The goal
Design new feature for the app that will:
Enhanced User Experience: improve the overall experience for WAO! Shop sellers by providing them with in-app tools. These tools should streamline the advertising process and make it more convenient for sellers to reach potential customers directly within the platform.
Retain and Engagement: a series of meaningful features, the project intends to increase user retention and engagement on the WAO! platform. By providing sellers with the necessary tools to advertise effectively, they are more likely to stay active and engaged on the platform, rather than seeking similar tools elsewhere.
Monetize: By empowering sellers to advertise to their customers within the WAO! Shop platform, aiming to create additional revenue streams, potentially through advertising fees or premium features.

Impact
The addition of new features to the WAO! Shop app will significantly enhance user experience by offering sellers convenient in-app tools to promote their products directly within the platform, eliminating the need for external advertising resources. This improvement will boost user engagement, as sellers actively participate in promoting their offerings, leading to a more dynamic marketplace environment. With increased visibility and engagement, sellers can expect greater revenue potential through enhanced product exposure and sales. Additionally, the convenience and effectiveness of these features are likely to foster stronger platform loyalty among users, resulting in higher retention rates and a more dedicated user base.
