Bloka is an innovative digital wellness company that created The Bloka Tag, a revolutionary physical device designed to help people break free from smartphone distractions. The company developed a unique solution combining a magnetic NFC tag with a companion iOS app that allows users to instantly block distracting apps while keeping essential tools accessible. With features like customizable app blocking, lockdown mode, and website blocking on Safari, Bloka serves customers seeking intentional living and improved focus in an increasingly distracted world.
The Challenge
As a company selling an innovative product that many potential customers had never encountered before, Bloka faced significant educational challenges. The Bloka Tag concept required detailed explanation about how NFC technology works with smartphones, app compatibility questions, and clarification about the setup process. Many visitors arrived with questions about whether the product would work with their specific iPhone model, how the blocking mechanism functions, and what happens during lockdown mode.
The complexity of explaining a physical-digital product combination through traditional web content alone resulted in high bounce rates and abandoned purchases. Customers needed immediate answers about technical compatibility, shipping timelines, and detailed usage scenarios before feeling confident enough to make a purchase. With a 30-day money-back guarantee as a key selling point, addressing pre-purchase concerns was critical to reducing returns and building customer confidence.
Implementing messagemind™
Bloka integrated MessageMind's AI chat widget to provide instant customer education and support throughout the purchase journey. The AI was specifically trained on The Bloka Tag's technical specifications, iOS app functionality, compatibility requirements, and common use cases to address the unique questions this innovative product generates.
The implementation focused on the product page, where visitors needed the most guidance about how the tag works, and the checkout process, where final technical concerns often arise. The AI was programmed to proactively engage visitors showing hesitation patterns and provide detailed explanations about the product's digital wellness benefits and practical applications.
Key Outcomes and Achievements
1. Product Education and Understanding
MessageMind successfully handled 89% of product-related inquiries, covering technical questions about NFC compatibility with different iPhone models, detailed explanations of how the app blocking mechanism works, and step-by-step guidance through the setup process.
