Problem

Company Context

Collectify is a digital collectibles platform specializing in trading cards, rare memorabilia, and digital art. With over 2 million users, the platform has seen rapid growth, particularly among hobbyists and collectors. However, user engagement metrics reveal a significant gap between casual fans, who engage sporadically, and high-frequency collectors, who frequently buy and sell items. Understanding the differences between these segments is crucial for enhancing user experience and driving revenue.

Problem

The product team at Collectify has observed that casual fans typically engage with the platform occasionally, often purchasing items for personal enjoyment, while high-frequency collectors actively trade and seek to build extensive collections. This distinction is crucial as it informs feature development and marketing strategies. Currently, the platform lacks tailored features for these user segments, resulting in missed opportunities for engagement and monetization. User research indicates that 70% of high-frequency collectors feel underserved by existing features, while casual fans express confusion about the platform's offerings.

Deliverables

  1. Define the key differences between casual fans and high-frequency collectors, including motivations and behaviors.
  2. Propose specific features tailored to each user segment that enhance their experience and engagement.
  3. Develop a user journey map for both segments, highlighting pain points and opportunities.
  4. Identify metrics to measure the success of the proposed features.
  5. Outline potential trade-offs in feature prioritization based on development resources and timelines.

Constraints

  • Budget limited to $200,000 for feature development.
  • Timeline of 3 months to launch the new features.
  • Must ensure that new features do not alienate existing users or disrupt current engagement levels.
