2025

LINE MAN Mart Cross-Sell Design Challenge

✶ A 2 days design challenge on improving the integration of LINE MAN Mart cross-sell opportunities within the food delivery flow to increase Mart order conversions without disrupting the ordering experience.

My proposed design solution ~

Designed an interaction that displays relevant Mart items based on the user’s ongoing food order.
Users can directly add items to their cart from the same flow, minimizing friction and cognitive load.
Once items are added, a mini cart interface appears, showing updated total costs or reward information if promotions are available - a small yet engaging feedback loop motivates users to explore and proceed with checkout, enhancing both convenience and purchase motivation.

✶ The main goal of my proposed design solution is to boost LINE MAN Mart’s conversion rate by promoting relevant products at the right time and place ~ making the cross-sell experience fast, intuitive, and rewarding without interrupting the main food ordering journey.
