According to data businesses, e-commerce and fintech companies are now attempting to infiltrate semi-urban and rural areas through targeted and programmatic marketing. The strategy for tailored ads varies depending on the region’s income level and language.
While consumers in Tier 1 cities are separated in to high and middle-income groups, marketers in minor cities use a more colloquial approach and target low-cost handsets.
Marketers are emphasising the vernacular and leveraging regional content to entice consumers as the number of netizens from tier 2 and 3 cities comes online. Because mobile data accounts for the majority of tier 2 traffic, shorter text pieces and snackable movies are favoured for easy consumption.
During the epidemic, general mobile usage in India grew, and semi-urban and rural areas emerged as mobile usage hotspots, providing a perfect opportunity to engage younger digital customers. States with a majority of semi-urban areas have emerged as the new mobile hotspots. In addition, a number of apps in other verticals were released with the goal of increasing mobile usage in Tier 2 and 3 cities.
Hindi, Tamil and Telugu Language
The demand for information in languages other than English is growing as more Indians get online. Despite the fact that English is currently the most often utilised language for online business, Indian-language material is becoming increasingly popular.
By next year, India’s Hindi internet users are expected to outnumber the country’s online English-language users, accounting for 75 per cent of Indian internet users, together with Marathi and Bengali users.
Tier 2 customers have a better response rate than Tier 1 customers
Semi-urban customers, according to programmatic ad providers, are more passionate about targeted ads than their urban counterparts.
Programmatic Advertising
Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionised digital advertising and aided in the development of an environment in which personalization in communication is critical to maximising media ROI. The use of AI and machine learning to buy and sell digital advertising space is known as programmatic advertising. This means you can instantly connect with a broad audience across numerous platforms.
It is powered by real-time data and allows for advanced audience targeting, ensuring that the correct people see the ad and that you get the highest return on investment. By the end of 2021, experts expect that programmatic will account for 88 per cent of all display advertising.
The divide between India and Bharat is shrinking
In Tier 2 and 3 cities, e-commerce purchases are increasing. As is the case with fintech development. The chasm between India and Bharat is gradually closing. The divide between India and Bharat is shrinking.
Brands are beginning to recognise that these newer netizens place high importance on traditional cable connections and social media, and are tailoring their communications to reflect this. It’s why Facebook’s hyperlocal marketing is focusing on smaller cities while streaming providers like Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, and Prime Video are investing in regional content.
