Opportunity

Improve user retention week over week by making meeting new people a part of their weekly routine

3 month retention +25%

When new users sign up for consecutive weeks, they are more likely to stay active after 3 weeks

45% users already do this

Users already sign up for the same time every week to meet new people

More satisfied users

Users are happier with the people they meet when more signs up, because they are more likely to meet more relevant people.

Contributions

Spec'd project with CTO and project lead engineer for growth

Spec'd, conducted, and reviewed user research with Head of UXR

Worked with 1 FE and lead engineer for build and review

Designed from idea conception to launch

Biggest Challenge

Changing established habits and expectations for how the product works

Other challenges

Balance between giving the user control automating matches

Managing user expectations and ghosting

What do we prioritize?

If prioritize:

1

Edit upcoming meetings

2

Skip this week's meetings

If prioritize:

1

Review times

2

Edit times for the week

Decision: hide options in settings page

Ultimately, we decided that though we did not want users to meet their meetings, allowing them to easily edit or cancel their recurring meeting defeats the purpose of the feature.

This flow is now live on Lunchclub.com. If you go through the sign up flow, you will see these last couple of pages to select your time slots. The four week retention for new and existing users did improve quite a bit for awhile, but tapered off.
