    Urban Indians are most likely to notice endorsements of mobile phones and clothes on social media

    Mumbai: Among the various categories of products and services endorsed by social media influencers, YouGov’s new research found that urban Indians are “a lot likely” to notice endorsements for mobile phones (46 per cent) and clothes (45 per cent).

    In comparison to this, each of the 38 per cent think they are a little likely to notice such endorsements, while 12 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively, think they are not at all influenced by such testimonials.

    25- to 34-year-olds are most likely among the different age groups to notice mobile phone endorsements by social media influencers (53 per cent); those in the age group of 35 to 44 years are most likely to take notice of endorsements for clothes (at 54 per cent).

    When it comes to groceries and food items, 39 per cent urban Indians claim they get influenced a lot by influencer endorsements, while for 37 per cent the influence is a little.

    For other categories, such as tech devices, media streaming services, healthcare products, out-of-home entertainment, cosmetics, air travel, and financial investments, the influence is more likely to be little than a lot.

    Data shows there is some polarity visible for categories such as video games and tickets for sporting events. While 24 per cent of urban Indians say they are very likely to notice such endorsements for each of the categories, just as many (28 per cent each) say they do not get influenced at all.

    Gambling and bookmaking services are the only categories where 42 per cent respondents are more likely to say they do not get influenced at all than the respective 31 per cent and 16 per cent say they get a little or a lot.

  • Flipkart Grocery nudges Indian households to not compromise on quality

    Flipkart Grocery nudges Indian households to not compromise on quality

    Mumbai: Homegrown e-commerce marketplace Flipkart has announced the launch of its latest digital campaign for Flipkart Grocery – a category that continues to see exponential year-on-year growth. With this latest campaign titled ‘Aapki Pasand pe Super bachat’, Flipkart aims to establish the marketplace platform as the “best destination” for buying groceries online.

    Flipkart conducted extensive research ahead of the campaign launch, which determined how one of the key factors for a seamless e-grocery buying experience is high-quality products coupled with value-driven constructs.

    The campaign starts with a homemaker in an Indian household with a ‘well-kept secret’ on how she procures the best quality of daal that she uses. It further shows how the homemaker understands everyone’s taste and ensures that she is bringing the best groceries in her house which are considered the favorite by her whole family. Through the campaign, Flipkart establishes that grocery purchases affect everyone in the household and hence, the ‘secret’ should be to ensure that the household has access to a range of their choice of high-quality products at affordable prices.

    Flipkart Grocery VP Smrithi Ravichandran said, “Understanding the requirements of Indian consumers and catering to them is what Flipkart is known for. With this latest campaign, we want to highlight how our platform is able to bring the highest quality of products that undergo stringent quality checks, over and above the mandatory checks, to consumers across the country. Today, not just in metro cities but consumers from over 1,800 cities have access to e-grocery services that meet their standards of shopping while giving them a value-driven experience.”
