TL:DR
Project Detail / Snapshot
Context
Pashouses is an Indonesian home buying and selling platform. By early 2023, we had saturated most of our reachable audience in Jabodetabek through direct online and offline channels, and the funnel showed it.
Problem
Transaction volume was flat-to-declining for three consecutive months. Tickets were down across both online and offline channels. The C-level question landed on my desk: how do we restart growth without just spending more on ads we'd already optimized to death?
What is Cari-Cari Rumah?
Cari-Cari Rumah is Pashouses' referral marketing program where you can earn additional income by recommending Pashouses as a home buying platform to your friends, family, and acquaintances through the link refer.pashouses.id, which can be accessed via smartphone or laptop.
My Role
I owned the diagnosis end-to-end. Running the funnel analysis, prioritizing the constraint, and proposing the solution to leadership. Once Cari-Cari Rumah was approved, I led the program design, partnered with the marketing team on offline and online campaigns, and worked with engineering on the dedicated submission portal at refer.pashouses.id.
Approach
I mapped Pashouses' transaction funnel onto a MECE framework to find the actual bottleneck:
Overall Prioritization
Leads Generation: Ensuring a steady flow of qualified leads is critical for maintaining the funnel's top. SPK / UTJ: Reducing cancellations will have a direct impact on improving the middle to bottom of the funnel. Conversion to Ticket: While important, this stage is less critical than ensuring a steady lead flow and reducing cancellations. DO / AJB: Enhancing the conversion rate here will drive overall success and revenue.
Leads Generation: Prioritization
The constraint was clearly top-of-funnel. Three options on the table:
Expand geography beyond Jabodetabek (high cost, slow) Expand audience type beyond direct buyers/sellers (medium cost, untested) Open a new channel via referral / partnership (low cost, fast to test) I recommended Option 3. Referrals don't compete with paid channels. They unlock people we'd never reach with ads, and the cost only triggers on actual conversion.
