7. Understanding Campaign Timing Is Essential
Timing campaign in Ramadan is essential since consumer behavior is change as well. From several
findings from Nielsen regarding internet access in Ramadan, the peak time is after iftar (buka puasa)
with highest increase in internet use is after breaking fast time by 12%.
Followed by second peak is night/dawn (sahur) and afternoon (ngabuburit). Also, Week 2-3 is the most
preferred time when people spend their time for content.
WEEK 1 WEEK 2 WEEK 3 WEEK 4
After Iftar (Buka Puasa)
Afternoon (Ngabuburit)
Night/Dawn (Sahur)
*Graph above is an illustration about timeline of internet access in Ramadan
8. Consumer Behavior In Ramadan Season
The desire to look different at Hari Raya and Eid al-Fitr’s allowances (THR) encourage consumers to
buy and looking for new things. Here’s below the data from Nielsen and Google:
Fashion 1.7X uplift
in fashion queries
Home Appliance 1.6X
growth YoY in searches
for home appliances
Travel 1.6X increase in
ticket queries for Mudik
Smartphone 4X increase
of consumers who plan to
buy a smartphone
Car ownership 21% increased
while people who plan to buy
car increases 3.5X
Based on above data, we can see that mostly in various categories is significantly increased in
Ramadan Season. These data shows that people buying power is stronger than other months.
9. Food Consumption In Ramadan Season
Although Ramadan is centered around fasting,
traditions relating to food are equally important. This
is illustrated by the 220% increase in food-related
search queries during Ramadan in Indonesia.
This is demonstrated by the 1.5X surge in searches
for restaurants two weeks after Ramadan, and
during Eid al-Fitr when people hold Halal Bihalal (1st
week is presumably spent at home with family).
Bakery-related keywords reach their peak in the last
week of Ramadan, but see a gradual climb a week
before Eid al-Fitr.
Meanwhile, fast food searches gradually increase throughout Ramadan, and see a 1.6X growth in
quick service restaurant (QSR) searches throughout Ramadan. We also see a 51% increase in Waze
navigations to restaurants during Ramadan.
10. Video Format Is The King In Ramadan Season
Consumption of online video content generally rises during Ramadan, with YouTube search queries
increasing by as much as 40% during the period. While most content categories see surges during the
Holy Month, 54% of video watchers in our survey stated an intention to watch spiritual content.
With video format, you can create for your asset that will distribute in your social media, email
marketing or paid ads. Also, you can tap in with sponsored video with Influencer and Media to get their
native content to grab your audience.

14. One Message for Sponsored Influencers, More for Sponsored Articles
When working with sponsored influencers, we
suggest limiting the number of “key messages”
you to choose to communicate.
If however you want to communicate more than
one message then we suggest you look to work
with the publishers to create branded content.
17. How To Link Back To Your Brand With Sponsored Articles
At the top directly mention the brand has
sponsored the article, plus here feature a logo +
link. i.e. Sponsored by Samsung
In the middle of the article, subtly link to
relevant and supporting articles about the brand
or referencing a particular product. i.e …as
previously shared when reviewing our favorite
smartphones of 2017…
At the bottom of the post, once again mention
the brand sponsorship, and here link to your
desired call to action. i.e Click here to learn about
the Samsung A5
18. How To Link Back To Your Brand With Influencers
Tags: By tagging a brand’s social
media account, an influencer could
build a bridge for potential customers
to discover more about a brand
through their accounts.
Link: Influencers often provide a space in
their bio to put a link of a campaign to
generate more actions.
Mention: A bit similar to
tagging, mentioning a
brand’s account in the
caption will allow people
to see the brand’s
presence within the
sponsored post and
potentially drive traffic.
Campaign Hashtags: This
is very useful to let people
who follow the account or
not to search for other
similar buzzing contents,
if not from the trending
topic lists.
20. Make Sure To Place Retargeting Pixels Where You Can
With content marketing and sponsored
content often giving you the opportunity to
insert tracking pixels into every piece of
content created.
This means that clients are seeing x10 better
cost effectiveness in their paid marketing
initiatives, as they now only show ads to
consumers who have already expressed
strong interest in their category.
X10 BETTER PAID MEDIA
DUE TO RETARGETING
