Audience

So, who exactly are the peeps raving about Vero? According to a blog post by Business Insider “its growing user base skews heavily male and heavily millennial, according to app-analytics firm Apptopia” (Insider Inc, 2019). Furthermore, the audience age bracket ranges from 21-40. It was reported that the app user numbers tripled from 1 – 3 million in a matter of 24 hours. The growth even crashed Vero’s servers!

WHERE THE HECK DID THESE USERS COME FROM?!

There are 588k posts, as well as comments that utilize the #vero hashtag on Instagram. Therefore, its pretty frikin obvious that the masses are users coming from the land of the Gram of Instant (lol). This also suggests that many of Instagram’s users can potentially make the switch now that a BETTER option for digital marketing platform actually exists. What makes me draw that conclusion you ask? (Here is why)…

Vero has also gained a profound customer base of popular influencers, whom we all know carry the life of social media brand awareness/marketing today in their own creative content. This solves the issue for brands in Vero’s Ad free app environment. Brands have the opportunity to leverage themselves through these individuals whose impressive following unlocked influence that was once only for celebrities. If you ask me, I believe brands are better off having success without the annoying ads and bot messages that are unwanted and ignored by most users. It can actually do more harm than good. It can be flat out annoying, and people want real thoughts, feelings from actual people whom they can relate & interact with. SIMPLE.

Influencers, lifestyle and entertainment social media marketing seems to be the new direction that brand wave is riding. Click video, or check out the link embedded below to view one of Vero’s Influencer marketing campaigns.

In the competitors section we covered some examples of vero user types. To continue, Vero also attracts many humanitarians, and unique artists such as marine photographers. The platform’s squad has even teamed up with musicians and charity organization to birth Vero’s Great Guitar Giveaway

Competitors


Pertaining to the realm of competition, Instagram is Vero’s rival. Like Instagram, Vero is heavily based on marketing digital content (photos, video, and music). However, Vero is more broad in the manifestations of marketing for its Audience or users. Unlike Instagram, this app also gives users the option to share books, podcasts, and multiple links. Thus, enabling users to obtain a more personalized construction of their account. An example of one who may benefit from Vero is an author seeking to market his or her novel sample. Another example may be a pastor, or clergy leader who seeks for his/her sermons to penetrate the masses via podcast/ voice memo; not just a one minute clip.

Unfortunately for Instagram, Vero’s users enjoy exploring Sponsor Ad free content. Vero also took an in-depth approach to alleviating privacy concerns; this is frikin awesome! Recently, Instagram released the “close friends” story option that gave users the option to only share story posts with a selected group of followers. Vero furthered this concept with the options of acquaintances, friends, close friends and followers. Meanwhile It’s no doubt that Vero is a revamped IG. I see a very strong potential to Vero obtaining a solid user base, and even gaining IG users that decide to make the switch!

Another aspect that separates Vero from IG is its set of core company values. In addition no ads, bots, scams, or spam Vero values authenticity and transparency. I went digging around on the company site and came across some other unique value propositions. Here are a few quotes about what they value. They will soooo will succeed at standing out to you.

“MOST SOCIAL NETWORKS REDUCE EVERYONE TO A FRIEND OR A FOLLOWER. THIS ENCOURAGES US TO ONLY SHARE THE PARTS OF OUR LIVES WE THINK ARE THE MOST INTERESTING.

WHEN YOU CAN CONTROL WHO SEES WHAT, YOU CAN BEHAVE IN A WAY THAT IS MORE NATURAL, WHICH WE BELIEVE ENDS UP BEING BETTER FOR YOU.

SO WE DECIDED TO CREATE SOMETHING MORE AUTHENTIC.

WE CREATED A SOCIAL NETWORK THAT LETS YOU BE YOURSELF. HENCE THE NAME VERO. MEANING TRUTH.” (Vero Labs Inc, 2019).
