Drive Conversions with Data-Driven Advertising on PhonePe

PhonePe Advertisement 

PhonePe Ads refer to the advertising solutions offered by PhonePe, one of India’s most widely used digital payment platforms. With over 450 million registered users, PhonePe provides brands access to a massive, transaction-ready audience that engages with the platform for everyday needs — from money transfers and bill payments to shopping, investments, and gold purchases.

Unlike traditional digital media, Advertising on PhonePe is embedded within high-intent user journeys, placing your brand in front of consumers when they are active, focused, and ready to spend. A PhonePe Advertisement can appear before, during, or after a transaction — ensuring unmatched attention and contextual relevance.

Why Choose PhonePe Advertising

When our client — a premium health and wellness brand — approached us to boost visibility during the festive season, PhonePe Ads stood out as the most direct, scalable, and intent-driven option available. Here’s why:

  1. Massive Daily User Base
    PhonePe reaches millions of users every day across Tier 1 to Tier 4 cities. With users checking the app for recharges, payments, insurance, and investments, the attention span is higher and distractions are lower.
  2. High-Intent Engagement
    Users on PhonePe are mid-transaction or reviewing financial activities, making them more likely to notice and act on contextual ads than passive social feeds.
  3. Multi-Format Visibility
    PhonePe Advertisement solutions span across banners, videos, interactive scratch cards, and high-impact roadblock takeovers — covering every stage of the transaction cycle.
  4. Hyperlocal & Demographic Targeting
    Advertising on PhonePe allows brands to filter by city, gender, age, transaction history, and behavior — helping us reach the right audience with precision.
  5. Trust and Brand Safety
    Since PhonePe is one of the most trusted apps in India, PhonePe Ads appear in a clean, clutter-free, and secure environment.

Types of PhonePe Ads Used

We used a strategic mix of four PhonePe Advertisement formats to amplify our client’s brand story:

  1. Banner Ads

Our banners were positioned across the recharge, bill payment, and home screens of the app. These static creatives featured direct messages such as “₹100 Off on Wellness Packs” and “Limited-Time Festive Offers.” The CTAs were designed to lead users to a web landing page.

  1. Video Ads

Short 6- to 10-second videos were used to tell the brand’s story visually. These appeared mid-transaction or while navigating between service categories. The videos highlighted product USPs and limited-time coupon codes.

  1. Scratch Card Ads

Interactive and gamified, these ads rewarded users after completing transactions with digital scratch cards offering discounts. Messaging like “Scratch to Win up to ₹150 Off” significantly boosted participation.

  1. Roadblock Ads

We reserved full-screen takeovers on high-traffic days (festive weekends), ensuring the brand dominated the app visually. These roadblocks combined banners and videos to maximize exposure.

By combining static, motion, interactive, and takeover formats, PhonePe Ads ensured the brand was visible, engaging, and consistent at every touchpoint.
