AstroLive enables users to consult astrologers in real time by paying per minute or via wallet-based plans. While user acquisition and first-session conversion were strong, retention dropped sharply after the first astrologer session.

PROBLEM FRAMING

Missed Revenue Opportunities

Marketing campaigns successfully brought users into the app, and most new users completed their first astrologer consultation. However, once the session ended, a majority of users exited the app and did not return.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

Understanding the Drop-Off

To validate our assumptions, we analyzed user behavior and drop-off points using CleverTap. This was critical in understanding whether users were disengaging abruptly or if there were identifiable signals and intent leading up to those drop-offs.

HOW MIGHT WE

Encourage users to stay

We noticed that right after a session, users are highly intent-driven and emotionally engaged—making it a critical moment to encourage continued engagement rather than drop-off.

SOLUTION PROPOSED

Post-Session Nudge

The team aligned on introducing a contextual nudge immediately after a consultation ends. I was tasked with designing this nudge with three key goals in mind: increasing retention, driving wallet recharges or subscriptions, and maintaining user trust.

DESIGN DECISIONS

Continued Chatting

Design decision was guided by the intent to make the nudge feel like a seamless extension of the session—supportive rather than sales-driven—so that user trust and emotional continuity were never compromised.

OUTCOME

Impact after the Launch

Following the launch, More users chose to recharge their wallets instead of exiting, demonstrating that the solution effectively aligned business goals with a respectful, trust-first user experience.

REFLECTIONS

Key takeaways and Next steps

Given more time, I’d explore personalized offers based on session context, test delayed versus immediate nudges, and study long-term repeat consultation behavior.
