Durga Puja Ecommerce Campaign Guide for Fashion Brands
For Bengal and beyond, Durga Puja is the fashion event of the year — multiple outfits across the days of the festival. Here's how to build a Puja campaign around that 'new outfit per day' behavior, with the sizing that keeps saree and panjabi returns in check.
Puja Campaign Plan
| Day | Outfit moment | Push |
|---|---|---|
| Shoshthi/Saptami | Daytime traditional | Saree & panjabi edit |
| Ashtami | Anjali / dressy | Premium festive looks |
| Nabami | Evening / party | Indo-western |
| Dashami | Sindoor khela red-white | Red-white saree edit |
Notes
Sell the multi-outfit habit. Puja shoppers buy several outfits for the festival's days. Curate a 'looks for every day' edit and bundle across days to lift order value, instead of selling one piece at a time.
Saree blouse and panjabi fit drive returns. Stitched blouses and men's panjabi sizing cause most Puja returns. Provide clear measurement charts and a fit recommender, and offer fast exchanges during the short festival window.
