In the fiercely competitive ride-hailing industry, attracting and retaining both passengers and drivers is essential for sustained growth. Our client, a leading ride-hailing company, faced significant challenges in diversifying their user acquisition strategies and expanding their market presence. Here’s how we helped them achieve rapid growth and success through strategic user acquisition efforts.

Overcoming Challenges

1. Diversifying User Acquisition: With an established presence in key markets, the client needed new and scalable traffic sources to acquire fresh users. Traditional channels were becoming less effective due to extensive use.

2. Attracting Paying Users: The primary goal was to attract paying users, including both passengers and drivers, to ensure consistent revenue generation.

3. Market Expansion: Expanding into multiple countries across Europe, Latin America, and South Asia was essential to increase market share and establish a global presence.

4. Optimizing Marketing Efforts: Reducing marketing costs and optimizing team efficiency were critical for long-term sustainability and growth.

Strategic Solutions

1. Launching Targeted Campaigns: We initiated the first campaigns to attract passengers and drivers in the client’s strongest markets, including the USA, UK, Europe, and Brazil. Each campaign was customized to meet the specific needs of the region.

2. Setting Realistic KPIs: Client-specific KPIs were established for the cost of installation and user acquisition. This included benchmarks for attracting paying users through the first payment event and optimizing for 7-day advertisement revenue and retention rates.

3. Optimizing Campaigns: We launched multiple campaigns with different optimization strategies, including installation, registration, and first trip or first completed order. Continuous automatic optimization of bids, placements, and creatives ensured maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

4. Developing Creative Hypotheses: Collaborating with the client, we developed hypotheses and approaches for creatives, enabling entry into new markets in Southeast Asia (SEA) and Latin America (LATAM).

5. Expanding to New Markets: Successful strategies were scaled to additional countries, allowing us to capture new markets and significantly expand the client’s business footprint.
