    Instamart Advertising Best Practices

    Target Bangalore First

    Bangalore is Swiggy's HQ and strongest Instamart market. Test campaigns here first before scaling to other cities.

    Combine Ads with Offers

    Products with active discounts see 2–3x higher CTR. Pair sponsored listings with 10–15% off or buy-1-get-1 offers.

    Focus on Peak Hours

    Instamart order peaks: 8–11 AM (morning grocery), 5–8 PM (evening snacks), and weekends. Concentrate ad spend during these windows.

    Leverage Seasonal Events

    Participate in Swiggy's platform-wide events (Big Savings Days, Festival Sales). These drive 3–5x normal traffic to Instamart.

    Optimize Listings Before Ads

    Ensure product titles, images, and descriptions are optimized before running ads. Poor listings waste ad budget.

    Monitor & Iterate Weekly

    Track ROAS, CTR, and conversion rates weekly. Pause underperformers and reallocate to top SKUs.
