Facebook and Instagram ads in Kolkata
In Kolkata, a lot of the year builds up to Durga Puja, and shops plan around it. An ad on Facebook and Instagram lets you reach the paras near you before the rush, and the enquiries come to your phone.
Advertising in Kolkata
Every neighbourhood has its sweet shop, and people have strong opinions about which one is best. Gariahat is known for sarees, New Market for almost everything, and Burrabazar for wholesale. North and south Kolkata feel quite different, and Salt Lake and New Town have newer offices and apartments. People here plan holidays around the puja break too, which is busy time for travel agents.
Choosing the areas
Choose your locality and the ones close to it. A sweet shop in Behala gains little from people in Dum Dum. Saree stores, jewellers and travel agents can target the whole city, especially in the weeks before Puja.

Questions
How early should I advertise for Durga Puja?
Puja shopping starts weeks ahead. Clothing and saree stores often start their ads about a month before, and sweet shops and restaurants closer to the days themselves.
Bengali or Hindi?
Bengali for most neighbourhood customers. In areas with many Hindi speakers, or for wholesale buyers, Hindi helps. We can write both versions.
Is Poila Baisakh worth an ad?
For sweet shops, jewellers and clothing stores, yes. Many families buy new clothes and sweets for the Bengali new year in April.
Do I need a digital marketing agency in Kolkata to run ads?
No. A boutique in Gariahat or a coaching centre in Salt Lake can start with one plan and a Bengali ad. If you later need a website or search ranking work, that is when a Kolkata agency becomes useful.
