Research Unpacking
  • Data analysis pointed that majority of even those who spend the min $50 don't enter the draw

    • Encouraging an up-spend to have a chance at winning the lucky draw didn't show promising

  • From behavioral audit and contextual inquiry, it was clear that the process to enter the lucky draw was fairly effortless 

    • We could optimize the journey further to remove remaining frictions but using fragment cards and Liner Unpacking of the qual research, we discovered there was a bigger attitudinal gap
