The document analyzes the behavior design of Blippy, a startup that allows users to share their purchase histories. It discusses how Blippy encourages repeat visits through simplicity, triggers, and motivation. Blippy makes it simple to link credit cards, triggers sharing by reminding users each login. It motivates sharing through social networks, where early adopters bring curiosity from their friends, and through curiosity itself as unfamiliar purchases become mainstream on the site. By turning purchases into a social activity with minimal effort, attaching to an existing habit, and using triggers like credit card logos and email reminders, Blippy creates an addictive experience that keeps users returning.

Editor's Notes

  1. We then reinforce this behavior using facebook. We tag our users in funny, photoshopped images of lipbalm and gum. As facebook constantly notifies users about these image updates, the pictures serve as a subtle, funny, but also hard to mess message on wearing lipbalm. These online triggers help people overcome their forgetfulness by reminding them that they have chapstick and that they should wear it.
  2. Lip cancer is a serious issue- 3500 people get it each year. We want to change that statistic.
