The Snitch Story Unveiled

Born as a B2B brand in 2019, Snitch didn't just face the challenges brought on by the pandemic; it transformed them into opportunities.

Today, Snitch stands as a D2C sensation, reaching customers in over 20 states across India.

Key Insights from Snitch's Remarkable Journey

Lesson #1: Find a Unique Opportunity & Dive In

Identifying a gap in the market is just the beginning; attacking it head-on is where the real journey starts. Snitch spotted an opportunity in the lack of an Indian brand dedicated to men's fast fashion. In a market flooded with options for women, men were left wanting. Snitch aimed to fill this void by offering diverse choices for the modern man, including plus-sized options.

Lesson #2: Take a Stand on Sustainability

In a world where fast fashion often means mass production and environmental concerns, Snitch stood out. They embraced sustainability with a circular fashion business model. Initiatives like 'Relove' and 'Resell' allow users to sell pre-owned Snitch clothing, contributing to a more sustainable fashion cycle. Moreover, Snitch pioneers plant-based chemical washes and eco-friendly packaging, making sustainability a core value.

Lesson #3: Be a Customer-First Brand

Prioritizing customer satisfaction and creating exceptional experiences is Snitch's forte. From addressing inquiries promptly to automating operations for seamless customer experiences, they've built a brand focused on the customer. Their user-friendly app and commitment to accessibility have resulted in over a million orders and 1.5 million app downloads.

Lesson #4: Affiliate Program for Brand Awareness

To build a brand community, Snitch introduced the Snitch Ambassador Program. Customers could become ambassadors by sharing their Snitch purchases on Instagram. This not only cultivated brand advocates but also enriched the sense of belonging. The program's success lies in making every customer feel valued and appreciated.

Lesson #5: Marketing for the Win

Snitch's social media strategy is a well-crafted mix of visually captivating content, influencer marketing, and customer engagement. With over 400k followers on Instagram, they encourage users to share their Snitch experiences using #snitchit.
