One of the major reasons why advertising experts think this festive season is going to be great is due to the pent-up demand, fueled by the prolonged period of Covid-19 induced lockdown and the uncertainty. And this sentiment is well reflected in the chart above. The percentage of people wanting to spend higher is more than the percentage of people who want to spend INR 25,000 and lower as compared to last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_categories_are_people_expected_to_spend_the_most_during_the_festive_season\"><\/span>Which categories are people expected to spend the most during the festive season?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qe-1-981x1024.png?resize=740%2C772&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Top shopping categories during festive season 2020\" class=\"wp-image-17564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qe-1.png?resize=981%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 981w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qe-1.png?resize=287%2C300&amp;ssl=1 287w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qe-1.png?resize=768%2C802&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qe-1.png?w=1117&amp;ssl=1 1117w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The top shopping categories that are expected to be in high demand this year remain the same more or less but the priorities have changed significantly. Few major notable changes we can see are:<br><strong>More focus on home: <\/strong>Since the majority of people spent this entire year at home and even in the following months, they expect this trend to remain unchanged, many people have expressed their interest in buying home-related products like home appliances and home furnishings.<br><strong>Avoiding high-ticket items?: <\/strong>Though people are open to making purchases this festive season, high-ticket items like jewelry can be seen much lower in the priority list of the shoppers.<br><strong>Gift packs high on the priority list<\/strong>: This time of the year is all about celebrations and sharing especially this year when people are looking forward to having some positivity in the otherwise gloomy year, sharing gifts seems to be one of the top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_plan_to_shop_this_festive_season\"><\/span>How do you plan to shop this festive season?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qr-1-1024x608.png?resize=740%2C439&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Festive shopping planning 2020- InMobi Festive Shopping Guide 2020\" class=\"wp-image-17565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qr-1.png?resize=1024%2C608&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qr-1.png?resize=300%2C178&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qr-1.png?resize=768%2C456&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qr-1.png?w=1104&amp;ssl=1 1104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>72% of respondents have either not planned their shopping or are undecided on the category and product as compared to 43% last year. This can be a good news for brands who have opportunity to influence the audience decision through advertising and promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_would_people_start_planning_their_festive_season_shopping_this_year\"><\/span>When would people start planning their festive season shopping this year?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qt-1-1024x768.png?resize=740%2C555&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"When would people start planning their festive season shopping this year- InMobi Festive Shopping Guide\" class=\"wp-image-17566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qt-1.png?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qt-1.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qt-1.png?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/qt-1.png?w=1042&amp;ssl=1 1042w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As compared to 2019, there is a delay in terms of planning for the festive season shopping. More than 50% of shopping would be planned after Dussehra this year as compared to 60% before Dussehra last year. This can be probably attributed to the uncertainty around the economy and the Covid-19 situation. But this also shows that people are hopeful for things to get better with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TRA%E2%80%99s_Buying_Propensity_Report\"><\/span>TRA&#8217;s Buying Propensity Report<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>TRA Research is a consumer insights and brand intelligence company that has come up with Diwali 2020 Buying Propensity Report. The report is based on a survey conducted during Jun-Jul 2020 covering more than 500 respondents across 16 Indian cities belonging to SEC A1, A2, B1, and B2. The two major questions answered by the report are:<br><strong>What product categories are people keen to purchase this Diwali season?<br>Where do they want to buy items from this Diwali season?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report has placed various product categories under 4 quadrants named as \u201cVery High Priority\u201d, \u201cHigh Priority\u201d, \u201cMedium Priority\u201d and \u201cLow Priority\u201d based on people&#8217;s keenness to purchase a product compared to their plan to buy it. The findings in the report matched that of the In-Mobi report where the top priority purchases were as following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Very High Priority:<\/strong> Apparels, Mobile phones, Consumer electronics, Two Wheelers<br><strong>High Priority:<\/strong> Home furniture, Jewellery, Television<br><strong>Medium Priority:<\/strong> Laptops, Kitchen appliances, Car, Personal accessories<br><strong>Low Priority:<\/strong> Home renovation, Health insurance, Travel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-related restrictions have made people spend more time at home and avoid traveling. While those with private vehicles are okay to travel to long distance, the fear of coming in contact with a lot of people, centralized air-conditioning, etc, are also factors that have made people prefer local neighborhood stores over departmental stores, supermarkets and malls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.themediaant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Picture5.png?resize=410%2C391&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17585\" width=\"410\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Picture5.png?w=820&amp;ssl=1 820w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Picture5.png?resize=300%2C286&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themediaant.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Picture5.png?resize=768%2C731&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" title=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Festive_Season_Advertising_Then_and_Now\"><\/span>Festive Season Advertising : Then and Now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the world is divided about the fate of businesses during the festive season, we would definitely agree that we haven&#8217;t witnessed this kind of situation before and to predict the consumer behavior in this situation is an uphill task. One way that we could think of was looking at Onam 2019 and recently concluded Onam 2020 to understand how the trends have changed over the one year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onam is the biggest festival of Kerala that takes place during the month of August\/September which is very close to the nationwide festive season. Hence, it can act as the best surrogate for us to predict the trend during the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Onam_2019_Print_Advertising_saw_a_high_growth\"><\/span>Onam 2019: Print Advertising saw a high growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Overall, Print, Television and Radio witnessed a growth of about 149%, 43% and 43% respectively during Onam 2019 over Onam 2018.<\/li><li>The top 10 categories accounted for 35% share of ad volumes during onam in 2019 with category Retail Outlets-Jewellers leading the chart.<\/li><li>60% of the advertising share belonged to the top 10 advertisers with HUL being the biggest advertiser.<\/li><li>In print advertising, consumer durables\/home appliances was the top category.<\/li><li>In radio advertising, 4 out of top 10 categories belonged to retail sector with Samsung India Electronics being the top brand.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of creative, one common theme across the advertisements during Onam 2019 was celebrating the culture of Kerala and association of Onam festival with values like equality, caring, sharing and following tradition. Brands like Munch and Milkybar even had their own special Onam packaging. Some of the noteworthy ads from Onam 2019:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mom&#8217;s Magic Onam 2019 ad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mom&#039;s Magic Onam\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I8FayQ5lWo4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nestle Munch&#8217;s Onam 2019 ad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nestl\u00e9 Munch Onam\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l2mzc8Huyuw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nestle Milkybar&#8217;s Onam 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MILKYBAR\u00aewishes a Happy Onam!\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GqEHJVhQQAo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Onam_2020_Advertising_The_return_of_Print_Digital_and_Television\"><\/span>Onam 2020 Advertising: The return of Print, Digital and Television<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>While we are yet to get details for the months of August and September, the Kerala market witnessed steady growth during the month of July 2020.<\/li><li>Print, Television, and Radio adex experienced a growth of 20%, 16%, and a dip of 13% respectively over June 2020.<\/li><li>The top 5 categories for print advertising in July 2020 are: Automobile-4 wheelers, Education-Multiple courses, Automobile-2 wheelers, Lotteries, Retail-Jewellers<\/li><li>The top 5 advertisers in print advertising are Dept of Lotteries, Hero Motocorp, HUL, Haier Appliances, and Maruti Suzuki India<\/li><li>On television, 8 out of the top 10 categories belonged to FMCG with a 35% share of ad volumes.<\/li><li>The top 5 advertisers on TV in July 2020 were HUL, ITC, Cadburys India, Reckitt Benckiser India, and Wipro.<\/li><li>The top 5 categories on the radio in July 2020 were LIC India, KSFE (Kerala State Financial Enterprises), Manjali, Maruti Suzuki India, and Amazon Online India.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows that the festive vibes have indeed lifted the consumer sentiments. However, this might not have translated into a significant rise in advertising spends. According to industry experts, Onam ad spends are expected to be 65-70% of that of the last year, driven by the gold and jewelry sector, the auto sector, consumer durables, textiles, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, the Onam ads had a speacial touch. Apart from celebrating the spirit of Onam, the ads also included glimpses of the new normal. The ads recognized the constraints we are in like social distancing, being away from loved ones, the hard work of front line workers etc. Some of the examples are given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parachute Advansed Onam 2020 Ad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Parachute Advansed | #ThankYouNurses\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/772UldbHQjs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yardley Onam 2020 Ad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Yardley | Onam Ad | Malayalam | 2020\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jY-EqW0SsWg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jos Alukkas Onam 2020 Ad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jos Alukkas-Ullilaanu Onam\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wiN2jDERICw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude what we learned above,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Though the Covid-19 situation has forced all advertisers to lie low for the last 6 months, festive season marks their revival, even though at a smaller scale than before.

The advertising mix during Onam 2019 and Onam 2020 do not show a major change.<\/li><li>In terms of message, brands have succesfully tried to include the reality of the current situation along with the usual positivity and warmth around the festivals.

Following are some pointers to note regarding this study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The Media Ant website receives close to a million visitors per year. Most of the visitors are advertisers and SME business owners. Hence, looking at the visitors&#8217; data for TMA website can be indicative of the overall advertising trend.<\/li><li>For this study we would pick the website visitor data for the period of Aug-Oct 2019 that coincides with the peak of festive season last year and compare it with Jun-Aug 2020, 3 months following Covid-19 induced total lockdown and preceding the festive season 2020. As we know that during Covid-19, most advertising platforms except television and digital were badly affected. Looking at the TMA traffic data for the last 3 months can be a good indicator of the shifts that happened during the pandemic.<\/li><li>At the same time, we need to understand that the data we are going to obtain would only help us to form a hypothesis and the accuracy of the deduction would require additional data to be confirmed due to the following reasons:<ul><li>The data we would be seeing is based on the TMA website pages (where users would land first).
