eXchangeFun Facilitates local reuse activities

Household items in fair condition are thrown away

Unused items are piling up in garage and storage

Although the options to trade and exchange used household items are currently available, the activity of trading used items could be better facilitated to engage more people.

Through the hours of conversations and observations we spent with our users, we found several designs to make reuse EASIER and MORE ENGAGING

People enjoy treasure hunting in local garage sales

People sell and buy items in local communities

We asked..

What they like and dislike about reuse?What entices them?What makes the treasure hunting experience?

Users say it is time consuming to post small items one-by-one

We came out with Tag-Post design that allows sellers to tag multiple items on one picture

In a concept evaluation, an untagged item drew our user’s attention and inspired him to take initiation to ask the seller about this item

Tag-Post was just one example. We carefully listened to our users and brainstormed innovative designs that delightfully invite more users to adopt eXchangeFun into their lifestyle. Contact me tfxing@gmail.com to learn more about eXchangeFun!
