Notes
Target regionally and culturally. Pongal demand is concentrated in Tamil Nadu and the Tamil diaspora. Use Tamil cultural cues and time campaigns to the four-day festival for relevance and reach.
Veshti and blouse fit reduce returns. Show veshti sizing and stitched blouse measurements clearly, and offer a fit recommender. For traditional drapes, accurate measurements matter more than generic S/M/L labels.
