Always-on kirana presence

The product that is mentioned every week is the product that gets picked up every week.

Why creators, here

FMCG is a frequency business. Between launches and festivals the brand needs to stay in the neighbourhood conversation, and that is cheaper with a standing squad of nano creators than with monthly bursts. On Oye, always-on is a recurring intent with a fixed creator pool and a weekly read.

The play

  1. Set a monthly intent per region: a fixed number of posts, a rotating theme (breakfast, tiffin, evening snack).
  2. Keep a stable squad of 30–60 nano and micro creators per region for at least a quarter.
  3. Give creators a monthly calendar, not weekly briefs — they plan better and post more naturally.
  4. Rotate product focus so the squad covers the whole range over a quarter.
  5. Use the weekly read to retire weak performers and add new ones from the same pin codes.

Creators to activate

A stable local squad — home cooks, moms, everyday-life pages — per region.

Formats & platforms

Short Reels and Shorts, Facebook group posts, Facebook Reels in regional languages.

The intent, as you would state it

I want an always-on presence for a biscuit range across Uttar Pradesh tier-2 towns, 200 posts a month from a fixed squad, in Hindi and Bhojpuri, on Reels and Facebook.

What to measure

  • Posts per month vs target
  • Brand mentions in comments without a brief
  • Retailer sell-through in squad pin codes

Watch-outs

  • Fatigue: rotate themes and formats or the squad starts repeating itself.
  • Pay on time — always-on lives on creator goodwill.
