The Challenge
Cardpool, owned by Blackhawk Networks, was a gift card exchange that makes it easy for anyone to safely and securely buy discounted gift cards or sell unwanted gift cards for cash. From 2009 to 2020, Cardpool helped its customers save over $40 million.
Their website had not been updated in a long time — its style paled in comparison to the competition, it didn’t position their brand and offerings well, and they offered no mobile experience to consumers. In addition, they also needed to roll out an iOS mobile app and in-store kiosks in the same new site style.
Goals:
- Redesign website and user experience
- Plan and design a new Cardpool iOS app
- Design and produce branded in-store kiosk experiences
