Understanding Pain Points to create Impactful Solutions
Starting Point
Yummy’s wanted to focus on identifying and solving the most significant pain points of its target customers. Understanding these pain points was crucial to developing solutions that would create immediate value and set us apart from competitors.
Role & Responsibilities:
As the Founder, I know that I wanted to create a customer-centric product that deeply understood users’ wants & needs and acted as a solution for any frustrations they may have with competitors' products. I led the initiative to uncover customer pain points and frustrations through extensive user research and competitive analysis. My role involved analyzing user feedback, segmenting pain points, and working with stakeholders to develop impactful solutions that could address these challenges to provide solutions that helped us to establish Yummy’s as a brand that users could trust and rely on.
Key Contributions:

Identifying Customer Pain Points:

Through analysis, I identified several key pain points, including the unreliability of business partners' quality, low-value discounts, only providing introductory offers and having to purchase multiple memberships to encompass all aspects of family life eg: one for kids' extracurricular classes, another for family days out etc
