Ding Ding: Turning marketplace demand into loyalty-led growth
Ding Ding is a Hong Kong street food QSR that used Carpia to reduce reliance on delivery marketplaces, introduce loyalty mechanics, and turn repeat customers into a long-term growth asset.
Ding Ding
Ding Ding saw strong demand through delivery platforms, driven by peak-time orders and promotional visibility. However, this came with increasing challenges.
Despite healthy order volume, long-term sustainability was becoming harder to achieve.
Challenges
High delivery demand through marketplaces introduced several structural issues:
High commission fees reduced margins on every order
Frequent discounting became necessary to remain competitive
Customers ordering through marketplaces remained anonymous
There was no structured way to reward loyal customers or encourage repeat behaviour
Solutions
Launching a branded direct ordering link positioned as the preferred option for repeat customers
Enabling customer data capture on all direct orders
Introducing a loyalty program, powered by the underlying ordering technology provider
Supporting clear customer messaging around ordering direct and earning rewards
Maintaining delivery fulfilment through established delivery infrastructure
Carpia acted as the commercial and operational layer, managing setup, positioning, and ongoing optimisation.
Results
Higher repeat order frequency driven by loyalty rewards
Improved customer lifetime value
Reduced dependency on discount-led marketplace promotions
Stronger brand loyalty outside third-party platforms
Greater control over customer relationships and future growth strategy
Ding Ding transitioned from discount-driven demand to a more sustainable, loyalty-led growth model.
