Business Idea:
A secure and user-centric marketplace app that prioritizes trust, safety, and transparency, ensuring users feel empowered and in control throughout their transaction journey.
Problem:
Online marketplaces often struggle with building user trust, leading to hesitations, fraud concerns, and lack of control over transactions, especially in emerging markets like Nigeria.
Solution:
An intuitive app incorporating escrow services, real-time delivery tracking, and transparent communication features to foster trust and give users confidence in every step of their transactions.
Target Audience:
Online shoppers and sellers in Nigeria and similar markets seeking a safe, reliable, and transparent transaction environment, including small businesses and individual consumers.
Monetization:
Transaction fees, premium escrow services, and featured listings. Additional revenue from trust-building features such as verified seller badges and transaction insurance.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
A focus on designing every interaction around safety and control, ensuring trust-building is embedded at every touchpoint—making users feel secure rather than just focusing on the tech.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimal viable product (MVP) featuring escrow and delivery tracking in a selected city, gather user feedback, refine UX, then expand to broader markets with targeted marketing campaigns emphasizing trust and safety.
