Facebook reveals data on consumer behaviour during Ramadan

 

To help marketers implement the appropriate strategy to attract clients, Facebook has revealed detailed insights on consumer behaviour during Ramadan. More than 2 billion Muslims are fasting across the world and the social media giant believes that this is a good opportunity to tap into the “goodwill of the event” and connect with audiences.

Thus, it commissioned YouGov to conduct a study among more than 17 people to learn how their behaviour during this month will impact on their online activities. The firm explained, “This Ramadan season people will want to come together, whether virtually or socially distanced… We will see the emergence of new discovery and shopping behaviours”. The findings were published in a 35-page guide for marketers. It said that consumers will keep wishing to browse and shop online safely. Thus, merchants should introduce ways that will allow shoppers to discover products and purchase the things they love easily.

Facebook also advised brands to offer online ordering and curbside pick-up options wherever possible and to use its ad tools more effectively to better target audiences. Additionally, it provided an example of how Maybelline Vietnam used Facebook Live to virtually connect with shoppers. Such virtual connection points align with the growing e-commerce trends and the shift away from physical stores.
