Digital awareness progress in rural India

Demonetization and GST implementation are two path-breaking events happened in India recently. Though we can keep on discussing the usefulness or irrelevance of both decisions, there is one positive thing happened due to it. There has been a tremendous increase in the digital awareness in India. After demonetization, cashless became the buzzword.Since there was a huge cash crunch, people didnt have any option than using smart cards for financial transactions. However, the penetration and popularity of digital money transfer predominantly happened in the urban market.Experts feel that the large chunk of the population still needs to be made digitally aware. The government is also aware of it. Hence, focused and targeted efforts are planned to achieve a grand success in the niche. Common Service Center (CSC) plans to reach up to the grass-root levels CSC which falls under the Ministry of Electronics and IT launches a special drive to bring digital financial literacy in the rural areas. It targets specific population where the digital literacy rate and overall awareness is quite low. By making these people educated and bringing them to the mainstream, a substantial increase is expected. It is part of the DISHA (Digital Saksharta Abhiyan) program which encompasses the overall digital literacy. The plan is to take the awareness up to the last person in the queue. Each person should be able to understand the fundamentals of the digital transaction and all the available options should be accessible. The more people know about it, the higher is the digital usage. When users are comfortable with technicalities such as Unified Payment Interface or UPI, it becomes very easy to do financial transactions online. With the help of the widespread network of CSC and the active participation of Gram Panchayats, the digital literacy mission anticipates a huge success. If it happened on all practical grounds, then it will be a major breakthrough. Certainly, it will boost the governments policies. As the target group includes all organized and unorganized businesses in the rural and urban areas, there will be a direct impact on the economy. Why do we need more digital awareness? As mentioned earlier, it becomes inevitable to use digital mode of payment with the changing business scenario in India.Since the magnitude of cash transactions will see a gradual dip, everyone has to be prepared for the digital era. By making the rural people aware of it, the government wants to cover the larger chunk of the population. The urban sector is fairly well aware.

Team Vritti Imedia experiences the fun and enthusiasm of the Bendur Festival in Wai, Satara

In a country like India where the economy is largely dependent on agriculture, harvesting season is critically important. No wonder, we have so many festivals and celebrations in different states during the different stages of harvesting.In some parts of Maharashtra, Bendur is celebrated on the Fourteenth Day of Ashadha Month of Hindu calendar. The festival is the way of showing respect and gratitude towards the farm animals that play an important role in agriculture. There is a great enthusiasm about the festival in the villages. Bullocks and cattle are part of the family in a typical farmers house. Hence, no efforts left to make the day special for the animals.Bendur festival shows our gratitude towards the animals who work hard in the farms and help the farmers in earning a good income.

Urban VS Rural customers From a marketing perspective

A village today in our country is certainly not what it used to be three decades ago. If we read about the living conditions of a typical Indian village in the decade of seventies or even eighties, then it looks as if we are talking about Stone Age. Today, we see a paradigm shift in the situation where marketing managers find the fortune lying at the bottom of the population strata. With the large share of 68 percent and more, it governs the marketing strategies and budgets of small, medium and big corporate houses. Having said it, in spite of a tremendous economic growth, there is a distinct difference in the mentality and behavioral patterns of the rural and urban customers. They are two distinct entities, for sure The overall economic growth has certainly reduced the number of people in the lower-middle class. Now, most of them have got promoted to the middle or upper-middle classes. In spite of the elevation, there is still a distinct demarcation in the temperament of the upper-middle or middle-class population in the rural and urban areas. Hence, it is impossible to drive common marketing plans or marketing campaigns. Here are a few prominent differences: A rural customer may not be highly educated, but he is no inferior to his urban counterpart as far as common sense is concerned. Rather, he is sharper. Hence, marketing managers are supposed to design marketing schemes or strategies quite carefully. A rural customer is always more conscious about the cost-effectiveness as compared to the urban customers. He doesnt want a product to be always cheap always, but wants that he gets the best value for money. There is an inherent inertia for accepting new products. Marketing managers need to work their fingers to bones to establish a new idea or brand. It is not that daunting task in the urban areas as users are more eager to experiment. Brand loyalty is distinctively more in the rural market. Consumers stick to a brand through the appearance, color scheme and graphics of the brand. Therefore, a change in the logo or fonts takes a longer time to establish. Still, the predominant source of income is agriculture. Hence, the seasonal surge is more prominent in the rural market. Typically, schemes and promotional plans should be aligned with the harvesting time. Marketing gurus are forced to apply their brains in deriving unique and focused strategies for both these segments.

Behavior of the rural audience and how to sell effectively

You joined a company as marketing manager and the first assignment you got to create an advertising campaign for product specific to the rural market. You prepare well, the pitch is superb, and there is no problem in the product. However, strangely nothing works, and it comes out to be a total fiasco. What could be the reason behind it? What went wrong? Well, nothing is mysterious in the whole story. The rural marketing is a different ball game altogether. The mindset is different, and you need a unique approach to close a deal. The tactics, tricks, and strategies need to be designed separately. A few tips to sell effectively When you work on a strategy for the rural audience, put your whole efforts to make it personalized. The mindset of people living in the rural area is different. The consumers there get associated with the particular brand or product. The brand loyalty is very high and seasonal factors govern their buying decisions. Though the literacy rate has gone up as per the official statistics, they still identify a brand by its color, logo or font. In the backdrop of the given information, here are some tips that will help you in sailing through successfully. Gather sufficient information by meeting people personally. You need to be a frequent visitor in the locality if you want to establish the brand identity. When your knowledge about the market segment and consumer behavior more than your competitor, the probability of success is pretty high. Extend customer education if required. If you are launching a product that they are unfamiliar with, then you need great efforts to establish the brand identity. If you are competing against an established product, then also the battle is tough. You have to draw a rosy picture about your product so that they get lured to it. Involvement is the key to success. Take the project as a great opportunity for building a relationship with your customers. The more closely you work with them, the deeper is the impact. To make a product a big hit in the rural market, you need to put all out efforts. Dedication, passion, and confidence make a rural marketing campaign a super-duper success. Change your mindset and thinking pattern when you chalk out a strategy for this market segment. Get the pulse of the market right, and you hit the jackpot!
