Background

In the past June, PChome24h Shopping has been celebrating the anniversary with their shoppers. In June 2021, Taiwan is affected by COVID and cannot hold large-scale gatherings to invite people to join like in previous years. However, they still want to bring some cheerful activities that can be engaged together at home. Also, with the outbreak, people are asked to less go out, consumption habits changed accordingly, apparently "online shopping" becomes the best outlet for consumption. PChome24h also wants to seize this opportunity to increase customer shopping frequency and new membership. Objective: 1. Increase its shopping app downloads and new memberships. 2. Increase the purchase frequency and browsing time of both new and regular members on its shopping platform.

Describe the creative idea (30% of vote)

We decide to turn this APP for shopping into a fun and addictive mobile game! "PChome24h 21km Finger Marathon" (*In Taiwan, the abbreviations "k" is commonly used to represent "kilometer".) June, it coincides with the 21st anniversary of PChome24h. We turned the PChome24h APP shopping interface into a marathon racetrack, also the 21st anniversary into 21km distance. As soon as shoppers open the APP to shop, the race starts. All the tracks scrolled by fingers are converted into marathon accumulated distance. When consumers scroll on the product page with their fingers, they can see the accumulated marathon mileage next to the page, the longer the browsing time, the longer the accumulated distance.

Describe the strategy (20% of vote)

Statistics show, half of the world’s people are affected by COVID in their lives and work. And they are also forced to accept a new normal in life - wearing mask and less to go out in response to the outbreak. That made them have to stay at home almost 24 hours a day. Through research, we found that next to stocking daily necessities through online shopping, people play various mobile games to kill time. The average hours of playing video games per week increased by about 5.17 hours compared to before the outbreak. Almost all major e-commerce platforms faced shortages of video game products. It comes up to our mind that if we could transfer the App into an attractive game, our shoppers would like to spend more time on PChome 24h Shopping App?
