8.1 How Meesho Marketing Actually Works
Unlike Amazon or Flipkart, Meesho relies heavily on:
- Price attractiveness
- Conversion rate
- Low returns
- Seller performance
👉 Meesho promotes products that SELL, not products that look good.

🔹 Factors That Boost Visibility:
✔ Competitive pricing
✔ Fast dispatch
✔ High ratings
✔ Low cancellation
✔ Stock availability
This is algorithmic marketing — free but powerful.
8.3 Discount Strategy: How Much Is Enough?
❌ Common Mistake:
Heavy discounts = high orders + zero profit.
✅ Smart Discount Rule:
- Use small discounts (₹10–₹30)
- Only during:
- New product launch
- High competition phase
- Seasonal demand
👉 Discount is a tool, not a habit.
