The Kitabisa Story

Founded in 2014 in Jakarta, Kitabisa (literally meaning “We Can”) is an Indonesia-based online fundraising and donation platform. Their mission is to connect people with causes they care about, becoming the only giving platform and app they need.

Kitabisa has seen phenomenal growth in four years with a user base of over 2.3 million which has collectively raised over 731 billion Indonesian Rupiah (US $ 51.4 million) for over 26,000 campaigns supporting social causes.

The platform enables individuals, communities, non-profits, and companies to raise funds by creating a fundraising page for various social, personal, and creative endeavors.

Challenges

  • Multi-channel Marketing User Activation & Onboarding
  • Personalization at Scale Marketing Automation at Scale
  • Contextual Engagement User
    Retention

As the leading fundraising platform in Indonesia, Kitabisa wanted to actively engage its 2.3 million user base across the web as well as through its mobile app. The app showed a high number of transactions, and Kitabisa wanted to focus on improving retention rates for their loyal users and maximize their lifetime value (LTV).

They knew the First Time User Experience (FTUE) is critical for the success of any app. Additionally, Kitabisa noticed that over 50% of its users dropped off between app installation and onboarding. After the first launch, these users would not register or sign up to pledge for their first donation, which was one of the core challenges Kitabisa hoped to overcome.

Solution

In order to gain a better understanding of their users’ journey, Kitabisa leveraged CleverTap’s analytics features including funnels and cohorts. These features enable them to identify the friction points, usage, and churn trends.

They also use this data to create actionable segments by sending relevant messages on the channel users are most likely to interact with, for example, an in-app notification during a first-time app launch.

With the use of Journeys, Kitabisa orchestrates seamless omnichannel marketing campaigns at scale without requiring any additional coding.

This has not only reduced marketing’s dependence on their development team, but also resulted in an improvement in week-over-week retention rates and LTV.
