[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings (PC: CSK/X) The team Things didn’t go to plan for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the 2024 IPL. They came into the tournament as the defending champions but failed to qualify for the playoffs. Injuries to key players played a part. Also, the team was going through a captaincy transition, with MS Dhoni handing over the reins to Ruturaj Gaikwad. After the tournament, this correspondent asked CSK chief executive Kasi Viswanathan about how the management reacted to the failure. He was never going to press the panic button. “We are not going to win every year,” Viswanathan had said. “We had several injuries. But we would be absolutely fine going ahead.” This is an out-and-out cricket franchise, totally aware of the highs and lows in sport. They don’t overreact. Ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction, CSK had a clear retention strategy, and they managed to keep hold of their core group of cricketers, the biggest takeaway being retaining MS Dhoni as an uncapped player. The former captain remains the heartbeat of the franchise. Auction purse The five-time IPL champions have retained Gaikwad and Ravindra Jadeja for Rs 18 crore each, Matheesha Pathirana for Rs 13 crore, Shivam Dube for Rs 12 crore and Dhoni for Rs 4 crore. In the process, they have spent Rs 65 crore. They will go to the mega auction in Jeddah on November 24 and 25 with a purse of Rs 55 crore, out of a total of Rs 120 crore. They will have to build the team around the retained players. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here MS Dhoni in action in IPL 2024 (PC: IPL/X) Areas they need to strengthen CSK need an opening partner for Gaikwad. Their famous spin-choke at Chepauk needs quality spinners bowling in tandem. They need at least one high-quality, hit-the-deck fast bowler. Also, at 43 years of age, Dhoni no longer remains the finisher he used to be. So, CSK would like to have a death-overs specialist with the bat. Players CSK would target It is learnt that Washington Sundar is high on CSK’s wish list. But the off-spinning all-rounder will be one of the top attractions at the auction and will not come cheap. The franchise can’t break the bank on just one player. If Washington is unattainable, Ravichandran Ashwin could be their back-up option. CSK, according to sources, are keen on having Mohammed Shami as well. Once again, it will depend on how the bidding pans out. Given their trend-set, CSK are unlikely to go beyond Rs 15-16 crore even for a high-profile player. Also, keep an eye on whether CSK bid for James Anderson, the 42-year-old England fast-bowling legend, who has come to the auction with a base price of Rs 1.25 crore. Following Dwayne Bravo’s departure, the Chennai-based franchise needs someone who can look after the bowling group. Anderson can fit into the player-cum-mentor role. Players they would like to buy back CSK released a lot of players they would have liked to retain – Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Mahesh Theekshana, Tushar Deshpande and Sameer Rizvi. The problem is that they can use only one Right-to-match (RTM) option at the auction. They could use it for Rachin.

How do I market a fantasy app in India?

Marketing a fantasy app in India presents a unique set of opportunities and challenges. The country has a large, diverse, and highly engaged user base, especially in the realm of fantasy sports. However, with the rise in competition, it's crucial to employ targeted, culturally relevant strategies to drive downloads and user retention. Here’s how you can successfully market your fantasy app in India:

1. Leverage Cricket's Popularity

Cricket is more than just a sport in India; it’s a cultural phenomenon. If your fantasy app is focused on sports, especially cricket, aligning your marketing strategy with the ongoing cricket season, major tournaments (like the IPL, ICC tournaments), or local leagues can generate a significant user base.

Why It Works: Cricket fans are highly invested in fantasy sports, with fantasy cricket being one of the most popular games in the country.

Best Practices:

Run marketing campaigns around major cricket events with ads showcasing the excitement of fantasy cricket.

Partner with sports influencers, commentators, or popular cricketers to endorse your app.

Create cricket-related challenges, leaderboards, or prediction games to increase engagement during the season.

2. Use Regional Language Targeting

India is a diverse country with multiple languages spoken across regions. To make your fantasy app resonate with a larger audience, consider running ads in regional languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, etc.) to reach users in their local language.

Why It Works: Users are more likely to connect with an app that speaks their language, both literally and culturally.

Best Practices:

Create ads, app descriptions, and in-app content in regional languages.

Use regional influencers who can effectively communicate with local audiences and bring authenticity to your marketing.

Target local communities and regions where certain sports (like Kabaddi or Football) have a strong following.

3. Influencer Marketing with Sports Personalities

India has a huge number of sports influencers and celebrities who can help market your fantasy app. These figures can increase your app's credibility and visibility.

Why It Works: Celebrity endorsements can significantly boost user trust and draw in a larger audience.

Best Practices:

Partner with popular sports influencers or athletes to promote your app.

Use their social media platforms to run campaigns, share tutorials on how to play fantasy sports, or offer special promotions.

Host live sessions or Q&A with influencers to build community engagement and trust.

4. Offer Referral Bonuses and Incentives

A great way to market your fantasy app and encourage users to share it with others is through referral programs. Offering bonus points, free tokens, or other incentives can drive organic growth and create word-of-mouth marketing.

Why It Works: People trust recommendations from friends and family, and a referral program can incentivize users to get others to join.

Best Practices:

Offer free entry to fantasy contests or bonus credits for every successful referral.

Create tiered rewards for users who bring in more referrals, such as higher-value bonuses or access to premium contests.

Promote referral campaigns aggressively during high-traffic times, like during sports events or tournaments.

5. Invest in Digital Ads Across Popular Platforms

India has a growing digital landscape with a strong presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads, and YouTube. Investing in digital advertising will help you target your specific audience more effectively.

Why It Works: With India's large internet user base, digital ads can target specific age groups, interests, and behaviors, allowing you to market your fantasy app to the right users.

Best Practices:

Run targeted Facebook and Instagram ads focusing on sports interests and fantasy sports.

Use YouTube ads to reach potential users with video content showing how to play fantasy sports and win big.

Use Google Ads to target search terms related to fantasy sports, such as “fantasy cricket,” “how to play fantasy football,” etc.

6. Create Localized and Engaging Content

Creating relevant content that speaks to your target audience is critical. Leverage blog posts, videos, and social media content that teach users about fantasy sports, tips, strategies, and winning potential.

Why It Works: Content marketing can build trust and educate your audience, which is especially important for users who may be new to fantasy sports.

Best Practices:

Write blog posts or create videos explaining how fantasy sports work, strategies to win, and the benefits of using your app.

Highlight success stories of users who have won big, as this can motivate others to join.

Share local sports news, player stats, and game highlights to keep users engaged and informed.

7. Utilize SMS and WhatsApp Marketing

SMS and WhatsApp are widely used in India, especially for communicating with the masses. These platforms can be effective for delivering personalized messages, reminders, and promotional offers to potential users.

Why It Works: A significant portion of the Indian population relies on SMS and WhatsApp for communication, making these platforms ideal for user engagement and re-engagement.

Best Practices:

Send out SMS/WhatsApp reminders about upcoming fantasy contests, new promotions, and sports events.

Use personalized offers to engage users who may have downloaded the app but haven’t yet participated in a contest.

Run special promotions or limited-time offers through WhatsApp, which users can easily share with friends.

8. Collaborate with Sports Brands and Events

Collaborating with sports brands, teams, or live sports events can give your fantasy app the exposure it needs to attract users in India.

Why It Works: Sports sponsorships or collaborations can build trust and attract fans who are already following sports brands or events.

Best Practices:

Sponsor local sports events or tournaments and integrate your fantasy app as a key part of the event’s activities.

Partner with sports brands or teams to promote exclusive fantasy leagues for their fans.

Run co-branded campaigns or offer branded merchandise as prizes in your app’s contests.

9. Offer Bonuses for First-Time Users

Offering bonuses to new users who sign up for your fantasy app can drive initial installs and create an incentive for people to explore your app.

Why It Works: Bonuses act as a reward for users trying out your app, which encourages them to engage and potentially become long-term users.

Best Practices:

Offer sign-up bonuses like free tokens or the ability to enter a contest for free upon registration.

Provide incentives for users to make their first deposit or participate in a fantasy contest early.

Market these bonuses heavily through ads, your website, and social media.

10. Ensure a Seamless and User-Friendly Experience

To retain users, it’s essential that your app offers a smooth, intuitive, and engaging experience. The simpler and more enjoyable the app is to use, the more likely users are to return and recommend it to others.

Why It Works: Users are likely to drop off if the app experience isn’t smooth. A well-designed app increases retention and positive word-of-mouth.

Best Practices:

Optimize the app for fast loading times, easy navigation, and an intuitive design.

Offer easy onboarding processes with tutorials or tips for new users.

Provide responsive customer support for users who may need assistance with gameplay or technical issues.

Conclusion

Marketing a fantasy app in India requires a combination of cultural understanding, strategic targeting, and creative marketing tactics. By focusing on cricket, utilizing regional language campaigns, partnering with influencers, and offering attractive referral programs, you can successfully attract users to your fantasy app. Remember to continually engage users with valuable content, promotions, and an exceptional app experience to keep them coming back.
