‘Truth Be Told’, examines how the digitally native Gen-Z perceive, consume and navigate the complexities of misinformation.  With over 1,200 respondents aged below 25 years, across Delhi-NCR, ‘Truth Be Told’ covers three broad areas: the influence of misinformation, the experience of coming across fake news, and the opinion of the youth about who is responsible for the Fake News epidemic.  

    The 23 Watts onboarded an external expert, Vijay Ganesan, former director-Analytics & Data Strategy, Europe at Kantar  to verify the methodology applied in the report, Kantar

    ‘Truth be Told’ also sheds light on the Delhi Youth’s social media behaviours, mindsets, and information-sharing patterns, revealing these factors’ impact on their decision-making processes. Released ahead of the General Elections in New Delhi, this report seeks to foster an informed and resilient Gen Z electorate as they play a crucial role in shaping the outcome.

    Some of the key highlights from the report include:

    ●    During national events like elections, 90 per cent of the consensus experiences an increase in fake news.

    ●    91 per cent believe fake news can influence voting decisions.

    ●    80 per cent of the population alters their perceptions and opinions based on fake news influence.

    ●    59 per cent of the consensus fall trap to sensationalism, leading them to share fake news

    ●    Although 95 per cent claim to authenticate news, 45 per cent have shared unauthenticated news later found to be fake.

    ●    Only 29 per cent of individuals authenticate information through fact-checking websites.

    ●    62 per cent of the Delhi Genz consensus believe that fake news not only misleads perceptions but also plays as a tool to mend and damage reputations

    ●    89 per cent believe the government needs to do more to prevent fake news, with 69 per cent suggesting stricter policies are necessary.

    ●    Approximately 66 per cent of the GenZ population relies on internet portals (YouTube, social media, messengers, online articles) for news consumption.

    Putting forth the vision behind the report, Tarundeep Singh, chief growth officer, The 23 Watts,  says, “Born into technology and raised with information at their fingertips, Generation Z is redefining political movements, religion, pop culture, national events, and more. With fake news being at the forefront of all major happenings in the nation, through The 23 Watts Insights Studio, we wanted to understand this shifting focus. The core of our effort is to map and mine the minds of the loud and proud Gen Z to understand the lasting shift in news consumption and the spread of misinformation.”

    The primary research also highlighted that 14 per cent of Delhi Youth tend to share sensational news, without fact-checking, and only based on conjectures. All findings from the report tie back to how the high on hashtags Gen Z is on the loose, and easily swayed by their feed.

    While sharing views on the report, Kantar former director-analytics & data strategy, Europe Vijay Ganesan said, “This research explores these themes in detail with an ideal balance with the Quantitative approach needed for a piece of reliable empirical evidence and equally complemented by in-depth insights unlocked through qualitative research to understand motivations and behaviours. It’s an evolving area of research and this is an attempt to demystify the larger community. I am sure it will unlock more and more such unknowns in its immediate future iterations.”

    In an unprecedented year for elections, out of all the risks, Fake News is one of the major threats that the youth of Delhi face today. The call for Government action is loud, with 48 per cent, demanding tighter policies, 16 per cent appealing for education campaigns to navigate these rough seas and 15 per cent advocating for national fact-checking as a solution. With a shared belief in the importance of digital literacy, the Delhi youth are calling for awareness campaigns and initiatives, arming themselves with knowledge to fight the tides of deception.
