The content strategy we observed
Creators open on a real need, show the product in use, then point to Flipkart's sale link.
Each starts with a problem or a scene: 'Why does my hair look so good?', a stained white shirt, a festive outfit, a son asking for an AC in winter.#2 #3 #5
Show the product working, then name Flipkart or its sale: hair lathered in the bathroom, Ariel Power Gel on the stain, three Navratri looks modelled in turn.#1 #2 #3
Close-ups of the product, one creator, one item per video; a serum video ends by telling viewers to comment for the link.#3 #4
Casual, friend-to-friend. The AC skit plays it for laughs as a son bargaining with his mother.#1 #5
The top videos went up between Oct 1 and Oct 7: all 3 before Google searches peaked on Oct 8. Social views peaked on Oct 6.#1 #2 #3
Open on a daily pain, show the product fixing it in one shot, and tell people where to get the sale price.
