Which try-on haul reel ideas travelled furthest?

Meesho hauls and kurta sets, at 16 times followers for the middle reel, though neither pulls far ahead. Budget hauls sit just behind at 14×.

Thrift hauls went further, at 21×, but they're rare: only 21 made our count, too few for the chart. On the chart, the middle reels run from 16× down to 8× for Myntra hauls.

Which try-on haul ideas worked for small accounts?

High street store hauls, by a wide margin: from accounts under 10,000 followers, the middle reel reached 68 times followers. Small accounts hold 34% of this niche's viral reels.

That lead rests on just 20 reels from small accounts, so take it as a hint, not a rule. Meesho hauls and kurta sets come next, both at 45×.
