“60 million kgs of fabric is wasted every year in Pakistan alone.”Umar Qamar, Founder of elo (Export Leftovers) who has a textile background and comes from a family of entrepreneurs, saw a problem he wanted to solve and got right to it.
In 2013, when his father’s Canadian client went bankrupt and canceled a shipment of $150,000, elo was born. Umar created a website on Shopify, took pictures of products on his phone, and built a platform to sell leftovers from exports and from canceled shipments of orders. When he started off, Umar went about distributing 10% discount coupon codes to passengers in airport buses, and spoke enthusiastically about his small business. He was passionate, hard-working, and wanted to spread the word by connecting with his target audience. Before he knew it, elo was doing Rs. 100,000 in daily sales within 3 months of starting operations
Even though elo saw a lot of traffic on their website, their conversion rate was low. They needed to convert shoppers into paying customers. That’s when he turned to Plobal Apps to create a native app for elo. A mobile app strategy helped elo scale their business by reaching a higher conversion rate, bringing down marketing costs, increasing revenue, and enhancing the customer experience
elo directs resources into app installs and engagement, the two factors that highly influence app success.
selo adopts a two-pronged approach to scale their app installs: Recurring organic installs campaigns (ROIC) and paid ads.
Recurring Organic Installs Campaigns:For elo, one of the best strategies to get downloads has been through the Instalify app. Most of the early adopters of an app are the already existing loyal customers of the brand. Through Instalify, elo notifies customers about the existence of their app. elo also converts web visitors into app installs, thus using Instalify as a recurring channel. Accounting for up to 30% app installs, Instalify has been among the most successful user acquisition channels for elo
elo found that the app is its highest converting channel with a 4X higher conversion rate compared to its website. Customers on the mobile app spend 40% more as compared to the web. Based on this data, elo decided to scale their app install campaigns and launch paid ads on social media channels like Facebook.
