Q: What are some new features or services you’ll
like MyRepublic to introduce?
Based on a recent customer survey, we identified that our customers want a cashback/shopping feature. We decided to launch this feature as it adds an additional source of revenue and potentially help to bring in new customers
KEY OBJECTIVES
01 Introduce a cashback/shopping service
The cashback service should be easily available in our mobile app for all existing MyRepublic customers. Cashback earned would be used to off-set their monthly mobile bill rather than withdrawing a cash amount.
02 Increase number of sign-ups
As part of phase II, we will create a promotional cashback website that targets non-subscribers. The purpose of the website is to highlight cashback benefits they can receive when they sign up for a MyRepublic Mobile plan.
Approach
As this is a new service, we would need to take reference from existing cashback platforms. We would use the insights gained from our competitor analysis to form an initial user journey and wireframes that will be tested with our existing subscribers.
Competitor analysis
Through analysis of various cashback platforms, we have narrowed the most common user journey as:
Homescreen
(with featured promotions)
Did they find any deals enticing?
All promo page landing
Search
Product Details Page
Checkout / Redeem
Purchase confirmation
Redemption History
No
Yes, clicks on promotion
Usability testing with 5 participants
We created wireframes based on the proposed user journey and tested it with users that indicated that they are interested in a cashback feature.

"The banner image in the mobile app really needs to grab my attention!"

Participant B

Participant C
"Besides lowering my mobile bill, I’d love to see more ways to use my cashback!"

Participant D
What went well
The average rating for the testing session is 5.9 out of 7.
The newly introduced advertisement spaces, including the banner image and carousel, effectively captured users' attention.
Users expressed that the information provided, such as terms and conditions, is adequate for making informed decisions.
Three out of five users appreciated that the cashback earned can be applied to reduce their mobile bill.
Users reported that the purchasing journey was seamless.
What could be better
In addition to their mobile billing options, users are seeking alternative methods to redeem their cashback, such as through roaming data or grocery vouchers.
Users desire more comprehensive information regarding declined transactions.
Users would appreciate visibility into an estimated amount of pending cashback.
Non-subscribers would benefit from receiving earlier notifications regarding their ineligibility for cashback during their journey.
Users have expressed difficulty in finding the Rocket Rewards page on the MyRepublic website.

Redemptions

Scarcity
UX Psychology applied:
Salience
We applied the law of scarcity to entice users to redeem the vouchers. By limiting the number of redemptions, our users are more likely to take immediate action. In addition, we added a banner on the home screen which would be the first image they notice when our users enters the app.

UX Psychology applied:
Foot-in-the-Door
We created a promotional website to specifically target non-subscribers as they do not have access to the MyRepublic Mobile App. The purpose of the website is to tempt the user with deals that are too good to miss out on. All they have to do is to register an email with us in-order to redeem. The email would be used as an advertisement channel for our other products.
