D2C Beauty Brand Price Tracking on Nykaa & Amazon | Actowiz

Overview

India's D2C beauty market is one of the most competitive eCommerce segments, where pricing, discounts, and delivery times drive conversions. Leading platforms like Nykaa, Amazon India, and Myntra constantly adjust offers and visibility, making it hard for brands to stay price-competitive.

A well-known D2C beauty and skincare brand partnered with Actowiz Solutions to monitor real-time pricing and discount trends across these platforms during the 2024 festive season. The objective was to identify price gaps, align campaign discounts, and maximize festive ROI through actionable data.

• Support campaign optimization for peak periods like Diwali, Pink Friday, and Amazon Great Indian Festival.
