Top it all off with the Digital India programme aimed at increasing Internet services, and we get a spicy CPA GEO that is a fruitful lead garden for affiliate Nutra campaigns.

    Everyone remembers the hard pandemic 2020 that gave a new rise to online shopping, especially to some categories of goods including beauty products. India wasn’t an exception. The consumer pool has seen a two-fold increase over the initial three pandemic months of  2020 from 22% of active users to 42%, 50% of them came from Tier-1 (Chennai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and others) and Tier-2 (Ahmedabad, Surat, Pune, and Jaipur and others) Indian cities.

    Let’s convert this into rough figures. Considering 329 million digital buyers detected in 2020, 22% of them were approximately 72.3 million internet users whose quantity increased up to 138.2 million (42%) later. 50% that came from large Indian cities translates to 69,1 million internet users. 

    6,000 people were surveyed on their shopping patterns in the last three months in July 2020

    During the lockdown, the online sales statistics had a real blast as the Internet was the only source to make purchases. Moreover, most users still don’t want to reject the possibility of easy and convenient online shopping (generally speaking, the pandemic isn’t over yet), and this tendency keeps being up-to-date.

    E-commerce market trends

    We recommend paying attention to the 3 Indian e-commerce trends when setting up campaigns:

    • Mobile-friendly promotional material. Do you remember about 80% of users that do shopping via their smartphones? They should have clear access to your promotional content. 

    • Chatbots. Increase customers’ engagement and get more leads with the trend of 2019.

    • Video ads. Cut the users’ scroll time for understanding your product’s nature and make them become interested in it.

    Beauty & Personal Care market

    What does it consist of? Medical and pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, cleaning, care and beauty products, nutritions, and medical products like blood pressure monitors form this market segment. There are five key categories of cosmetics and beauty products: body care, face care, hair care, hand care, and color cosmetics.

    The BPC market is supposed to get a $26,853 m revenue this year (2021) with an average per capita spend of $19.27.  It converts into 48.74% of the overall Indian market revenue expected in 2021.

    It is experiencing constant gradual growth and, for now, it’s estimated to be worth $25.9 billion. This isn’t the limit since the Indian shoppers’ per capita expenditures on beauty products are increasing with the sector’s growth.

    Internet users’ peculiarities

    The rural Internet popularity has almost caught up with the urban one in the number of active users due to the lasting digital expansion. Nevertheless, urban internet users are more likely to spend more time on Internet surfing. Indian women utilize the Internet less than males, and the gender gap, as of September 2019, is fairly wide in rural areas of India.

    Note the following cities that have a high concentration of female users: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Delhi. Also, the older population evidently has a low level of Internet usage.

    Social Media, Mobile Apps & Websites usage (aka Indian traffic sources)

    In 2020, WhatsApp led the top mobile traffic sources chart, having surpassed Facebook that was ranked second. 96% of Indians primarily utilize the app for daily communication.

    WhatsApp had a pool of 400 million users from India in 2020 and implemented its payment platform approved by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in the country in February 2020. Facebook had 260 million active users all over India with a lot of traffic came from Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru

    It’s needed to be noted that Instagram took 8th place despite being popular globally. At the start of 2020, Instagram had 80 million Indian people using it, most of them were youths aged 18-24. 

    Let’s study the traffic charts of late. In January 2021 the following sites and figures were recorded:

    https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/india/
    https://gs.statcounter.com/social-media-stats/all/india

    The statistic shows that generally the most Indian traffic came to:

    1. Facebook
    2. YouTube
    3. Pinterest 
    4. Google

    So pick the traffic sources accordingly with the eye kept on types of traffic:

    Facebook received mostly mobile and tablet traffic while desktop-traffic users preferred visiting Pinterest. The users of all traffic types favor YouTube that, as reported in January 2020, had 265 million active users across India. Here is one more mark: 95% of the YouTube content was both Indian and Bengali videos. 

    By the way, Pinterest can be a fine source of getting huge traffic even for free! Before your eyes start shining, we should make you understand that free traffic sources are usually overloaded which means you will face a feed of affiliate rivals there. Anyway, if you up for trying, we got a quite helpful article for you – CPA campaign without investments 2.0.

    🔴 Red-light images

    First, it’s very important to determine what pics must be eliminated from your creative ideas.

    • National flag
    • Photos of healthcare specialists 

    🟡 Yellow-light images

    Yeah, there is such a kind of photos. What to do with it? The snaps below are allowed, but they mustn’t be insulting or gravely violate laws or policies.
    We don’t give advice, we’re just telling you about a possible option of using them.

    • Hindu Goddesses
    • Sacred Animals
    • Celebrities (btw, Indians tend to greatly rely on their endorsement of a brand) 

    🟢 Green-light images

    The snaps of this type are allowed in advertising and, what’s more, recommended being used in it:

    • Local or South Asian people 

    Creative-making techniques

    You know perfectly that motivational CTA works its excellent results. A text put in your creative can make your would-be lead stick to an ad or bounce off it. This also concerns the rest elements of a creative. Look through some useful techniques for designing your creative material for the Indian market. 

    1. Promotional claim. “Buy 1, get 1” – which means a customer will get an extra item after buying the same one;

    2. Public experience. “Hundreds of customers have already seen the effect”, why don’t a user become a happy customer too?

    3. Bright colors. Use them to drag Indians’ attention;

    4. Facts or Figures. “– 10 years/kilos with/in …”  They can be persuasive only when they are rational;

    5. Deceiving yet nice statement. “No wrinkles in 1 minute”. Although everyone understands that it’s false, people get the main idea of your product at once;

    6. Life involvement. Your ad should give solutions to the common people’s problems at the first touch;

    7. Metaphorical solution. Sometimes it’s better to give a clue to a solution in an imaginary or even a bit funny way.

    Sum up

    Wide audience coverage possible thanks to the digitalization that India has been experiencing for 5 years, the growing Beauty and Healthcare market, many new users started shopping online make India the sweet territory to step in for collecting leads. 

    Affordable ad cost makes it even sweeter! Why wait? Grab the offers and discover Indian GEO beyond the article (but with the help of it)!
