Success Story — Optimalist
How we helped Optimalist increase conversion rate, user acquisition, and retention, get featured in Forbes, Vogue, Vice, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour, win the Latinas in Tech Startup Competition, and double their weekly growth rate.
Background
Optimalist is a HealthTech startup that has developed a mobile app for individuals and their health professionals to track and optimize mental health. The app provides users with personalized recommendations, exercises, resources, and insights based on their experts’ data.
Problem
When Optimalist first came to Smart Course, they were struggling with communicating their value proposition, pitching, low conversion rates, and difficulty generating consistent user acquisition. They needed to optimize their branding, digital marketing, and sales efforts in order to grow their user base and reach more people looking to improve their mental health as well as mental health professionals.
Our Approach
Smart Course worked closely with Optimalist to identify and address the key issues preventing them from achieving their desired growth rate. The first step was to conduct a thorough analysis of the business model canvas, value proposition, target market, app's website, user flow, and conversion rates which revealed a number of areas for improvement. Smart Course then worked with the founder of Optimalist, Dr. Maria Bruce, and the rest of the team to develop and implement a comprehensive branding, digital marketing, and sales strategy.
Key Strategies Implemented
Crafting a Pitch & Unique Value Proposition: Smart Course conducted thorough market research and identified key pain points and key needs of both of Optimalist’s ideal target customers, individuals already trying to improve their mental health but failing, and health professionals specialized in improving their clients' mental health. Smart Course then tailored Optimalist’s message to target those areas and show their solution is the best fit for those needs, helping them to stand out among the competition.
