Insights From Martech Mashup 3.0 To Ensure Product Acquisition, Engagement, and Retention
The first industry talk of Martech Mashup was shared by Anirban Das, Head of Product of Dunzo, who drew important links between the principles of sports and games to one’s product. Referencing Reiss’s Theory of “16 Basic Desires”, Das underlined how applying 9 gaming mechanics such as progression and appointment can better connect with and retain users to drive product growth. From his experience, users were willing to engage when these elements were present within one’s product.
Another session was presented by Varun Ramamurthy, Group Vice President and Business Head of Netcore Cloud. Ramamurthy, who also founded Hansel.io, a venture-backed SaaS start-up acquired by Netcore Cloud in 2020, dived into tips on setting one’s hypothesis before designing a product. The four steps to structuring a valid hypothesis to creating an effective product includes, “Observe”, “Ideate”, “Weed”, and “Frame”, a framework he applied for his own journey with Hansel.io.
The keynote session was executed by this year’s guest speaker — Nir Eyal, who wrote the award-winning bestsellers, “Hooked” and “Indistracable”. In his session, the behavioural design expert explained how the most effective products in the market have all changed their user behaviour. While they might have started off as regular tools, these platforms have worked in a “Hook” pattern to retain its users to return. What this means is that they have successfully connected their users’ problems to their product, which serves to solve these problems for the users. Eventually, a habit is cultivated in their users to return to the product.
The event also saw three sessions of panel discussions, featuring experienced leaders from GoJek, Dineout, Myntra, airasia, viu, and many more, who shared their industry insights on how to build customer experiences with a product-first mindset, maximising funnel conversions with data-driven experiments, and how to gain product-led growth.
