Objectives

Surprise Box Sale was planned as an experiment, in place of the regular sales we used to run every year - The Independence Day Sale (scheduled around 15 Aug). We decided to remove the old school landing page and try something new.

Apart from re-invention and experimentation, these were some business goals we wanted to hit with Surprise Box Sale, and how we did it:

Primary Goals

Increase social media engagement across channels

• YouTube subscribers
• Facebook (Likes on Groups and Pages)
• Google Playstore reviews, Android app download numbers

Secondary Goals

Increase Revenue (compared to last year)

Results

+25%

Increase in FB group members (GATE Aspirants - ME/CE)

+500%

Increase in Google Play Store reviews

+19,486%

Increase in number of Google Reviews for one of our Classroom centers in Delhi

2nd Biggest Sale

2nd Biggest Sale of the year (by revenue)

Kickoff

The co-founders came up with the idea of ditching the traditional sales and try something new.

The entire team got together to brainstorming ideas, working out the user-flows, technical, design and marketing challenges.

Exploring concepts with sketches

It did not require extensive sketching of layouts to get started with the project.

Once a basic architecture was more or less defined, I moved into wireframing to further ideate and iterate, before eventually finalising the UI in Figma.

Initial explorations for user flows and layouts of various pages/screens - landing page, states etc

Some more explorations

Wireframes

We decided to allow coupon codes to be applied to almost all courses, instead of showing a select courses in as designed in the 4th wireframes.

Courses are divided in categories and their count could've run into 10s or 20s, which would've been a nightmare to navigate through via horizontal scroll or in responsive version.
