Diwali, the festival of lights, provides brands a unique chance to connect with consumers. In the age of social media, influencer-driven campaigns have become essential for boosting visibility and engagement during the festive season. Here’s how brands can leverage influencers to build better connections during Diwali:
#1 Building Authentic Connections Through Influencers
Festivals evoke emotions, nostalgia, and joy. Successful Diwali campaigns tap into these sentiments, creating long-lasting consumer relationships and fostering brand loyalty. For example, BigBasket’s collaboration with regional and national creators highlights the ease of festive shopping through its app, combining humor and nostalgia to attract audiences. As consumers increasingly use mobile apps, brands should focus on mobile engagement to stay visible during the festivities.
#2 On-Ground Activations with a Purpose
On-ground activations with influencers create impactful real-world experiences and amplify online attention. For example, Paragon’s Diwali campaign, featuring a real-life shoemaker, spread gratitude for artisans. The campaign garnered positive feedback, showcasing how activations can build social impact and brand sentiment.
#3 Driving Engagement with Influencer-Led UGC
User-generated content (UGC) through influencers is highly effective, as these creators connect genuinely with their followers. For example, Lakme promoted its Lumi Lit Cream with around 150 influencers, executing a bulk activation strategy targeting diverse market segments. By partnering with nano and micro creators, they not only boosted product visibility but enhanced the authenticity of the promotion. This is because consumers are more likely to trust recommendations from relatable, everyday influencers.
#4 Boosting Performance Marketing with Influencer Reels
Influencer reels, with their blend of creativity and brand messaging, are powerful for performance marketing. Mia by Tanishq collaborated with baker Shivesh Bhatia, launching its Disco Collection with a disco ball cake, creating a festive, memorable ad. This reel captured attention and boosted engagement, making performance marketing campaigns effective and impactful.
#5 Creating Cultural Resonance Using Influencers
Cultural resonance allows brands to combine tradition with modern identity, sparking meaningful engagement. Lifestyle's campaign during Durga Puja in Kolkata used influencers to showcase collections against vibrant local backdrops, resonating with viewers. Similarly, Vim India celebrated Ugadi with the "Take the Shine Challenge," promoting copper vessels in line with traditional values.
