New product launch

Launch in the districts where it is stocked — not on a national billboard nobody can act on.

Why creators, here

A new SKU fails when awareness lands where the product is not on the shelf. Creator launches on Oye are tied to distribution: you name the pin codes the product has reached, and the platform activates creators only there, in the local language, in the week the stock arrives.

The play

  1. State the intent: trial for a new SKU, in the 40 pin codes where it is stocked, from home cooks and moms, on Reels and Shorts, in launch week.
  2. Ship product to accepted creators; the brief asks for one honest first-use video, not a script.
  3. Stagger posting across the week so each colony hears about it three times, from three people.
  4. Add a kirana-locator line to captions — “available at your nearest store” with the town name.
  5. Read the first-week report by pin code and move budget to where trial is converting.

Creators to activate

Home cooks, moms, tiffin pages, snack reviewers with under 50K followers in the launch districts.

Formats & platforms

First-taste Reels, recipe Shorts, Facebook group posts, kirana shelf stories.

The intent, as you would state it

I want trial for a new masala SKU in 40 pin codes across Nashik and Aurangabad, from home cooks, on Reels + Facebook, in the launch week, in Marathi.

What to measure

  • Saves and shares per pin code
  • Store-locator clicks and retailer call-backs
  • Repeat mentions in week 3 without a brief

Watch-outs

  • Do not launch creators ahead of stock — the fastest way to burn a new SKU.
  • Keep claims to taste and use; nutrition claims need substantiation under ASCI.
