Tractor ownership is both a necessity and a source of pride for any rural farmer engaged in agriculture. It’s an emotional high whenever a farmer brings home a Tractor – either on hire or outright purchase. The entire family celebrates this joyful event along with the farmer. Therein lies the crux of this significant market opportunity.
Gromax is a leading tractor manufacturer in India, catering to the farming community and agricultural sector. In a highly competitive market, Gromax recognized the need for effective digital marketing strategies to increase brand awareness, reach, and customer engagement among its target audience, primarily farmers and tractor rental service providers.
Gromax wanted to leverage digital marketing channels, including social media platforms like Facebook, to promote its tractors and generate quality leads. The project involved running targeted advertising campaigns, creating engaging content, and implementing strategies to expand the company’s reach and customer base.
●Increase brand awareness and reach among India’s farmers, drivers, and agriculture-based businesses.
● Expand the catchment area of dealerships to neighbouring regions within and outside the district.
● Generate quality leads with a 10-12% conversion to sales-qualified leads.

The primary focus areas for the digital marketing campaign were the states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Bihar.
The campaign was developed with the explicit focus of communicating Pride in ownership of a tractor, along with overall improvement in lifestyle.
We wanted to engage at a basic level with the Target audience using content around emotional themes – “#TractorKaraeTarakki” (Tractor Brings Prosperity), “#TractorFamilyHappyFamily” (Tractor for a Happy Family), and “#KiraedariKaNayaDhandha” (Tractor Rental as a New Business).
Another strong message used in the campaign was upgrading from a rental owner to outright ownership, which we promoted through our creatives across the social media platforms.
