Swiggy, established in 2014 and headquartered in Bangalore, is one of India's largest online food ordering and delivery platforms, operating across 500+ cities. As a key player in India's startup ecosystem, Swiggy holds the prestigious status of being a Unicorn Startup.
With a single app offering access to a diverse range of restaurants, Swiggy caters to the evolving needs of food enthusiasts nationwide. In addition to facilitating food delivery, Swiggy expanded its services to include on-demand grocery deliveries through Instamart and same-day package deliveries via Swiggy Genie.
Amidst the competitive online food delivery landscape, Swiggy aimed to boost its user engagement and stimulate growth within the inactive user segment- those who downloaded the app but hadn't made any transactions. Collaborating with VEVE, a performance marketing partner specializing in on-device advertising, Swiggy initiated a journey to rejuvenate its user base and amplify orders from dormant users within a year.
With competition mounting, Swiggy sought innovative strategies to stand out in a market saturated with options and maintain its leadership in the online food delivery industry. The brand realised that solely relying on traditional advertising platforms like search and social media wouldn't suffice. Hence, they sought to explore OEM advertising, which offers access to high-engagement touchpoints on smartphones, with the aim to stimulate dormant users to interact with the Swiggy app in a seamless and non-intrusive manner.
The primary objective of Swiggy's retargeting campaign, facilitated by VEVE, was to reactivate dormant users who had installed the Swiggy app but had not placed any orders in the last 90 days. The aim was to reignite user engagement and drive increased order counts from this segment.
VEVE devised a multi-faceted retargeting strategy to effectively engage dormant users for Swiggy.
