An advertising agency can create a ~love connection~ to build your tribe.You may not be spending time yet targeting buyers through apps like Tindr, Bumble, Plenty Of Fish — or the plethora of other free dating apps found on the typical Millenial’s or Gen Z’s smartphone — but your competitors are! You may be missing out on a big platform where a large portion of your audience is spending an astonishing 10 hours a week “swiping right” on many a brand. What’s “swiping right?” It’s young-person’s speak for wanting to learn more or connect with you. That’s what social media is all about — so let’s dive into new ways you can reach them!Creating and running ads on several different dating platforms falls under social media management. When your audience contains segments between the ages of 18-28, your brand is certainly already on Instagram, right? These same people who you’re trying to reach on Instagram, Twitter, and Google can be reached at a very specific time of their day: when they’re already in the mindset of making spontaneous “yes, I want this” decisions. Further, Tinder alone boasts over 100 million downloads. By purchasing ad space on dating apps, you can reach a large and specific demographic with an average CPC of just $1.72 for Tinder, with other dating apps averaging even less.

Tinder’s, and any other dating app’s, ads are comprised of 5 basic elements:
Sound like a social post? It’s similar! These ads should be optimized to be eye-catching and easy to read. Most people will swipe fairly quickly, so you want a clear, concise headline and memorable image. Keep your audience’s perspective in mind. What aspect of your business will capture their interest the quickest? Use high-quality images and save the headline for the most essential information while the caption does the heavy-lifting for extra details. Use emoticons to convey mood and tone quickly. Keep your ads’ “frequency” high enough to let your audience see your ads a few times a day, but don’t contribute to ad fatigue.Need an expert strategist to help you build a content marketing plan that’ll have your audience “swipe right” on your business?
