Where to find bike sharing users in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Bike sharing users

Bike sharing users want to easily locate and rent bikes. However, they can't get it because they struggle to find bike sharing stations with available bicycles.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. BikeBuddy.

BikeBuddy - Bike Sharing Station Finder : BikeBuddy is a mobile app that provides real-time information on the nearest bike sharing stations, bike availability, and the ability to reserve and unlock bikes through the app. Of course it is much better than the stuff from Citi Bike, or Lime!

How to find Bike sharing users

You can get insights about the pain points of bike sharing users if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where bike sharing users hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of bike sharing users, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: BikeBuddy - Bike Sharing Station Finder.
