Problem Statement:
Talabat Pro's growth is plateauing, and while subscriber acquisition and engagement are steady, the Average Order Value (AOV) is not growing sufficiently to drive higher overall revenue. The challenge is to relaunch Talabat Pro with a strategy that boosts both the average number of Pro orders and AOV, ensuring each order is more valuable while maintaining engagement and retention.
Context:
Goal: Increase Average Number of Pro Orders by 20% and AOV by 10% in 6 months.
