5. General Daily Life Problems with Payments
I want to pay via
my Debit/Credit
card but can’t
trust these E-
commerce
companies-Will
they deliver on
time if I pay early?
I was not at
home, but my
child was. The
delivery boy came
and left since the
child did not have
enough money.
Cash back offers
are valid on the
same app under
certain deadlines.
I want to use it
over other apps.
My dress was
billed at 970
naira. But the
courier guy did
not have
change. So I
had to give him
1000 naira.
6. There are other problems too…

7. Product Improvement
So, Zoto needs to act
as a wall against the
laid back
infrastructure and
fulfil all the desires
of the customers
But How?
Effective Marketing
Strategy
9. Feature
1
Live Banking
Server Notification
We inform the customer , in real time, whether the
servers at the bank’s end are live or are experiencing
some down time. We also provide notifications when
the bank’s servers come back up.
10. From a technical standpoint, this can be achieved by pinging
the banks servers (say with a frequency of 1 minute).
How does it work?
The green and red dots show the bank’s
uptime and downtime respectively.
By clicking on the 3 dots, the user can
activate notifications for when the servers
come back online next
Notify me when the servers come online
11. The user clearly understands the issue is not at our
end
The user knows when the servers are up and will
be able to transfer money
How does it solve the
issue
Payments.Made.Easy
The user is notified when the servers are back online, so he
can transfer money into his wallet. This will also lead him to
transfer more money, when he can.
Our Promise: Your trust is foremost. Your money
is yours until you get what you paid for.
12. FEATURE 2
OPOD-
Online

on Delivery
Use Cash

Your Way. Cash
back will be
rewarded to the
wallet account
which can be used
on any app linked
to the wallet
Pay Wherever
Whenever. Even
if the adult

house aren't home,
they can process
the payment
remotely from
their mobile apps
No need of
Change. You
don’t have to

Anywhere
Put any

without the
hassle of being
present there
with cash.
Cancel
Payment
Anytime. You
will receive
instant cash
back if the order
does not reach
you in time
As part of its future expansion strategy, when ZOTO decides to align with E-Commerce players to allow
payments through its wallet, the OPOD provision would be a strong differentiator bridging the relevant
and significant gaps.
13. Cash On Delivery was a breakthrough in countries like India and Nigeria and it really helped the
conservative customers get through the hurdle of online shopping payments.
However with this model , Digital Wallets do not get utilized.
But COD already
exists, then why
OPOD?

Why Nigerians prefer COD?
Customer side:
40% of orders are
sent back because
they are either
arriving too late, or in
bad shape.
Merchant Side:
It increases the
cash cycles for
companies.

But, there is something
different
Sellers need to integrate ZOTO API’s to their app,
to enable OPOD mode of payment.
Then, when a customer selects OPOD as a
payment option, the money gets deducted from
the ZOTO account but remains midway
and only gets transferred at the time user receives
the order and selects ‘Process Payment’. Else on
cancelling payment, it comes back to the
user’s account immediately

20. Because we still remember
them…
For the awareness phase, we propose ZOTO use a mascot.
A sample of this mascot would look like this :
21. Educating the
customers

videos in
cafes
and

world cup

23. Why we need E-mail Marketing?
Keep customers from going completely
cold, and get them back into the active
customer loop.
Sending automated mails based on
behavioral triggers has proven to be the
best method to improve engagement
The mix of Value Addition and Lead Nurturing mails, conditions people to respond positively to our e-mails
Our entire Active Customer Campaign is a
Behavioral E-Mail Campaign, wherein based
on how the users interact with our platform,
we decide which form of engagement to offer
next.
Aim- To increase
customer transaction

Research has shown, more than 81%of sales happen after the 4th
contact with the customers. Moreover, only 12%companies are
currently making enough contact with the customers to ensure consistent
success. Our Active E-Mail campaign would allow us to leverage this gap,
which so few companies are actively pursuing.
24. Active Customer Campaign

Objective: Maximizing the number of transactions per user, to build Trust and
make them Repeat Users
25. Let’s walk through the Email Cycle :
Day 0: Welcome Mail
Then,
Day 9: Refer a friend Mail
•The relevant content and benefits for the customer in
the mails received, will condition customers to open
the mails and read
• This should be addressed by the CEO to build trust
• Preferably, this should be a reply-able mail id
26. Day 30: Value Bait Incentivizing Mail Then, To continue engagement
Day 39: Send a ‘Refer to Friend’ mail and
make it simpler for users to use coupons when
they do perform desired actions
•Send offers as a reminder and value bait
• Up-selling is possible here by bundling offers
27. Day 60: : In case they still haven't used our services, maybe
they’re having difficulty understanding how to use our services.
Send this making it easier for them to cross the next hurdle.
On Day 90, the Value Bait mail is sent again
But this time with the best
offers we have. The
attempt is to keep the
customer from going
completely cold, and
bring him back into the
transaction loop.
(Offers should be rolled
out based on Life Time
Value Analysis.
Example: Assume 100
customers are being sent
this mail. Let’s say 30% of
them would ‘open’ the
mails. That gives us 30
people opening our mails.
Further, assuming 30% of
this set, clicks on our CTA,
we get 9 people who have
performed our desired
action.
Now the offers rolled
out in this Value Bait
mail, should be based
on the Life Time
Value added by these
9 customers)
On Day 120, if the user has still not used our services, we
move them over to a Cold contact list.
We still engage with this list, but minimally.
28. At any point in
time, if the first
purchase is made,
we send the ‘First
Use Thank You’
mail, and move the
customer back into
Day 1 in the Mail
Cycle.
This ensures the
user is
continuously
engaged and
maximizes the
likelihood of them
becoming repeat
customers.
31. ZOTO – PAYMENT WALLET FOR UBER NIGERIA
As per a CNN
Money study,
Nigeria can serve
as a bigger market
than London for
Uber
Uber is looking
for new and
robust payment
options in
Nigeria
Since Zoto now has a license for
digital wallets in Nigeria, this can be a
profitable consideration for future
expansion strategies
32. Currently, Infinix brand phones are the best selling smart phones in
Nigeria in 2015. So, tying up with Infinix to feature Zoto as an in-built
app in their phones would further our agenda of rapid customer
acquisition.

34. Calabar Carnival is one of the most celebrated festivals in Nigeria.
Both
Calabar
and Zoto
relate to
the youth
Huge traction
for Zoto as
the festival
runs for a full
month
This year
the theme
of the
festival is
‘Climate
Change’
So, Zoto can
leverage this
opportunity by
bringing in
schemes that
contribute a small
percentage to
tackle the climatic
changes
Apart from traction,
this act helps in
establishing a
perception about
Zoto as a socially
conscious and
caring brand
35. Influencers

early adopters of
