How Tarif Küpü Uses Storyly to Increase Page Views with Tappable Recipes

Tarif Küpü is a food and drink application with more than 2000 recipes in many different categories with clear, easy-to-understand instructions and itemized ingredient lists. 

Some of the features of the app include written and video formatted recipes, shopping lists, and recommendations. Users can sort recipes by category, add them to favorites, share and comment on them. 

The app aims not only to provide recipes, but also to teach users how to cook with  its rich library of instructional materials on the art of cooking. Challenges

As a content platform, Tarif Küpü is focused on increasing session duration, content consumption, and engagement. Tarif Küpü wants their users to make a habit of coming to the app and increasing their brand investment and loyalty. Of course, all of this eventually contributes to monetization objectives, since longer session times and retained users mean more ads being served. 

With many content platforms and apps chasing the same goals and facing similar challenges, Tarif Küpü needed something different to succeed in a competitive space; a smart and unique twist that would enhance the way they communicate and connect with their users. 

This is where Storyly stepped in!

Solution

By bringing the well-known story format to mobile apps, Storyly made it possible for Tarif Küpü to establish a new way of communicating with their users. Since integrating Storyly, Tarif Küpü has benefited from various features that directly tackle the engagement and retention challenges of the app.

The story format was a perfect fit for a content app like Tarif Küpü that publishes step-by-step tutorials and rich media. Storyly helped Tarif Küpü to engage users with an innovative yet familiar experience.

By importing highlighted Instagram stories to the app, Tarif Küpü was able to re-use social media content easily and maximize its content value by using ready-made engaging Storyly templates.

Tarif Küpü has also benefited from the labeling feature of Storyly. Through dynamic labeling, Tarif Küpü can identify user preferences and highlight relevant content with stories. If a user browses the pastry section, for example, the stories featured on their homepage will be updated automatically to appeal to their interest. 

Tarif Küpü has also benefitted from the interactive features within stories, which allow them to engage users with polls, quizzes, rating options for recipes and content and more.
