​

How do our customers repeatedly experience our core value proposition?

​

It's hard to plan and buy groceries for daily needs. Often, our customers forget to add some items to their grocery list, run out of certain products quickly, or need items that aren't available at the grocery store. Some needs are immediate, and the only option is to go to a nearby store to buy them. No matter how careful they are, no one can avoid these tasks. Blinkit helps users experience our core value proposition by offering a wide variety of products delivered to their doorstep in just 10 minutes. We serve as an extended list of stores for our users, all with in same cart, available in the blink of an eye.

​

​

How often do users use Blinkit? What is the natural frequency?

​

Based on user research, people use the service an average of 3.78 times per month, which rounds up to 4 times per month. We can simplify this by saying the natural frequency of Blinkit usage is weekly.

Further research indicates that loyal users use the service almost every day, or once every two days.

​

​

Are there any sub-products in Blinkit?

​

Currently, Blinkit is a standalone product focused on offering over 10,000 items that can be delivered in 10 minutes. There are no sub-products.

However, Blinkit provides various stores as features for users, including Grocery, Pharma, Electronics, and Party to Print needs. These stores offer multiple brand options, and all items can be ordered from the same cart.

Customer Segmentation Type: Based on Natural Frequency​

​

The frequency for casual, core, and power users is detailed in the table below. This user research links the monthly spending amount with usage frequency to better understand these user segments.

​

Although the natural ordering frequency is weekly, our users typically think and manage their finances on a monthly basis. Since they receive their salary monthly and plan their budgets accordingly, it makes sense to use a monthly time frame.

​

Engagement Framework:

​

The table below explores the importance of Frequency, Breadth, and Depth from the user’s perspective and identifies the primary framework used in engagement campaigns.

​

Engagement

framework

Definition

Priority

Reasoning/ Assessment

Frequency

Number of times

an user orders

Primary

Would our customers still order from Blinkit if
we added restrictions on how often they can order?
The answer is no. Having a choice of
accessing Blinkit service as frequently as user desires
is where the highest perceived value exists.

Breadth

Number of products

available to user

Secondary

Would our customers still order from Blinkit if
we reduce the product range from 10,000+ items
to 5,000 items?
As long as the regularly used products and favourite
brands are available, users don't care much about
the total number of products. However, a larger selection
does provide a sense of comfort to users.

Depth

Monthly Revenue

contribution of a user

=( Frequency *

Money spent in a month)

-

Would our customers still order from Blinkit if we
asked them to double their spending for the same
quality service?
It's hard to for user to predict and commit his spendings.
Users will not appreciate if they start receiving different
quality of service from Blinkit, as it would affect
their perception of the core value proposition
– 10,000+ products delivered in under 10 minutes.


Frequency is the most important factor, as users derive the majority of their value from the Blinkit service through frequent orders. This is followed by Breadth, which refers to the range of products available on the platform.

​

Exploring Product Hooks:

​

10 minute instant delivery is the ultimate product hook from the Blinkit to retain users.​

Still, let's explore the possibility of other product hooks. What else user wants or expects or derive value from Blinkit?
