Challenge

As a Product Manager at MyCamper, I contributed to building a two-sided marketplace that connects hosts and renters of camping vehicles. Guided by the vision of making camping accessible and promoting sustainable resource use, I focused on enhancing user experience and optimizing platform features to create value for both sides of the marketplace.

Goal:

Increase booking request conversions to boost GMV and reduce user drop-off.

Key Insights:

  1. Only 31% of renters re-attempt booking if their request is rejected.

  2. Hosts frequently decline requests due to outdated calendars and lack of responsiveness.

Solutions & Features:

  1. Search & Sorting: Prioritized vehicles with higher acceptance rates so users see reliable hosts first.

  2. Host Response Policy: Updated the vehicle overview and detail pages to seamlessly display campsite options, reducing user friction.

  3. Auto-Reply to Renters: Sent clear rejection reasons and encouraged renters to rebook another vehicle. Calendar Updates: Prompted hosts to update availability immediately after declining a request.

Results:

  1. Boosted booking conversion rate from 30% to 70%.

  2. Deactivated over 120 non-responsive hosts.

  3. Increased renter NPS by 21 points.

Learnings & Next Steps:

  • Educating hosts on the importance of accurate calendars is critical.

  • Future plan: Integrate notifications and incentives to maintain updated listings more consistently.

My Role:

Responsible for the host side of the marketplace. Ideation, data analysis and coordinating actions with customer support. Overseeing design adaptions and acted as product owner for the prioritization of tickets.

Professionals I worked with

Here you find some messages I got from colleagues after leaving my previous jobs,

  • Deine analytische Herangehensweise macht die Zusammenarbeit sehr einfach und effizient. Sobald du ein Problem oder eine Chance entdeckst, sammelst du Daten und präsentierst direkt 2-3 Lösungsansätze. Deine Proaktivität schätze ich extrem und macht die Meetings mit dir sehr wertvoll.

  • Thanks for this time! It's been a pleasure working with you. I really like how you work with data and base your decisions on that. And I also like your curiosity on the technical stuff and interest to learn :) And not the least, your spirit and humour has been a blast to have in the standups etc.
