KNOW THE VIBES of your audience and speak their language; there's no one-size-fits-all.
That's A, B, C of marketing and that's what local dating apps are banking on to drive loyalty among promiscuous consumers.
Apps such as Aisle's Arike (Malayalam), Anbe (Tamil), Neene (Kannada) and Neetho (Telegu) and Kolkata-based Flutrr, which have cropped up in a last couple of years, are trying to connect singles through their native tongue and are tugging on their sense of community to forge a meaningful connection.
Take Flutrr, which mostly caters to singles in tier II and III markets and supports languages such as English, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. The app's monthly active users have risen to more than 6 lakh now, compared to about 1.4 lakh a year ago.
