Research
We sent a survey form to 500+ users who had chosen Porter Packers and Movers as their relocation partner in the last couple of months. We received 200 responses from the users talking about their good or bad experiences with Porter. I also interviewed 20-25 customers to understand their pain points after and before choosing Porter as their relocation partner.
Once we had enough input from the users, I and Product manager sat down to discuss and prioritize the problems that we were gonna pick first.
Pain points and strategies
Transparent Pricing: The pain points of the users were we have 60-70% of users who come to Porter Packers and Movers service to see the quote and for that, they have to go through a long process to see the quote, which was very frustrating in itself. So we implemented transparent pricing, now users can see the quote by just giving their pickup and drop location.
