Challenge:
The challenge was not just to create a buzz but engage a loyal Facebook community
with our unadulterated, pure & quality products. Also, Sahara Q Shop is:
1. A completely new model, competing on various fronts with not only
manufacturers but retailers as well. This includes the likes of Big Bazaar,
Walmart, Reliance Fresh etc.
2. Catering to both Tier 1 and Tier 2 audiences as it has products from various
categories and a number of options in each category as well. The audience needs
to be educated about the same.
3. Bearing a lot of negative sentiment on its name in terms of consumer perception.
The idea is to steadily combat the same by focusing on the brand, its products
and the overall image of the group in the social space.
4. Focussing not solely on reach, but to build influence and a certain level of
credibility amongst its customers.
Agency Name:
Brandlogist Communications
Brandlogist’s Strategy:
1. Rather than going all out, we took to a scaled approach for Q-Shop. Our focus was
just on the right people and conversations rather than a vast media outreach.
2. In order to establish a strong Brand Influence and mould the Negative Sentiment,
we went ahead with educating our customers first and then up-scaling the reach
of the brand.
Commenting on the strategy, Garima Obrah, Brand Analyst for Q-Shop said, “Social
Media can be used to steadily change consumer perceptions and the way brands can up-
scale their marketing efforts via this medium, it’s kind of unapproachable in any other.
With our strategy in place, we’re looking at a wider engagement for the brand on these
platforms so that the consumers feel the connect and are thus drawn towards it.”
How we achieved it:
1. In the first month itself, we achieved a Klout Score higher than an HUL and fast-
approaching the mass brand Big Bazaar.

2. 2. Successfully distilled our TG and struck conversations with consumers who are
open to the brand and its philosophy.
3. Used Facebook as a medium, to target the brand aficionados by focussing on
content in a fun way i.e. showcasing the products through Viral Videos and
fuelling them with a little media budget to get the initial set of right customers.

3. 4. Have started engaging people with a high Twitter Influence with the brand and
its philosophy to strengthen the initial credibility base.
