RESULTS
PROBLEM STATEMENT:
BUSINESS: We are not seeing the levels of user engagement that we want from the applications that we currently have.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
brightpeak Young Marrieds, Credit Union Emergency Savings Account Holders, Age 25-40
HYPOTHESIS:
If we give people who are trying to increase the amount of money they save an easy, fun way to save money instead of spending it, then they will save more, and see a change in their spending behavior, and the business will increase user engagement.
MEASURES OF SUCCESS:
Dollars saved per user
Engagement per user
User Satisfaction
Product evolution:
Through the lifecycle of Tap to Save, research and iterative testing was imperative. Competitive Analysis, focus groups, paper prototypes, qualitative month long user tests, UI preference tests, interviews, surveys, and pilot user tests were not only used to prove out the problem, but also pivot on the concept and functionality of the app. What started as a mindful based spending app featuring values based meditations, ended as a simplified behavior change savings app.
