Let’s explore 7 digital marketing ideas to help your brand shine online this Diwali, brought to you by Meet My Media, Surat’s leading digital marketing agency.
Create a Festive-Themed Social Media Campaign
Surat is a city that loves colors, celebrations, and stories. Make your brand a part of that joy!
Tips:
- Design Diwali-themed creatives with local flavor, think of visuals with Surat’s skyline, local sweets, or diamond design.
- Run short video reels showing behind-the-scenes celebrations at your business.
- Use trending hashtags like #diwaliInsurat #suratshines #diwalicelebrations etc.
Pro Tip: Encourage user-generated content and ask your followers to share how they celebrate Diwali with your brand. Reward them with gift vouchers or discounts.
Run Geo-Targeted Google & Meta Ads for Surat Customers
During Diwali, competition spikes and so does search volume. Running geo-targeted paid ads ensures your offers reach the right audience in Surat.
Action Plan:
- Set up Google Ads targeting “Surat,” “Gujarat,” or nearby areas.
- Highlight Diwali offers, limited-time festive sales and Surat store pickups.
- Run Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) promoting your Diwali collection or festive discounts.
Example:
If you own a clothing boutique, target keywords like “Diwali dress collection Surat” or “festive wear near me.”

Ideas for Your Diwali Campaign:
- Send festive greetings with a discount coupon or exclusive pre-sale invite.
- Add vibrant visuals and warm messaging like “May your Diwali sparkle with joy and great offers!”
- Segment your Surat-based customers for localized messaging and delivery-based offers.
Pro Tip: Schedule your wish campaign strategically, before Diwali (to drive purchases) and one after (to clear festive stock).
Optimize Your Website for Festive SEO
As shoppers in Surat search online for “Diwali deals near me” or “Diwali gifts Surat,” your website should be among the top results.
Checklist:
- Add festive keywords: “Diwali offers Surat,” “Best Diwali gifts,” “Surat Diwali sale”
- Create a Diwali landing page featuring your offers and products.
- Improve website speed and mobile experience (as most searches happen on phones).
Bonus Tip: Use Google My Business to post your Diwali offers, which helps your local customers find you easily on Google Maps.
Launch a Limited-Time “Diwali Combo Offer”
Diwali is all about gifts and combos, from sweets to gadgets. Apply the same concept digitally!
How to Do It:
- Bundle products or services under a “Festive Combo Offer.”
- Add urgency: “Offer valid till Diwali night!”
- Promote through WhatsApp, Instagram Stories, and your website banner.
Example:
If you run a salon in Surat — offer a “Diwali Glow Combo” including facial + hair spa + nail art at a discounted rate.
This strategy not only boosts conversions but also increases average order value.
Spread Joy Through Festive CSR & Storytelling
In a festival rooted in giving and positivity, brands that show genuine care win hearts.
Ideas for Diwali CSR in Surat:
- Partner with a local NGO to donate a portion of your sales to underprivileged families.
- Share your initiative through social media videos, storytelling builds emotional connection.
- Encourage customers to participate (e.g., “Buy a gift, light up a life”).
This doesn’t just create goodwill, it makes your brand memorable long after the festival ends.
