Despite offering a wide range of products, the company was struggling to attract and retain customers. As a result, the company realized it needed to innovate its business model to stay relevant and grow its customer base.
Innovation:
The company decided to use the services of Anima to help them innovate their business model.

The company also introduced new features such as a rewards program for customers who made environmentally conscious choices and a carbon offsetting program for delivery services.
Outcome:
The business model innovation increased customer engagement and revenue. The new customer segment brought in significant revenue (35,000 AED/m), and the company’s overall customer base grew as a result of the positive reputation it gained for their eco-friendly initiatives. The company also became more competitive due to their focus on sustainable products and services.
