Advertising
Reach Indian D2C buyers
Open D2C is building advertising tools for brands who want more than organic discovery. Advertising is also how we keep the platform free — revenue from ads covers server costs and funds improvements so brands never pay to get listed.
Advertising is not live yet
These formats are in development. If you're interested in being an early advertiser — especially at launch pricing — reach out now and we'll add you to the waitlist.
Ad formats we're building
Sponsored brand listings
Your brand appears at the top of relevant category and search pages, clearly marked as sponsored. Buyers see your products first.
Promoted product cards
Individual products boosted in search results and discovery feeds. Pay per click, not per impression.
Banner placements
Display advertising on high-traffic pages — homepage, category pages, and search results. Fixed monthly placements.
Featured brand page
A dedicated, enriched brand page with curated product showcase, brand story, and priority placement in brand directories.
Why advertise on Open D2C
Focused audience
Indian D2C
Everyone on Open D2C is here to discover and buy from Indian D2C brands. No generic marketplace noise.
High intent traffic
Search-first
Buyers arrive with a product or category in mind. Advertising here reaches people actively looking — not just scrolling.
Organic base included
Free + Paid
Your products are already indexed for free. Advertising amplifies reach on top of organic discovery, not instead of it.
Our commitment
Advertising will always be clearly labelled. Sponsored results will never be mixed with organic listings without a visible label. We will not use deceptive placement.
Organic discovery — based on search relevance and product quality — is never for sale. Advertising buys visibility, not search rank manipulation.
