What does the target audience say?

We interviewed representatives of the target audience, young people from Kigali, Musanze, and other large cities. Their answers gave us a lot to think about.

Audience
stick
Audience
Values and Ad Perception
  • Family, strength, and health are of priority, not “scientific” approach
  • Emotional and simple creatives work better
  • Complex terms and “government-style” symbols — ❌
Audience
Language and Style
  • Mix of Kinyarwanda + English is the most trusted format
  • Scientific tone doesn’t work. Better to be “simple and to the point”
Audience
Social Media and Behavior
  • Main platforms: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp. TikTok is less popular
  • People find products on Instagram, click on ads, but don’t always trust them
  • Online shopping still causes doubt, but COD (cash on delivery) builds trust
Audience
Purchasing Power
  • Willing to pay: from 10,000 to 50,000 RWF (≈ $7–40) per package
  • Most attractive format: discount + free delivery + user stories
Audience
Creatives
  • Likes: stories, benefit explanation, before/after, discounts
  • Dislikes: irrelevant names, boring texts, lack of doctors/testimonials
  • Add: local names, doctors, emotional cases
