Facebook covers almost 95% of digital marketing campaigns in social media of major players like Junglee and Cashkaro.com
Investing over two schemes:
Facebook Ads and Promoted Posts
Facebook ads has been a top performer in creating brand awareness and boosting our offers through Promoted Posts.
Therefore we propose an investment of 10 lacson this social media.
10 Lacs
FB Ads – 4
Lacs
Promoted
Posts – 6 lacs
• FB Ads have a broader reach including newer masseswhile Promoted Posts only appears if some of the FBfriends have engaged with the post or the pagepreviously.
• Although limited but Promoted Posts have a strongerimpact due to more trustworthiness through commonconnections.
FB Ads – 4 Lacs
Cost is analysed on CPM basis which is similar to any normal CPM (source: www.jonloomer.com)
Daily Avg. Budget = 4 Lacs/ 90 days = Rs 4400 /day
Taking CPM = Rs 50 as of Google Adwords
Total No. of Impressions = 4400*1000/50=88,000/day

Allocated less than Facebook because conversion rate is 38% whereas that for Facebook is 89%
Facebook is regarded as a better site for promoting brand awareness than google(source- www.jonloomer.com)
Google adwords is inevitable and important as it caters to a larger mass, even to those who are not present in Facebook.

Search Network Budget: Rs 4200/dayNo. of clicks= 4200/ CPC = 4200 / 8
= 525/day (through all the paid keywords earlier mentioned) Display Network Budget: Rs 2400 /dayNo. of impressions= 2400*1000/CPM
= 2400*1000/50 = 48000 impressions /day
Assuming a low CTR of 1% we get 480 clicks per daythrough impressions.
Total Clicks = 1005/day (source for CPM and CPC: www.moz.com)
An innovative marketing strategy for youtube can be to advertise our brand and the cashback concept through online series being overwhelmingly appreciated by people across India.
Emotional Atya-charge, a video by TVF generated 22,00,000 views over 1.7 yrs in a mere cost of Rs 5Lacs to Freecharge for getting itself publicised.
Investing into productions like these can increase our reach manifolds than a normal ad on youtube would do. These productions have the potential of publicising any brand, at the same time telling people about the service that it offers as a part of their storyline. This would be an efficient way to compel people to use our service.
An investment in such a production can amount to Rs 5 lacs giving us an approach to more than 5 lacs viewers in 2 to 3 months thus costing us a rupee per view which is way cheaper than a youtube ad which may cost approximately Rs 15 per view.
