Fun fact

The place where i live in bangalore does not have swish as of now. To get gist of what hyperlocal food delivery is all about i decided to order from the one operational in my area - Blinkit bistro

WhatsApp Image 2025-05-31 at 16.22.14.jpeg

Well, i was delighted. Haven't had such hot and crunchy fries before - sitting at the comfort of my home :)

So here is the next day, ordered coffee

ICP prioritization

ICP 1 and ICP 2 can be focused upon due to the following reasons -

ICP 1 (Urban Professionals)

  • High adoption + high willingness to pay = strong monetization
  • Reliable, repeat use during work hours
  • Great distribution via offices, slack, word-of-mouth
  • Trust and hygiene matter more → easier to build brand credibility

ICP 2 (Students & Young Adults)

  • Frequent, high-volume usage (late nights, group orders)
  • High adoption + largest TAM = fast growth
  • Great for viral loops, social sharing, and retention
  • Price-sensitive, but perfect for scaling after proving ops and trust









Understand the market

(Let's begin by doing a basic competitor analysis in a tabular format considering all the parameters for your product and its competitors)


(Then let's try to understand the market at a macro level and evaluate the trends and tailwinds/headwinds.)

Now it’s time for some math, calculate the size of your market.

TAM = Total no. of potential customers x Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU)
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage of the total market)

Detailing Referral / Partner program

(For B2B companies, if referral does not make sense you'll take a crack at a partner program for your product)

Step 1 → Flesh out the referral/partner program
Step 2 Draw raw frames on a piece of paper to get the gist.

(Don't spend a lot of time on design. This is for you to communicate how the referral hook will look)




we hope this helped you break the cold start problem!

Reminder: This is not the only format to follow, feel free to edit it as you wish!


Referral design


Step 1

Focus Area: Identify Customer Touchpoints

Details:

Trigger referral after-
• Repeat orders (2nd or 3rd)
• 5-star rating


->These indicate the user has experienced the core value (speed + quality) - AHA moment


Step 2

Focus Area: Define the Brag-Worthy Element

Details:

• “Got Maggi in under 10 minutes”
• “My food came before my next meeting”
• “Hot, fresh food. Faster than expected.”


->Can use these emotions in referral messages


Step 3

Focus Area: Define Platform Currency

Details

Primary: ₹100 off for new user, Rs 250 SwishMoney for referrer and Rs 100 Swish money for new user after 1st order.
Secondary: Dopamine (animations, celebration when a referral succeeds)


-> Start with money-based rewards, and layer dopamine later


Step 4

Focus Area: Determine When to Ask for Referral

Details:

• After a 5-star rating
• After 2nd or 3rd order
• In thank-you emails upon rating 5 star


-> These are “happy” moments with emotional peaks


Step 5

Focus Area: Referral Discovery Points

Details:

• “Refer & Earn” tab in Profile
• Push notification post-rating/order
• Order confirmation screen
• In-app banner (during idle time or browse mode)


Step 6

Focus Area: Referral Sharing Mechanics

Details:

Channels: WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, Copy Link, Email
Sample Message:
“My food came hot and fast in just 9 mins 😳 Get ₹100 off your first order and Rs 100 if you wallet after a successful order. Click here. #JustSwish”
• Visuals: Swish logo, emojis, offer highlights


Step 7

Focus Area: Referral Tracking

Details:

In-app “Referral Dashboard” in Wallet/Profile
• Shows:
→ Total referrals sent
→ Completed / pending
→ Rs earned in Swish Money
→ Individual referral status


Step 8

Focus Area: Landing Page for Non-Users

Details:

Headline: “₹100 off your first order”
• Subhead: “Plus ₹100 SwishMoney after your first order”
• Highlights:
→ “Food in 10 minutes”
→ Trusted by 100K+ users
→ App store badges
• CTA: Download App (with auto-code fill)


Step 9

Focus Area: Encourage Continuous Referrals

Details:

Tiered Rewards:
→ Refer 3 = Bonus ₹150

Push Reminders: For eg after 2 referral - “You’ve earned ₹250! One more = Get additional ₹150 + your Rs250 :)”

IMG_8680.jpeg












Detailing Content loops

Content Loop

(Keep it simple and get the basics right)

Step 1 → Nail down your content creator, content distributor and your channel of distribution
Step 2 → Decide which type of loop you want to build out.
Step 3 → Create a simple flow diagram to represent the content loop.


I am going to create the content loop for ICP2


Step 1

Audience understanding ->

Who are they?

  • Students & young professionals in Bengaluru
  • Heavy Instagram + WhatsApp users
  • Love memes, snackable content, and speed-driven novelty

Where they hang out:

  • Instagram Reels, Twitter/X, Reddit (r/bangalore), WhatsApp groups, college groups etc
  • Local creator pages, food blogs, campus meme pages




Step 2

Content loop design


Hook->

“How fast did your Swish order arrive? Beat the clock and win ₹!”

  • Prompt users to record a real-time countdown or stopwatch from the moment they order to the moment their food arrives.
  • Or encourage them to post a screenshot of the delivery time (e.g., “Arrived in 9:07 mins!”).
  • Framed as a challenge: “Faster than your coffee brewing? Prove it.”


Content creator ->

Everyday Swish Users

  • Anyone who receives their order in under 10 minutes is eligible.
  • The app nudges them to share right after a fast delivery.
  • Optionally incentivize them with ₹50 bonus SwishMoney for posting with tag & referral link.


Distribution channel ->

Instagram Reels + Stories + WhatsApp shares

  • Pre-filled CTA: “Post your timer or delivery time on Instagram and tag @justswishin with #SwishChallenge”
  • Add a personal referral code to the story (visible on screen or sticker)
  • Option to share on WhatsApp with friends: "My Maggi came in 8:43 mins. Use my code XYZ100 to try Swish."


Step 3 -


image.png


Additional ->

  • Influencer campaign: "How fast can your order arrive?" challenge
  • App-triggered prompt: “Your order came in 8:23! Want ₹50 more? Post your timer screenshot on Instagram + tag us.”






Detailing Paid Advertising

(Understand what is already being done, what is working out well and what needs to be stopped)

Step 1 → Define the CAC: LTV ratio. If your product has a healthy CAC:LTV ratio, proceed with paid ads.

Step 2 → Choose an ICP

Step 3 → Select advertising channels

Step 4 → Write a Marketing Pitch

Step 5 → Customize your message for different customer segments to ensure relevance

Step 6 → Design at least two ad creatives (e.g., images, sketches, videos, text ads) that reflect your marketing pitch.


Step 1 - CAC-LTV


Metric

Estimate

Avg Order Value (AOV)

₹120–₹150 (lower end)

Avg Orders per User/Month

6–8 (snacks, late-night meals)

Retention Period

4–5 months

LTV

Approx ₹2,700–₹4,500

Target CAC

₹250–₹500 (aiming for min 1:5 LTV:CAC ratio)

Inference - Healthy CAC:LTV so it paid ads are feasible


Step 2 - ICP


ICP 2: Students & Young Adults

  • Age: 18–26
  • Locations: Koramangala, Indiranagar, AECS Layout (hostel/PG-heavy zones) etc
  • Behavior: Late-night cravings, exam prep, group orders, cravings
  • Needs: Affordable, instant food (Maggi, chai, fries)
  • Platforms: Instagram (Reels/Stories), WhatsApp, Reddit, Snapchat


Step 3 - Advertising channels


Channel

Reason

Instagram Reels + Stories (Meta)

Visually driven, high daily use, meme/reel culture

Facebook (Meta)

PG/students’ groups, especially in 2nd/3rd tier

YouTube Shorts

Snackable content pre-sleep (8PM–2AM)

Reddit (organic/ads)

r/bangalore, student forums for credibility via UGC

Step 4 - Marketing pitch


“Midnight Maggi? Done in 10. Swish delivers hot snacks to your PG or hostel in under 10 minutes.

Late-night cravings? Solved.”


Step 5 - Segmentation


Micro-Segment

Message

Study all-nighters

“Exam stress? We got your Maggi.”

Group chill/hangouts

“Snacks in 10 for everyone. No mess, no drama.”

PG/Hostel people

“No kitchen? No problem. Chai, Maggi, fries in 10.”

Solo students / young working class

“Late-night hunger? One tap, it’s solved.”
