SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY
ALKA
A Social Media Strategy
for Craft-Led Fashion
2026
CATEGORY
A growing
space with
a clarity gap.
Indian craft fashion is having a moment. But the storytelling hasn't caught up.
OBSERVATIONS
02
What's working.
Process content
reveals the hand behind the work
Founder storytelling
builds trust and relatability
Textile close-ups
drive tactile desire
OBSERVATION
Every feed looks
the same.
Flat lays. Hangers. White backgrounds.
The craft is real. The content is generic.
04
ALKA TODAY
Strong product.
Soft presence.
An honest look at where ALKA stands.
Audit begins.
AUDIT BREAKDOWN
01
Profile
Discoverability & first impression
02
Content
Visual language & format mix
03
Storytelling
Narrative depth & craft visibility
04
Conversion
From interest to intent
PROFILE — 01
The door
is open.
But there's no path inside.
No link in bio
Discovery ends at the profile.
Weak call to action
Followers don't know the next step.
Bio under-communicates
Craft, origin, and identity — all missing.
CONTENT — 02
The product is there.
The story isn't.
— Hanger-heavy visual mix
Dilutes brand emotion with generic product presentation.
— Minimal lifestyle or context
Fails to place the garments in a compelling, aspirational world.
— Reversibility never shown
A major distinguishing design feature is hidden from the feed.
STORYTELLING — 03
Craft is the story.
It's not being told.
Kantha origin. Maker's process.
Reversibility logic. All invisible.
CONVERSION — 04
01
DM Friction
Interested buyers fall off. No smooth path to purchase.
02
No pricing signals
Every inquiry starts from zero. Curiosity doesn't convert.
03
Link absent
The website exists. Instagram doesn't point to it.
Intent exists. The system to capture it doesn't.
AUDIT SCORE
08 / 10
Product
Craft, quality, concept — exceptional.
03 / 10
Communication
Underserved. Underrepresented.
The gap is the opportunity.
CORE INSIGHT
The product
is strong.
The communication
is not.
This is the entire brief.
COMPETITIVE PATTERNS
Craft-led peers —
win on process, lose on consistency
Heritage-focused —
beautiful archives, no present-day narrative
Mass artisan brands —
volume over voice — diluted identity
The whitespace: a voice that is consistent, raw, and craft-first.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Four ways to
own the space.
— Reversibility as format
No one is doing this.
— Collectible jackets
Each piece a story.
— Gender-neutral craft
Category-defining position.
— Raw aesthetic
Authentic, not styled.
STRATEGY PHILOSOPHY
15
Not more content.
Better
content system.
Quality over frequency. Signal over noise.
THE STRATEGY SYSTEM
MAKE
/
WEAR
/
SHAPE
Three lenses. One system.
MAKE — Where it comes from · WEAR — Where it lives · SHAPE — What you're buying
MAKE
MAKE
Where it comes from.
— Kantha. The textile origin.
— Process. The maker's hand.
— Material. The saree reimagined.
Builds depth. Earns trust.
WEAR
WEAR
Where it lives.
— Real people. Not models.
— Movement. Not posing.
— The jacket in the world.
Builds relatability. Invites the viewer in.
SHAPE
SHAPE
What you're buying.
— Reversibility. Two jackets in one.
— Texture. Kantha you can almost feel.
— Structure. Heirloom quality.
Drives desire. Enables decision.
THE SYSTEM
