Festive Season Marketing Plan for Indian Brands

Festive seasons bring India's biggest buying moments, and the most competition.

6–8 weeks before

• Plan offers, gift packs and inventory.
• Book shoots and creators.

3–4 weeks before

• Launch teasers and gift guides.
• Build retargeting audiences.

1–2 weeks before

• Push offers, urgency and delivery cut-offs.
• Scale best-performing ads.

During and after

• Remind about last delivery dates.
• Thank customers and request reviews.
• Plan follow-up for repeat orders.

Tips

• Prepare creatives early.
• Make gifting easy with combos and messages.
• Check courier timelines.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Sending paid traffic to the homepage instead of a focused landing page
• Following up leads hours or days too late
• Spreading a small budget across too many channels
• Letting the agency own your ad accounts

Quick checklist before you start

• Landing page that matches the offer
• Conversion tracking tested end to end
• Accounts and data in your business name
• Clear goal and budget for the next three months
• A follow-up process for every enquiry

Key takeaway

A timeline-based plan for Diwali and festive campaigns, from early teasers to post-festival follow-up. Start with one clear goal, measure results from day one and keep accounts and data in your own name, so you stay in control whatever partner you work with.
