 WHAT IS SERVICE DESIGN?
Service design is a process in which the designer focuses on creating optimal service
experiences. This requires taking a holistic view of all the related actors, their interactions,
and supporting materials and infrastructures. Service design often involves the use of
customer journey maps, which tell the story of different customers’ interactions with a
brand, thus offering deep insights.
The Changing Nature of Services
In the past, a service and a product were typically two different things. Products were
tangible items you kept (like a car), while a service was something intangible you used (like
the postal service). Most companies would primarily offer one or the other.
Today, the lines are increasingly blurring. Where once the customer would buy their music
(either as a CD or MP3), today they are just as likely to use a service like Shopify or Apple
Music.
This is the reason companies are adding additional value to products by adding services to
them. Many companies are having to adapt to providing services for the first time, while
others are struggling to manage increasingly complex services with unfamiliar digital
components.
Acc. to MARC STICKBORN and JACOB SCHNEIDER there are total five basic principle of
service design
1.User-centered, through understanding the user by doing qualitative research
2.Co-creative, by involving all relevant stakeholders in the design process
3.Sequencing, by partitioning a complex service into separate processes.
4.Evidencing, by visualizing service experiences and making them tangible
5.Holistic, by considering touchpoints in a network of interactions and users.

Service Design provides a systematic and creative approach to:

1.Meeting service organisations’ need to be competitive
2.Meeting customers’ rising expectations of choice and quality
3.Making use of the technologies’ revolution, that multiplies the possibilities for creating,
delivering and consuming services
4.Answering the pressing environmental, social and economic challenges to sustainability
fostering innovative social models and behaviours
5.Sharing knowledge & learning”

customers close and extracting more value from them. By providing top-notch customer
service, brands can recoup customer acquisition costs and cultivate a loyal customer base
that will refer friends and colleagues.

doesn’t invest a small percentage of its budget in customer service.
Customer service relays to customers the actual brand image.

revolutionize and grow customer base as it gives insights into improving your products,
marketing, goals, employee training etc.

 MARKETING STRATEGIES OF BEWAKOOF
FACEBOOK AND JUSTDIAL
In the initial days the company used two major platforms Just dial and Facebook to market
and promote their products initially. For Bewakoof Facebook has been one of the most cost-
effective and impactful marketing partners and has provided them a truly holistic solution
Facebook helped them in building their brand in the initial days, boost sales, reach audience
on a massive scale and engage them.
The effect was clearly seen and in less than a few months, their Facebook page got
engagement of more than 75 thousand users.
AFFILIATE MARKETING:
To drive traffic to their official website marketing was done using the two most famous
Facebook pages. These pages kept the customers occupied for their engagement the
Facebook uses memes and trolls on their website.
1. “2 min Aaya Yaar Raste Mei Hoon”
2.” bewakoof.com”
The strength of the brand is their appealing and attractive trendy quotes that are printed on
different t-shirts and various products. It attracts the people in their first appearance.
WHATSAPP
WhatsApp helps Bewakoof.com to trigger 15% of online sales.
The company wanted to launch its sales process through a mobile messenger because it is
most feasible mode to connect with the customers in a shorter period of time. And for this
they used WhatsApp because in the present day it is more widely used by customers.
Bewakoof.com conceptualized an interesting idea, which is to launch its ordering process on
WhatsApp. It created a simple platform to wherein to shop for a product, the person had to
mention the product name, his/her name and address and send a WhatsApp message to
7666655001, which is the official number for this service.
The first instance was if the customer knows what he/she wants, they were simply supposed
to ping and tell Bewakoof about their requirement. This was a usual matter of making online
purchase.
Another instance that Bewakoof substantiated was that if by any chance internet’s slow
speed acts a hindrance for browsing the entire set of collection, then to retain their
prospective buyers, it was simply asked to ping Bewakoof. In response to their desired
product, they will send the images of what they have in store.
Last but not the least, if any customer gets lured by any of the product(s) offered by
Bewakoof on its online portal, which his/her was already using, then the aspiring customer
could send them a picture of that product. By doing this, Bewakoof will place the order on
that buyer’s behalf.

14 | P a g e
 YOUTUBE AND ADWORDS
Bewakoof brand began leveraging AdWords smart display campaigns and YouTube’s True
View for shopping ads.
They wanted to maximize their return on investment (ROI) while keeping minimum costs
and risks associated with adopting a new advertising platform. They also want ways to keep
cost per acquisition (CPA) as low as possible for each new customer.
AdWords smart display campaigns gave Bewakoof brand powerful machine learning
capabilities that targeted only the most ideal and users that are likely to convert. Whereas
with True View Ads, the company will only have paid if a customer clicks on or watched a
video to completion.
These two pronged strategy allowed the business to create a cost effective display that only
going to target convertible users.
Bewakoof mostly chose True view for shopping campaigns to ensure their videos Ads
provided info about their offerings, this allowed them to bring customers that much closer
to purchase.
These Ads used Bewakoof existing merchant centre product data to generate shopping
cards, allowing them to display up to six shopping cards on a video Ad at a time.
With the help pf True Ads, they saw a 4X ROI and a CPA 37 percent lower compared to other
video Ad platforms while reaching significantly more shoppers. They also achieved a 13X ROI
with smart display within 2 months of launch of campaign. Even with the help of Ad words
their market share is also increased.
PARTNERSHIP WITH E-COMMERCE SITE
The company also promoted their products, through tie up with many top brand e-
commerce sites to sell their products including Snap deal, India times Shopping and Seventy
mm. Because these are the sites where more customers shop so they can target more
audience.
THE VIRAL EFFECT STRATEGY OF MARKETING FOR BEWAKOOF
In the starting they just started with the men collection but later own they launched women
collection, the products were good so word of mouth helped them a lot. If a man likes a
product line he tells it to 2 people, but if a lady likes a brand, she tells to at least 20 people
about it. They believed that the viral effect is much more in case of women’s category.
They focus more on design and timely delivery, which are the proposition on to grow viral.
In case of men’s category, the traffic is very organic and they denied on virality to grow, but
in case of women they spend very less in marketing because it is the word of mouth that
works.

15 | P a g e
 COLLEGE CAMPAIGNS
Apart from this, the company also created some extensive college campaigns where
students are supposed to spread bewakoofy around the college campus and free tees
provides them from the company, and even they send students five Bewakoof posters and
students need to put them up in their college and once done they need to send the pic to
Bewakoof and they will ship them free tee. because the product is directly related to
millennial generation so this marketing strategy directly target the potential customers and
converted them into sales.

 RECOMMENDATIONS
SERVICE STRATEGY
1. KIOSK INSTALLATION - If Bewakoof cannot establish brick and mortar stores because of
big investments, it can install retail kiosks in various malls. A retail kiosk (also referred to as
a mall kiosk or retail merchandising unit, RMU) is a store kiosk of varying size and shape,
which is typically enclosed with the operator located in the centre, customers approaching
the vendor across a counter.
The appeal of kiosks and carts is that they are relatively easy to set up, low maintenance,
highly accessible to a very targeted buying audience and are less expensive than opening up
a retail storefront. Bewakoof can install such kiosks in various malls and these kiosks will
have complete information regarding the products available, the customer can select the
merchandise and place their order instantly, henceforth, deliver the merchandise at the
customer's doorstep.
2. OPTION OF EMI PAYMENT - Various e-commerce sites like Amazon, Myntra provide EMI
option to their customers to buy products from there site. Giving such options makes it very
convenient for the customer to pay for something which they require a hefty amount from
them. When all the other major competitive e-commerce shopping websites are providing
this option then Bewakoof should also not lag behind in providing such services to their
customers which will help them increasing their customer base. The customer has to shop
for minimum fixed amount, then he’ll able to avail the EMI payment option on the total bill.
3. CUSTOMIZATION SERVICES - One of the major competitors of the brand Bewakoof is
brand "The Souled Store". This brand provides its customers the option of getting their
merchandise customised as per their wish. For instance - Customers can get their favourite
characters printed on the choice of their T-shirt, they can get personalised uotes written on
t-shirts, mugs etc. All these personalised services provided by the brand makes the
customer feel more connected to the brand.
Bewakoof should also imbibe such services and provide them to their customers. This will
not only increase their customer base but will also make the customers feel more related to
the brand.
4. RETURN POLICY - All the e-commerce shopping websites, whether it be Amazon or
Flipkart or Myntra, all the shopping portals have a return and exchange policy that extends
up to 30 days. While if we see Bewakoof's return and exchange policy it extends only up to
15 days, that is half of what its competitors are offering. Hence, Bewakoof should also
extend its return and exchange policy and make it applicable for the customers to be able to
return or exchange the product up to 30 days of merchandise.
5.EXCHANGE AND BUY – Since t-shirts don’t have a long life since either the print fades
away or the fabrics worn out, the brand can have a strategy in which it allows its customers
to exchange the old and used t-shirt at a given amount, and that amount will be balanced in
their future purchases. This will also count in their CSR deeds as they are promoting
sustainability through reusing and recycling old clothes.

17 | P a g e
 MARKETING STRATEGIES.
1. INFLUENCE MARKETING - Since the brand is not a high budgeted brand, it can collaborate
with various influencers on YouTube, Instagram etc. Influence Marketing is the new trend
these days that is followed by all the small and big brands. Influence Marketing directly hits
the youth segment of the market which is quite active on social media. They can send their
merchandise to youtubers and influencers on other social medias. While the influencers will
get product for themselves, Bewakoof will get promotion. Hence, the brand can collaborate
with various youtubers, fashion bloggers to promote their brand on social media which will
act as leverage in increasing the brand's presence in the market.
2. LIVE INTERACTION – The brand can go live on its website and other social media. It will
increase the brand’s interaction with the customer and customer will be able to relate more
with the brand. Bewakoof can go live in videos to launch its new collections, hear to the
queries of its customers. It can personally address to the grievances of the customer.
3. SOCIAL CAUSE CAMPAIGNS – The brand can address some social issues like sustainability
and incorporate their take towards sustainability like recycling and reusing old clothes, etc.
in their ad campaigns to attract more conscious customers since they are catering to youth
which is quite aware of such social agendas.
