WHY SHOULD YOUR BRAND GO VERNACULAR?

Thanks to affordable data plans and smartphones, India’s next wave of Internet users are from the tier II and III cities. This phenomenon has led to an increase in the number of Internet users who are comfortable with non-English speaking languages. So, how do brands keep up? That’s where multilingual marketing comes in and is soon becoming one of the most effective ways to engage with the next billion Internet users of India.

Challenges faced by various sectors

As a brand, merely translating your existing messaging into a number of different languages will not cut it. Speaking to these growing audiences involves a deep understanding of their interests, lifestyle and culture.

With a majority of Internet users consuming regional content, brands are facing the constant challenge of engaging with users who are not comfortable with English.

Brands are consistently striving to attract potential consumers and connect with them emotionally in order to create a long-lasting bond of trust and assurance.

Not everyone who engages with your content will necessarily convert to your brand unless you convince them in a language they are fluent in. Brands are in the lookout for innovative techniques to create a connection with their audience.

Building a brand image in the city your brand was launched in is just the tip of the iceberg. The real challenge lies in creating a national brand that targets consumers from all parts of the nation.

The growth of regional content online has pushed brands to consider translating their posts in regional languages to reach a wider Indian audience. However, the challenge lies in bringing users all the way down to the marketing funnel until they ultimately convert to the brand.

The objective:

KhataBook is a first of its kind digital credit tracking system in India which offers utility building services to 60 million small and medium businesses. Using KhataBook, you can digitally record the credit extended to customers and help your business grow.

65% increase in qualified leads through Bengali ads for Shriram Properties


The objective:

Shriram Properties is one of India’s leading real estate developers with projects across Chennai, Bangalore, Coimbatore and Kolkata. Shriram Properties approached us with a unique challenge – they required us to sell a huge number of units from their latest project Shriram Grand City, an affordable housing property located in Uttarpara, West Bengal. Due to the nature of their target audience profile and the location of the project, an English-only approach would not have been effective.

Our Strategy:

Since the project was located in Uttarpara, we used Bengali in all of our marketing initiatives for it. In conjunction with a number of innovative Google Display advertising techniques, we also created a landing page in Bengali and ran multilingual ads. Our overall strategy included using Custom Affinity 2.0 to develop audience profiles similar to those who visited competitor thank you page URLs, Accelerated Mobile Pages as well as Google Optimise to enhance the websites UI/UX.

What did we achieve?

  • 65% of leads were qualified as prospective home buyers
  • 35% reduction in Cost Per Lead
  • 59% of total conversions came from our Display Campaigns

The objective:

Swiggy’s prides itself in bridging the gap between thousands of restaurants and hungry consumers every day.
