Weak Customer Relations

Understanding and catering to customer needs is crucial for any business, especially in a subscription-based model like Zooca's. The company needed to develop a more customer-centric approach to better understand their target audience and tailor their products and services accordingly.

Ineffective Marketing Strategies

Zooca's marketing efforts on their website and other channels were not yielding the desired results, which necessitated a thorough exploration of new marketing strategies to maximize their reach and sales potential.

Users and Audience

Zooca's target audience consists of health-conscious consumers who prioritize sustainable, nutrient-rich products. Their diverse customer base includes young adults, families, seniors, and B2B customers from international markets. These users seek high-quality Omega 3 products, a seamless online shopping experience, and tailored customer service. To cater to the unique needs and preferences of each customer segment, Zooca must adopt adaptable marketing and UX/UI strategies that focus on accessibility, value, and trust-building, ensuring a positive experience for all users.
