Marketplace marketing · Flipkart

Flipkart is not Amazon with a different logo.

Different buyer, different price psychology, different ad products. Most brands copy the campaign across anyway.

What actually goes wrong

The most common Flipkart mistake we see is a duplicate. Someone exports the Amazon campaign, swaps the platform, and then wonders why the same structure came out worse. The two marketplaces do not share a buyer. Flipkart reaches further into tier two and tier three, moves harder on price, exchange and bank offers, and concentrates a lopsided share of the year into a small number of event weeks.

That concentration is the part that quietly breaks budgets. If the weeks that decide your year are Big Billion Days and the festive run, then your ad plan is a calendar problem before it is a daily budget problem. Money spread flat across twelve months is money that was not there in the week it mattered. We build the year backwards from the event calendar and hold a reserve for it.

The work itself is unglamorous. Catalogue quality, because Flipkart's own ranking rewards it and no bid compensates for a weak listing quality score. Product Listing Ads and Product Contrast Ads structured and bid separately rather than merged into one blob. Share of voice bidding when the category gets crowded. Offer construction, because on Flipkart the offer regularly out-performs the creative.

This runs inside the same team as your Meta, Google and Amazon work, which means one report at the end of the month instead of four dashboards that disagree with each other. Nine years in business, twelve or more developers, and an office in Thane you are welcome to sit in.

Illustrative numbers. The point is the shape, not the figure. We plan backwards from the events and keep the reserve to fight there.

What we do

  • Catalogue and listing quality score work, which is where Flipkart ranking actually starts
  • Product Listing Ads and Product Contrast Ads, structured and bid as the separate things they are
  • The event calendar: Big Billion Days and the festive run planned and reserved for months ahead
  • Offer and pricing construction, including exchange and bank offer mechanics
  • Share of voice bidding when the category gets crowded
  • Fulfilment and F-Assured effects on conversion, factored in before we set targets

What we do not do

  • We do not copy your Amazon account across and call it a Flipkart strategy.
  • We do not bid into an event week without an agreed ceiling. Event weeks are where budgets vanish quietest.
  • We do not take on a catalogue we are not allowed to fix. If the listings are the problem, ads are the wrong purchase.

What founders ask us

FAQ

We already sell on Amazon. Is Flipkart worth the effort?

Usually yes, and usually for a different customer than the one you already have. What is not worth the effort is running Flipkart as an afterthought with a copied campaign and no catalogue work, which is the version most brands try first.

When should we start if we want to be ready for Big Billion Days?

Earlier than feels necessary. Catalogue, listing quality and offer approvals take weeks, and bidding into an event with a listing you have not fixed is the most expensive way to learn this.

Do you manage the listings or just the advertising?

Both. On Flipkart in particular the listing quality score feeds organic ranking directly, so treating ads and catalogue as separate jobs leaves most of the result on the table.

What does it cost?

₹50,000 a month for the full package, content and performance and marketplace together. The quarterly option is the same scope plus a custom website and email and WhatsApp automation.
