Match Socially, Safely

Have you Joined Youpid yet? Get Matchmaking!

As a consumer facing business, Team Youpid often has to answer the quintessential question – Why should I buy your product? Why Youpid? It’s a great question that we get asked very often and get the same pattern of Q & A with our users – here’s usually how this conversation goes…


+ You’re Thinking: Youpid is only for single people. I’m married / already hitched!
BIGGEST mis-conception! Fact: Youpid is for everyone. Youpid is all about matching socially and safely and safety comes from collaborating with a close knit group of friends and family, which is YOU: the married and already hitched folk, we’re talking to you now! :) The fact that you’ve gotten invited to join Youpid by your single friends means that they consider you to be part of their private and trusted social group that they are now looking for to support them to find a match.

Besides, its just GOOD karma to help your friends, isn’t it, so lets start racking up those karma points!



+ You’re Thinking: Why join Youpid? Let me introduce my single friends via email right now.
Sure, that’s the obvious thing to do isn’t it? Umm, not really. We underestimate the power of our sphere of influence and our social reach as only a social network can exploit. When you join Youpid and bring your trusted circle online, you’re causing a ripple effect by allowing your single friends to connect with singles that you know, your friends know, your friends friends know – taking it waaaayy beyond what just an email connect can achieve!

+ You’re Thinking: Youpid is like other matrimonial sites, I’ll just search for anonymous profiles, why invite anybody?
So, this one is easy. Forget matrimonial portals, internet sites and what have you. In real life, you make informed decisions and recommendations form a big part of how we decide to choose one thing over the other, this is true in any sphere of life. Sure, the decision lies with you alone, but getting a OK from a trusted source makes a HUGE difference, life is all about RECOMMENDATIONS!

So, if you’re finding a match for yourself, wouldn’t you feel better if you had a recommendation to make possibly one of the most major decisions in your life? That’s really the key point with Youpid – we harness your social network and help you find a match from singles that are KNOWN to your extended circles. Do you really want to make such a big life decision on a hunch alone?

+ You’re Thinking: Why use Youpid? I’ll use Facebook instead, why YET another social network?
This has got to be the most popular question by far! That’s because its a great question, we live in the time of Facebook and its obvious to ask this question. The answer is surprisingly simple and we find that our users often arrive at the answer themselves. It goes back to how we conduct ourselves in real life. Would you want to scream from the rooftops that you wanted to find a match? Would you randomly approach people you think are single to ask them if they were interested in marriage?

Of course you wouldn’t!

Facebook is a generic social network which makes it akin to shouting from rooftops and approaching seemingly single people for matches! This is where a dedicated matrimonial social network such as Youpid comes in and fills the void. What’s more, it integrates nicely with Facebook, so you can invite friends & family who YOU trust from Facebook to join you on Youpid. Privacy is topmost on our feature list and we would never scream from rooftops on your behalf! Pretty soon, you’ll be able to match-make your single friends right out of Facebook (how cool is that!) with our Youpid application that’s in the works!

Matrimony, as our users resoundingly concur, is a social affair but conducted within closed and trusted social circles. Traditional matrimonial classifieds / websites and social networks such as Facebook are a poor substitute for how we effectively conduct matrimonial searches in real life. Youpid is a manifestation of that social activity, but, online and ready to make matrimonial searches a breeeeeze!


Youpid makes matrimony SAFE. Don’t you want that for your friends & family? It’s about time!

Social Matrimony – Ready or Not!

The last couple of weeks have been really busy for Team Youpid. We’ve been working on introducing new features, attending startup events and we also got written about in the Press!

 

Bangalore Mirror featured Youpid.in to highlight how meeting people online is fast becoming the norm!

 

An excerpt from the Sunday Bangalore Mirror on 7th Feb 2010

 

While regular matrimony sites and boring meets are getting out of vogue, neo-matchmakers have sprung up on the scene to play cupid. So, you have singles who are ready to mingle, catching up at a little game on the golf course, a paintball session, a cocktail making workshop or even at a social networking site…

SMARTER MATRIMONY
And since we are in the digital age, the marriage between social networking sites and matchmaking cannot be far behind. Couple Ruchika Abbi and Akash Saxena’s venture – Youpid takes off on that principle. So, you have a website (www.youpid.in) which works a lot like Facebook or any other social networking site. Ruchika elaborates, “Once a single person signs up at the website, he / she invites two or more of her friends who then invite two or more of theirs. Once the network spreads, singles among the circle get to know each other. Youpid is a social networking site catering only to matrimony.” The website is targeted at the 25 – 40 years age group…

 

Are YOU Ready?

We keep getting asked if Indians are ready to use social networking for Matrimony? The answer to that is that Indians are already looking for alternatives to traditional matrimonial sites. Since there is a lack of alternatives they end up using social networking sites like Orkut/Facebook. However, not everyone on Orkut/Facebook is there for the purpose of finding the special someone. This ends up in not-so-special experiences! To be unsolicited by someone when you are not interested or to not know if the person you’d like to know is interested in matrimony is one of the biggest drawbacks to using these sites for matrimony.

 

An article in Sunday Times (Feb 14 2010) echoes this, a lot of people are using social networking sites and are requesting their friends to introduce them to their single friends. A recent survey by Pinstorm shows how more people are rejecting traditional matrimonial sites and using social networks to find a spouse.

 

Its very clear that finding matches on social networking sites is on the rise. However, its all about using the right forum and approaching those who might be interested otherwise such interactions can quickly become unpleasant. Youpid bridges this gap and facilitates connections with other like minded members. Youpid uses the power of social networking and helps you connect with people who are truly interested in finding that special someone.
