In this interaction with Adgully, Sumedha Jain, Marketing and Communications Head at Madame, shares her insights into the evolving consumer landscape and unveils Madame’s core strategies for connecting with consumers, staying true to the brand’s ethos of quality, comfort, and authentic celebration.
The festive season this year has been a celebratory period for Madame as it strengthened its marketing activities. While observing that the festive season in India is typically marked by a surge in consumer spending and optimism, Jain remarked that this year, a nuanced shift towards premium products was observed. “While there’s a strong desire for celebrations and new purchases, consumers are also prioritizing value for money and are seeking premium products at competitive prices. Consumers are feeling more confident and are willing to invest in products that offer durability and long-term benefits.”
Further elaborating on the focus on embracing authenticity, Jain mentioned the following strategy that the brand has adopted this year:

Thus, keeping this in mind, Madame also curated festive editions of products at market-friendly prices. The festive offerings provided a premium yet accessible way to celebrate the season.
- Targeting demographically, potential, and existing customers: Madame recently conducted in-store events with fashion influencers in Kolkata and Siliguri.
- Campaign strategy: To resonate with the brand’s social media family, Madame launched a campaign, ‘Be The Shine’, with a message that encouraged empowering one’s inner vibe and shining out in style. The autumn-winter fashion campaign, ‘Stay Real’, was launched ahead of the festive season to ensure customers could get the new looks that they were really looking forward to during the festive season. The campaign focused on the theme of embracing authenticity, highlighting how Madame’s collection blends the brand philosophy with the customers’ sentiments and celebratory mood.
