What to watch

  • Footfall, social engagement and earned-media reach at each city activation.
  • Week-on-week footwear sell-through in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Surat versus comparable non-activation markets.
  • Use and redemption rate of event-linked QR codes, coupons or partner retailer offers.
  • Growth in FILA India search interest, marketplace traffic and social followers during and after the campaign.
  • Evidence of additional city dates, mall partnerships, store launches or local creator collaborations after Surat.
  • Degree of festive discounting by Nike, adidas, Puma, Skechers and domestic footwear competitors.
  • Track event-to-purchase conversion through QR-led offers, geofenced retargeting and city-level sales attribution.
  • Coordinate Mumbai, Bengaluru and Surat events with nearby retailer inventory, visual merchandising and short-duration footwear bundles.
  • Use local dancers, DJs and creators to generate city-specific content rather than relying on one national campaign asset.
  • Test limited-edition colorways or event-exclusive customization to turn participation into urgency and collectible demand.
  • Identify whether Surat's inclusion can serve as a template for expansion beyond metro-led brand building.
