The challenge

Convert more users and sales through a digital layaway registration and management platform hosted on Mi Monte Digital Platform

Defining the problem

We designed the digital layaway experience based on a product strategy

Retail merchants have developed tricks and alternatives within their close circles to secure pieces that are not within their reach at the moment. 62% of retail jewelry merchants are accustomed to using alternative financial schemes to traditional banking. So we can assume that both ghost profiles and jugglers would be open to using layaway schemes that would help them obtain the desired pieces and not miss the opportunity at the moment.

Approach

Merchants will have the opportunity to accumulate points every time they purchase through the layaway system, surpass the average purchase ticket of the month prior to this system or recommend a friend and they register.

  • Gain greater reach among the community of merchants
  • Understand their purchasing habits
  • Increase the frequency and volume of purchase
  • Make them feel like they are part of Nacional Monte de Piedad

Hypothesis

Secure and grow your opportunities

Layaway high potential sale items even when they don't have a defined customer. This will allow merchants to take advantage of opportunities at the moment, increase the volume of unplanned purchases, and avoid the risk of someone else buying the pieces first.
