Client Case Study: BEM, Kind Cards

The execution of the BEM, Kind Cards project presented several significant challenges that needed to be addressed to ensure its successful realization.

Firstly, creating an open platform where visitors could browse, select, and send eCards without registration was a considerable challenge. The typical eCard platforms require user registration for personalization and delivery tracking. However, to uphold the ethos of Kind Cards – simplicity and ease of spreading kindness – it was essential to make the platform accessible without such requirements.

Secondly, integrating the donation mechanism into the eCard sending process was another hurdle. It was crucial to ensure a seamless user experience where the donation process didn’t disrupt the journey of choosing and sending an eCard.

Thirdly, the project demanded the categorization of eCards, allowing users to choose cards based on different themes or sentiments. This required thoughtful organization and presentation to help users find the perfect card easily.

Finally, the platform had to uphold the aesthetics and heartwarming touch inherent in the physical Kind Cards. Translating the unique charm of physical cards into the digital format while ensuring they still held the personal, heartfelt essence was a significant part of this challenge.

Overall, these challenges required innovative solutions to create a user-friendly, engaging, and emotionally resonant platform for digital Kind Cards.

The second challenge, involving the integration of a donation mechanism, was handled meticulously. Zone1 integrated a secure and straightforward donation system into the platform, ensuring it was woven seamlessly into the user journey.
