A large set of Indian smartphone buyers rely on local retailers for personalised information and demonstrations of products. With the shift in consumer behaviour redirecting their footfall from brick-and-mortar stores to online ones, a trusted source of face-to-face information was lost for many.
To leverage this shift in consumer behaviour, OPPO and AutumnGrey recreated this essential experience to help consumers make an informed choice about their next smartphone – by creating a new-age social commerce trend with India’s first Live Sale for OPPO Reno6 5G, a special 2-part shoppable livestream event.
“Commerce in any form is the next milestone in Digital. Being on this journey with our clients is fulfilling at many levels. In this specific case, integrating storytelling with performance is the highlight where on one side we are able to continue to entertain and on the other side seamlessly demo the phone and sell. We are delighted to work with OPPO on this campaign.”, said Anusha Shetty, Chairperson & Group CEO, Grey Group India.
Credible names from the world of technology and content creation were brought on-board to ensure the Live Sale stayed high on entertainment quotient while delivering live product experiences, exclusive limited period offers and real-time giveaways.
“As the differences between smartphones have continued growing smaller, it’s become important for consumers to see the device in action. The Live Sale was conceptualised with the aim of aligning tangible business benefit to a creative solution by pioneering a new format of social commerce, keeping audiences entertained while showcasing the product’s superiority in trusted hands.” said Salil Shahane, Senior Creative Director at AutumnGrey Delhi, the digital agency for OPPO India.
The first stream of OPPO Reno6 5G Live Sale hosted by Shibani Dandekar and guest-starring the ultimate tech guru Rajiv Makhni will be broadcast on Flipkart and all OPPO social media channels on 27th July at 12 PM with a repeat broadcast at 6 PM.

Commenting on this, a spokesperson from OPPO said, “Consumers today are looking for superior imaging capability, stunning design, powerful performance, and an unparalleled experience.

Taking the whole experience a notch ahead, we conceptualised the idea of live streaming and are really excited to bring OPPO Reno6 5G a step closer to the consumers.”
To further enhance the buyer experience during the Live Sale days, OPPO has also introduced limited time offers on the purchase of OPPO Reno6 5G like assured 1000 Flipkart SuperCoins, flat ₹1000 off on bundling OPPO Enco X Blue earphones, instant bank discounts up to ₹3000 and more along with real-time contests and giveaways on their social media channels.
