Business background

users were purchasing low or negative gross margins products. To achieve healthy GM, Allofresh (e-grocery app) needs a way to balance the GM of low margin products with high margin products. so the idea (from the business team) is to offer bundling packages that encourage users to purchase high-margin items and alongside negative margin items

Step 1: Desk research and understanding

i ran through some of the past research reports made by previous researchers (for other projects). and i found some insights that might help me during the design process.

here are the relevant insights i gather:

  1. our users are willing to buy in bulk as long as they can get cheaper prices, as observed in churned users. This boosts our confidence that this feature will perform
  2. user needs to understand easily that the price will change on checkout page, not on cart page (we used to have separate page for cart and checkout)
  3. user needs a way to know that the products in their cart are in bundles
  4. user needs to fell that the bundling promotions is interesting enough

Challenges & constraints

i had Q&A sessions with the product managers for me to understand the technical challenges and the requirements and i found some constraints

  1. we can’t treat bundled SKUs as one SKU (e.g. Bundling Item A), it is not feasible to merge several SKU IDs into one single parent SKU IDs
  2. Final bundling price can only be seen on checkout page (not cart page, we used to have separate page for cart and checkout) since the way we put the bundling discount is to set the voucher for the user. but voucher can only be set on checkout page
  3. we can’t add another row of new components on our product card grids
  4. the business team won’t offer users a fixed set of items in one bundle package. but users can choose the items that they need in the set and they will get the bundling discount as long as they meet the requirement.

Step 2: Competitor benchmarking

i (and with some helps from the Product Manager) took a look around at our competitors and other apps to see how they do it. Not only on interaction side but also the visual side (icon study, etc)
