Brand promotional activities: FAQ
What are brand promotional activities?
They are on-ground, below-the-line campaigns that bring your brand face to face with customers: mall and society activations, roadshows, look walkers, kiosks, in-store promotions, sampling and events. Unlike mass media, they create direct interaction and measurable results at each location.
How quickly can TopHawks launch a brand promotion campaign?
Standard campaigns deploy within 48 hours of brief sign-off in the 32 cities where TopHawks has activation teams. Multi-city or permission-heavy campaigns are planned on a schedule agreed in the brief.
Which cities does TopHawks cover for brand activations?
TopHawks has dedicated activation teams in 32 cities, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and major Tier 2 cities, supported by 25 warehouses for campaign assets.
How do you prove the activity actually happened?
Every promoter checks in on TracknTrain with GPS location and time-stamped photos, and daily reports show activity by city, location and promoter. Clients can view execution live.
Can promotions be combined with sales or lead generation?
Yes. Many campaigns pair awareness with sign-ups, app installs, merchant onboarding or on-the-spot sales, as in the MyPopCoins programme. The target metric is agreed before launch.
How much does a brand promotional campaign cost?
Cost depends on format, number of cities, locations, days and promoters. Share your brief and a specialist will send a costed campaign plan within 4 business hours.
