Unveiling the Heartbeat of Customer in the World of Swiping
In the fast-paced digital realm of modern romance, dating apps act as virtual cupids, orchestrating connections with a simple swipe. As the competition in the dating app industry intensifies, understanding the thoughts of the users is critical to enhance branding strategies. Whether you are passionate about dating apps, interested in the marketing field, or simply intrigued by the dynamics of human connection in the virtual realm, be ready to decode the language of love through this finding, and discover the digital cupids with me.
The questionnaire (https://forms.gle/NHkduyEvwrhGWBAp6) involved 100 respondents with diverse cultural backgrounds and in different ages. The details of the respondents are shown in the demographic charts below (Pic 1 & 2).
The questionnaire is divided into two parts. The first part is about dating app marketing and we will dive deeper into the customers’ perception of Badoo.
Part 1 - The Dating App World
Part 1 - The Dating App World Finding
People who haven't join us!
The survey kicked off by asking if the respondents use dating apps, with a notable 58% answering negatively. Digging deeper, a follow-up question regarding the reason for not being part of the community was also asked. The feedback shed light on a prevalent fear of scams and a preference for real-life interactions. In light of these findings, I would recommend Badoo to emphasize and showcase the safety features and highlight the security when creating advertisements. Organizing offline events exclusively for Badoo users might be a good idea as it creates a more holistic dating experience and attract non-dating app users to embrace Badoo.
What's the ranking of Badoo?
For the users who answered positively, my focus was to unravel the users’ expectations and the digital platforms. Participants were prompted to identify the dating apps they were familiar with. Well, Tinder is the champion, meanwhile, Badoo has only secured the intermediate position in this dating app hierarchy. It reflects the popularity and brand recognition of Badoo might not be as commanding as competitors.
What do us expect in dating app?
What about the users’ expectations? Without any doubt, features like Advanced Matching Algorithms help to find the users to match with their true love, followed by Privacy and Security Measures. Combining the result of the previous question, Badoo can actively promote Badoo by emphasizing the advanced algorithms and how it can protect the safety of the users.
Part 2 - let's put the spotlight on Badoo

How do they know Badoo?
Now, let's put the spotlight on Badoo, starting with how well-known it is. Most of the respondents have heard about it, mainly thanks to the grapevine on social media. Badoo's social game is strong, such as having its own blog, showing up on different platforms to communicate with the users, collaborating with influencers, etc. However, at the same time, not many people are catching wind of it through online and offline advertisements. The majority of people are claiming they've never caught a glimpse of any Badoo ads. Compared with competitors such as Bumble, Fruitz that are active in online and offline advertisements, Badoo seems to be silent.

Anyone using Badoo?
Here comes the essential question—who is using Badoo? Unfortunately, only 47% of them have used it. For the Badoo users, give Badoo a virtual high-five. Trustworthy, secure, and downright innovative are associated with Badoo. With features like video calling and the intriguing "bump into" features clearly catch the users’ sight. Users also find it user-friendly. But, here's the kicker: Badoo might not be the talk of the town.

How do they see Badoo?
In brand personality, users consider it a friendly, approachable app. Given that most dating app users are young and restless, it is important to position the app to be approachable, and trendy so the brand can target the right customers.
