Marketing is not only about following trends, but about attracting customers smartly. Usually, people have that notion that April Fools’ Day is all about pranks and jokes, but Flipkart is all set to change this traditional mindset, thanks to its unique marketing strategy.

The brand wants us to believe that 1st of April is not “April Fools’ Day” but is “No Kidding Day”. With No Kidding Days concept, Flipkart has clarified that kidding is not acceptable on these sale days.
