"Yeka is dedicated to providing exceptional, high-potency, yet previously unexplored traditional herbs"
Raising awareness on plastic usage, animal testing, water pollution, and worker exploitation has never been more critical. The market is flooded with numerous skincare product options, each catering to a specific need, leading to confusion and higher expenditure on the consumer’s side. Yeka is a 100 percent natural brand, so much so that they do not even use artificial fragrances, providing products that are multifunctional, serving multiple needs of consumers in line with their minimalist philosophy. Yeka started its business on Instagram in 2018 and
targeted customers through its two-pronged strategy of driving traffic to its e-Commerce portal and capturing the untapped segment new to online shopping by taking orders on Whatsapp and Instagram DMs. They did not have a huge marketing budget, so they focused more on creative content, collaborating with 700+ influencers on social media, customer understanding, and satisfaction. They have an in-house branding team and leverage a highly competitive ROI of 8-11. “These days, consumers are tired of numerous products with promises and claims unclear on their usage. We at Yeka are here with the hassle-free, truly effective, simple yet miraculous oils,” speaks Nandhini.A House of Two Brands-: YEKA & GREWAA
