Challenge
To improve the understanding and emotional appeal of offers to Benefit
Discovery
Business goals
— create an offer card that serves as a powerful selling tool, engaging and encouraging people to explore the details of our offer if it piques their interest.
User problems
— cashback promotions aren't a familiar product in the marketplace, it's not always clear what I am offered and what I will receive
— when I see a offer from a brand that I don't recognize, I don't understand what type of product the brand offers or why I would need it.
— in suggestions It's difficult to find something that interests me.
Business problems
— there isn't one-size-fits-all solution for the offers, as it needs to be tailored and adapted to each context
— the offer doesn't spark my desire or interest to purchase.
— on average, there are 29 active offers, with a potential of 150 in the client's feed (for instance)
— changing offer cards can be a great way to improve OKR's metrics: share of realized users, share of purchased users who visited the section
Audience — 15 000 000 users, but segment:
There is a hypothesis that we work with people who follow the scenario of “I don't know what I want to buy, I go in to see if there is something familiar or fun”
— the offer looks line a banner
The first iteration of design concept
We went thinking.......
25+ offers concepts from the design team
Hypotheses
Let's form hypotheses from the business
— If we reduce the amount of info on the cards and make the cards smaller, we will increase conversions to a profitable purchase and cashback by ~ 2-3%.
— If we start from user tasks in the texts (for example, not "cashback 15%, but "order food and save 15% of the order cost"), we will increase engagement and conversions in purchases
Conclusion from first iteration
1. The offers must be tool for selling
2. Offers should increase the recognition of no-name brands, as popular brands sell themselves (logo+brand name)
Understanding hypotheses
— If we reduce the amount of info on the cards and make the cards smaller, we will increase conversions to a profitable purchase and cashback by ~ 2-3%. ⛔️
— If we start from user tasks in the texts (for example, not "cashback 15%, but "order food and save 15% of the order cost"), we will increase engagement and conversions in purchases — good hypothesis
The second iteration of design concept
Secondly — to take a step back
Answer with the business on questions — what is the main hypothesis? what is the goal of the new offer? what the vision? and so on
We reviewed all design concepts attempts
First of all, review the ready-made design, approaches and feedback
