Regional-language consumers are the Indian saree consumers who write about sarees in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Odia, Marathi or Gujarati. They ask what English-speaking consumers ask, price and whether the piece on screen is available, and tell more of their own buying stories. They are one of eight segments in our overview of premium saree consumers in India.
Who are Regional-language saree consumers?
They enquire about a saree about 1.8 times as often as other consumers and talk about price and value more often. They share where they bought, what they paid and what wore badly. They recommend less, so their questions are where a brand meets them.
What do Regional-language consumers say?
- “If you can’t say what the rate is, why are you advertising this?” (translated from Tamil)
- “I want the saree you are wearing.” (translated from Malayalam)
- “Even at such a reputed shop, people get cheated.” (translated from Marathi)
Two of these are about price and availability: a consumer who sees a saree in a video wants that exact saree and its price.
What could saree brands test with Regional-language consumers?
These are ideas to put in front of the segment, not conclusions.
- Replies to comments in the consumer’s own language.
- The price on every video and post.
- A direct way to buy the exact saree shown on screen.
- Clear proof of fabric for consumers who have been cheated before.
