In such a scenario, retailers should consider offering freebies or running a lucky draw campaign. It will help convert a warm lead to a customer sooner. Some of our partners give personalized offers locally, like pairing TVs with soundbars, offering silver coins and running lucky draws. These initiatives are showing results and adding to the sales reported by these partners. Other partners can also use these techniques to scale-up business quickly during the festive season.”
