    ShopClues’ new campaign aims at creating experience of market against mall shopping

    NEW DELHI: A quirky brand campaign has been launched by the marketing app ShopClues to break the clutter in the realm of e-commerce with its value-for-money shopping experience.

    #MallNahiMarket is a 360-degree media campaign, which reinforces ShopClues’ market positioning as a mass brand. The campaign offers shoppers an experience of an Indian street market with competitive pricing and a wide assortment. 

    ShopClues’ latest TVC depicts a happy Indian shopper who dances to the tunes of “Yeh Mall Nahi Hai, Market Hai, Yeh Good for the Pocket Hai.” This happy-go-lucky character celebrating bargains at ShopClues represents the company’s shoppers who are bargain-hunters and love a bazaar-like experience.

    The communication route is meant to strike a chord with ShopClues’ consumers who rely on pricing across the ShopClues website and mobile app.

    The TVC illustrates that the ShopClues’ app is perfectly poised to give customers the most authentic market experience online which reiterates its communication – “Market in your Pocket.”

    ShopClues plans to roll out three TVCs for its leading categories namely Fashion, Home & Kitchen, and Electronics. The ad films have been created and conceptualised by Mumbai-based Enormous Brands.

    As a part of the promotions, ShopClues is also the co-presenting sponsor for the Asia Cup 2016 and will be running its new brand campaign across all channels to maximise visibility. 

    Talking about the new brand campaign, ShopClues AVP Marketing Nitin Agarwal said, “Through the new ad campaign, our key endeavour is to reinstate ShopClues’ brand positioning as the ultimate marketplace for the value-conscious shoppers. We want to emphasise on replicating the Bazaar-like familiarity & experience on the online and mobile platforms. On our platform customers can expect the biggest product range & price points that remind them of their favourite markets. This USP of our brand is what we wish to drive home through our latest TVCs.”

    Enormous Brands managing partner Ashish Khazanchi added, “While shopping at a mall is a concept from the west, shopping at a market isa more culturally-rooted experience for most Indians. To cut through the clutter of online malls, ShopClues has always drawn a parallel to bazaar experiences that appeal to the masses. #MallNahiMarket aims to meet the consumer expectations and does so in a relatable and colloquial tone and manner.”

  • ShopClues launches TVC on Sunday Flea Market

    ShopClues launches TVC on Sunday Flea Market

    The campaign shows how consumers gasp with disbelief when they see the discounts on offer.

     

    MUMBAI: ShopClues has rolled out another witty and engaging TVC to highlight the incredible propositions offered on its Sunday Flea Market. Through the ad film, ShopClues showcases how shoppers gasp with disbelief when they check out the discounts and deals on this exclusive sale property.

     

    The new TVC created and conceptualised by Enormous Brands plays on the popular Indian notion that when someone remembers you, you start hiccupping ceaselessly. The ad film shows a woeful man called “Bhai Sahab” who suffer this fate every Sunday when people around the country see the deals on offer on the Sunday Flea Market and let out the popular expression of surprise in India, “Oh Bhai Sahab.” In a most endearing and relatable way, the TVC illustrates how unbelievable the offers are during this ShopClues property. The core idea is encapsulated in the final message of the creative, “Duniya bhar ka aflatooni samaan, kuch aflatooni rates par.”

     

    Speaking on the campaign, ShopClues.com CBO and co-founder Radhika Aggarwal said, “The ShopClues Sunday Flea Market has been a tremendous success since its launch. It appeals to the common Indian who is used to shopping at delightful price points from local bazaars on specific days of the week. We have emulated this delight on the online platform and through this TVC we want to garner greater mindshare for this one-of-its-kind online flea market. The idea is to get more and more shoppers to check this property out and fulfil all their needs at the best possible prices!”

     

    Enormous Brands managing partner Ashish Khazanchi added, “The Sunday flea market offers unbelievable deals on everyday products. ‘Unbelievable’ being the starting point, we used the exclamation “oh bhai saab” to portray the same. The commercial shows a hapless ‘bhai saab’ hiccuping incessantly on Sundays, when people inadvertently call out his name. We see the kinds of products available, and humorously establish Sunday as SFM day in the minds of the customers.”

  • ShopClues to get aggressive with its marketing activities

    ShopClues to get aggressive with its marketing activities

    MUMBAI: Looks like the Indian e-commerce businesses are speeding towards rapid transformation. While giants like Flipkart and Amazon are busy making announcements about funding, other players in the space are looking at changing their marketing strategies.

     

    ShopClues, an online marketplace has announced the launch of its end-to-end advertising and branding roadmap to gain top-of-the-mind recall in the Indian e-commerce segment.

     

    The brand has already carved a strong niche for itself in the Indian e-tailing space with over 65,000 merchants powering an extensive selection of 5.3 million products across 3000 listing categories.

     

    It is now ready with a full-fledged branding and mass communication campaign to further its penetration and recall in broader geographies and demographics. To achieve this objective, ShopClues has engaged partners across functions to lead its large-scale consumer engagement campaign.

     

    Enormous Brands, headed by advertising veteran, Ashish Khazanchi, has been appointed as its creative partner. The media planning and buying activities have been assigned to Exposure which is headed by Rajul Kulshrestha. The public relations mandate has been assigned to Value 360 Communications, headed by Kunal Kishore Sinha.

     

    A few months back, the platform got on board Shweta Jain as brand strategy consultant to kick start the accelerated mode of branding and advertising initiatives.

     

    ShopClues co-founder & CMO Radhika Ghai Aggarwal said, “We observed early on that our country has millions of small merchants with interesting products and we Indians love to shop in local bazaars. This is the basic and defining essence of our product. At ShopClues, we’ve built properties like the Sunday flea market, wholesale, cash-before-delivery, factory outlet, keeping the orientation of our shoppers and their comfort zones in mind. We have an approach to merchandising which is unprecedented. Our build-up is focused on extensive unstructured products categories, offerings and unique cataloging.”

     

    ShopClues claims to have spent less than US $10 million to reach the status of India’s fifth largest, while every other company in the top five list has spent an over ten times the amount.

     

    While ShopClues covers a broad range of products, prices, categories, brands, and sellers, it specialises in non-standard categories, unbranded products or less-known brands, smaller merchants, and tier II and tier III cities.

     

    Unstructured products account for over 75 per cent of the Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV). It is thus a combination of a discovery and transaction-enabling engine. In addition to strong traction and a very well-developed marketplace ecosystem, it also has an unmatchable cost advantage and rapidly improving fundamentals – the company is close to gross margin break-even and will be operating margin positive by March 2015.
