Using INFER RivalScope, INFER DataVizard
This is a study we ran ourselves, on public data, as a free resource for regional retailers. No retailer in it is an INFER client.
The question
How do the popular electronics retailers of the Kozhikode region use Instagram, what earns engagement, and what could a marketing team do differently next season?
What we ran
- Retailers: myG, Oxygen, Nandilath G-Mart, Nikshan and Image Mobiles & Computers.
- Posts: each retailer’s latest 40 own posts as of 11 November 2026, with the top 5 by likes plus comments: 25 posts.
- Ads: Instagram ads from the Meta Ad Library, 1 August to 11 November 2026, in Meta’s impressions order: 15 ads. No ads were found for myG in the window, which means not found, not that it does not advertise.
Every creative was archived and scored on 15 attributes for marketing teams: creative role, occasion hook, product focus, talent, lead offer, call to action, language, six 1 to 5 scores (brand recognisability, stopping power, offer clarity, product visibility, local connect and distinctiveness), the key message and a takeaway.
What we found
- Stars and openings win the feed. The top post, a film star at a myG store opening, drew 64.9k likes. Oxygen’s Alappuzha opening film was the most viewed at 3.7M. Openings were 8 of the 40 creatives.
- Posts entertain, ads sell. 19 of 25 top posts carried no offer. Every one of the 15 top ads had a call to action.
- Local voice earns engagement. Across the 25 posts, stopping power (+0.55) and local connect (+0.41) moved most with engagement. A clearer offer did not (−0.37).
- Ads lose the local voice. Local connect scored 4.0 in posts and 2.9 in ads, and 10 of 15 top ads showed the product and nothing else.
- The gaps: no creative led with EMI or bank cashback, and only one led with an exchange offer.
