Question 1

How are quick-commerce promotions different from traditional retail promotions?

Accepted Answer

Quick-commerce promotions need to influence the shopper before the physical pack is seen. The offer must work across the product tile, search results, basket, delivered pack and post-purchase journey.

Question 2

Do on-pack QR promotions still work in quick commerce?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On-pack QR codes remain valuable after delivery because they can connect the platform purchase to a direct, permission-based brand interaction, reward journey or repeat-purchase program.

Question 3

Should rewards in quick-commerce promotions be instant?

Accepted Answer

The acknowledgement should be instant, while the actual reward should be delivered as quickly as verification and fraud controls allow. Clear confirmation and status visibility are essential.

Question 4

How can FMCG brands improve first-screen visibility on quick-commerce platforms?

Accepted Answer

Brands should use a clear product-tile message, relevant SKU, simple promotional promise, strong availability and mission-based offers that shoppers can understand without opening the product page.

Question 5

How can quick-commerce promotions drive repeat purchases?

Accepted Answer

Brands can use QR codes, unique codes, receipts or permission-based WhatsApp journeys after delivery to reward the first verified purchase and encourage the next purchase within the relevant consumption cycle.

Question 6

Which metrics should FMCG brands track for quick-commerce promotions?

Accepted Answer

Brands should track product-tile engagement, add-to-cart rate, conversion, basket value, stock availability, promotion cost, verified activations, reward fulfilment, repeat purchase and cost per incremental purchase.
