Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Sellers encounter challenges due to the diversity of store models, delivery options, and promotion tools available to them. The absence of a centralised resource within the marketplace complicates navigation and understanding of available options. The "Summary" section, while the primary dashboard for sellers, fails to address all queries effectively, particularly for beginners. Promotion tools are scattered across multiple sections, leading to confusion, and there's a lack of transparency regarding their effectiveness. Additionally, the presence of numerous information channels further complicates user interaction.

User Testing

User Testing

User Testing

User testing helped to provide a deeper understanding of user behaviour and preferences through direct observation and feedback. By optimising the customer journey map when setting up promotion tools and analysing sales, it was possible to achieve transparency and significantly reduce the user's precious time when using the marketplace. As a result, increased monetisation of Yandex.Market.
