India, 30th July 2023: In today's competitive food delivery landscape, standing out from the crowd is crucial for a restaurant's success. Swiggy, India's pioneering on-demand convenience platform has today launched a suite of off-app marketing solutions designed to elevate the presence and drive customer engagement for restaurant partners. This offering, accessible to partners PAN-India, aims to support restaurants to boost their online brand presence by leveraging social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

Swiggy’s new marketing services empower restaurant partners to build their online presence through influencer marketing, ads on social media (Facebook and Instagram), and WhatsApp marketing. By collaborating with top local food influencers and targeting Swiggy users with ads on Instagram and Facebook, restaurants can drive traffic to their menu pages on the Swiggy app. Combined with hyper-local and behavioural targeting, these strategies significantly increase brand visibility and customer engagement, ensuring a higher return on ad investment than traditional methods.

“Restaurants today face immense competition and need more than just great food to attract customers. Our new set of marketing services helps brands grow their customer base by combining the reach and engagement of channels like influencer marketing, social media, and WhatsApp and the ability to acquire new users through the Swiggy platform. With this, we bring the combined power of social media and Swiggy even to the smallest of the Restaurant partners to solve for “restaurant growth” - a key problem statement for the restaurant partners.”
