Facebook and Instagram ads in Surat
Surat is two markets in one. There's a large local consumer market, and there's a textile trade that sells to resellers and shoppers across India. Facebook and Instagram ads can serve both, but they need very different targeting.
Two ways to use ads in Surat
- Local customers: target Surat with a radius and name the area (Adajan, Vesu, Varachha, Athwa, Piplod). Use this for food, salons, gyms, clinics, schools and local retail.
- Textile sellers and online stores: sarees, dress materials and kurtis can target other cities or whole states, with WhatsApp as the order channel. Resellers are an audience in their own right: "Become a reseller, catalogue on WhatsApp".
The Surat calendar
| When | What to plan |
|---|---|
| January | Uttarayan; undhiyu and winter food season |
| Aug–Sep | Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami and Ganesh festival; textile orders for the festive season |
| Sep–Oct | Navratri: chaniya choli, garba events and classes |
| Oct–Nov | Diwali, when many workers travel home, so plan local offers before the holiday; wedding season follows |

Can a Surat textile seller advertise across India?
Yes. Run a separate campaign targeting the states or cities you ship to, with WhatsApp as the ordering channel.
Should I target resellers?
Many Surat sellers grow through resellers. A dedicated 'become a reseller' ad with a catalogue on WhatsApp works well.
