The Challenges of Finding Meaningful Experiences

Inauthentic, uninteresting reviews lacking context, charisma, and verifiability

Finding authenticity online can be a challenge. Written reviews often lack the author's charisma, tone, and context. At a glance, it's difficult to tell if the same person wrote more than one review, or if the review is even real.

BEFORE <-

1. Fake reviews

Modern, wise consumers have a healthy mistrust of online reviews. The modern consumer has seen their manager post a good Google Maps review for their own store. He's had a faceless profile reach out to him on Etsy, offering 10k likes in exchange for money. She's had an internet company offer free installation if the she leaves a 5-star review online.

2. Difficulties describing experiences

What did the experience feel like? What types of things will you see? How fun was it? Verbal descriptions only go so far when it comes to conveying experiences.

3. Lack of engagement

Text reviews are relatively stale and static. They don't grab people's attention. You don't feel the charisma and personality of the reviewer.

"Their remarkable blend of professionalism, punctuality, and high-quality output is what truly distinguishes them."

The Solution

Shakadabra: Engaging, trustworthy, and useful

With this platform, users post video reviews of experiences. More engaging than simple text, these videos convey explorers' personalities and excitement.

For providers, these videos draw in potential customers. Additionally, Shakadabra offers providers the use of AI to improve descriptions.

The reviews serve as visual evidence to verify customers' attendance. The platform only allows users who've purchased the experience to make a video review.

Too, the speaker's enthusiasm, tone, and facial expressions convey useful information. What did the experience feel like? The excitement in the explorer's voice says a lot.

Get inspired by experiences shared by others

Explorers immerse themselves in the experience feed, an engaging flow of video reviews. They scroll through captivating snippets, discovering gems, finding their next adventure.

This home feed shows users experiences close to them, related to their interests. It also shows popular reviews, and those by explorers they watch (also known as "follow").

Specific searching, quick booking

The mobile app provides a dedicated tab that helps the user search experiences. The user can define many things. Price. Place. Dates. Interests and categories. Ratings. Languages. All to find the experience with the perfect fit.

The booking process is just a few steps. Users select the time, number of people, and how to pay. Payments are available through Apple Pay, Google Pay, Paypal, and any credit/debit card. With a Stripe integration, everything is managed safely.

The user receives notifications and emails before and after the experience. These ensure the user's attendance and prompt them to share a review.

The more you experience, the more popular you become

Each completed experience earns the user points. The app has its own leaderboard. Users who live the most – and share video reviews – climb the leaderboard.

The popularity algorithm calculates all the shakas (likes), views, and comments. Mainly, the algorithm uses the number of experiences the explorer has shared.

Only explorers who have purchased and attended experiences can post reviews. In posting reviews, explorers gather watchers (followers). Visually-appealing profiles show how many experiences explorers have attended and in which countries.
