Lenskart Promotional and Marketing Strategies:
Lenskart Advertisement Strategy:
Google ads
Google ads are one of the most effective strategies to top the search results. Lenskart targets different keywords
such as eyeglasses, sunglasses, glasses, to get paid search traffic from Google ads. Also, Lenksart uses the
Google Shopping ads to show their products directly to users so they can take action. There are more, such as
display ads, video ads, and universal app download ads. Well, that is the optimum utilization of Google ads
Lenskart leaves no space to place their ads. The brand runs targeted Facebook ads and Instagram ads, and
customers are more likely to see these ads while scrolling their feed. All these efforts have made Lenskart a
well-recognized brand in India among all age groups. The brand also uses conventional marketing strategies
such as newspaper ads, billboards, television ads, and email marketing like the initiative that they took up in
collaboration with net Core which specialises in email-based marketing. They have a range of schemes which
make them extremely popular with the users. Some of them are:
• First frame free for the customers. Only payment for lenses of the first frame
• Exchange option for an old frame
• Try at home option for customers by ordering maximum 5 frames at home, trying them and selecting
• Virtual try on through a try on a model’s picture
• Home eye check-up facility

• Doctor locator to find nearest ophthalmologist.
Adding premium brands to your product catalog can enhance any platform’s authenticity and value. Lenskart
offers a wide range of premium eyewear brands such as John Jacobs, Ray-Ban, Oakley, Vogue, and many more
on their platforms. The customers can access various premium brands on a single platform.
Eye grabbing Offers:
What excites the customer about any product or service is what they “offer.” The Lenskart marketing strategy
includes various schemes and offers that attract more customers to its platform.
Some of their popular schemes are:
• Free eyesight testing
• Offering the first frame free to new customers
• 5 frame trials, 2 frames at ₹2500
Home trial where their eyewear specialist carries 100 bestselling frames for trial
• Free Lenskart Gold membership for 3 months
• 50% off on Vincent chase, Candyland collection
• Lenskart Pro offer
So, these are some of the offers, which they use to attract new customers and retain the existing ones.
Celebrity Endorsement:
Lenskart has completely revolutionized the eyewear segment in India and now eyewear is associated with style
rather than a cure to poor eyesight. In order to do so, they roped in a few celebrities who were known for their
style statement.
Lenskart’s first brand endorsement was done by Katrina Kaif in 2017 followed by Bhavan Bam in 2019.
Frame trial using Virtual Reality
Lenskart enhances its customer service by making its customers’ experience as real as possible, even on its app.
In 2015 Lenskart launched its 3D try-on feature by partnering with a California-based start-up named Ditto.
Using this feature, the customer can try their frames in virtual reality.
This feature is the most popular in its audience and even its founder Piyush Bansal claimed that this feature
brings around 15,000 every day on their platform.
Eye Testing using Modern technology
Eye testing is a crucial service associated with eyewear. So how can Lenskart miss on this service?
Lenskart offers an eye testing service. The customers can get their eye check-ups done at Lenskart stores or
even at their homes. The customers can book an eye test appointment, and an optometrist will visit them and
perform their eye test at home.
Talking about their eyesight technology, they use new-age equipment imported from the USA,
which is much smaller and lighter as compared to the conventional eyesight testing equipment.
Lenskart Digital Marketing Strategy
SEO
Lenskart’s SEO game is as solid as its product range. Their website is SEO friendly and therefore ranks at the
top. The company targets keywords such as “eyeglasses,” “spectacles,” “glasses,” “sunglasses,” and various
other keywords related to eyewear.
Lenskart’s SEO performance is so good that they get 1300K visitors per month organically from Google. It is
using tools like Optimizely and Target to increase their conversion rates.
Cloud
Lenskart is using Adobe marketing cloud for launching many different campaigns from a single platform. It is
helping them in managing content and customer insights.
High-quality product
Marketing does not always mean how you’re promoting, but it also focuses on what you’re promoting. Lenskart
focuses on both the product and promotions. The eyewear that Lenskart offers is of high quality as they’re made
with innovative technology.
Business Model of Lenskart
B2C Model

Lenskart operates on an inventory driven business model with a B2C concept, sourcing equally from India and
China. It is in-house stylists and designers keep up with the latest eyewear trends. The manufacturers are then
given these designs. By controlling the entire supply chain, the company is able to keep costs down. Lenskart has
also ventured into offline stores via the franchisee model to meet the masses.
Omni-Channel Strategy
Lenskart started off as an online business, but when they understood that Indian customers prefer to touch and
feel the product before buying a high involvement product, this is when they shifted to Omni Strategy. As it
was important for them to leverage technology to actively engage their customers and adopt to the ever-
changing consumer expectations.
With this strategy, the company focuses on delivering the right product, at the right time and at the right place.

customer service for valuable customers 58% of customers will never do business again after a bad experience

and 63% of consumers are influenced by recommendations from friends or family. Hence it is extremely
important to provide relevant customer experience across all channels.
SWOT ANALYSIS OF LENSKART
The point of a SWOT analysis is to help you develop a strong business strategy by making sure you’ve considered all
of your business’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the opportunities and threats it faces in the marketplace.
S.W.O.T. is an acronym that stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. A SWOT analysis is an
organized list of your business’s greatest strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Strengths and weaknesses are internal to the company (think: reputation, patents, location). You can change them
over time but not without some work. Opportunities and threats are external (think: suppliers, competitors, prices)
—they are out there in the market, happening whether you like it or not.

hand, they are running the risk of being dependent on some other companies which may affect its
