Who it's for
Solo developer or 2-person team building a membership discount aggregator; sells to entertainment-hungry Nigerians (Gen Z, young professionals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt).
How to build it
1. Pick one high-frequency, high-spend category Nigerians care about (e.g. cinema tickets, restaurant dining, event bookings, or streaming subscriptions). Talk to 20 users first to confirm they'd pay to save.
2. Secure 3–5 vendor partnerships (cinemas, restaurants, or event venues) willing to offer 10–20% discounts in exchange for member referrals and data (no upfront cost to you).
3. Build a simple membership signup flow (email, phone, payment via Paystack), a members-only discount code/QR redemption page, and a vendor dashboard to track redemptions.
4. Launch to 500 founding members via WhatsApp, TikTok, or Instagram, price membership at ₦2,500–5,000/month or ₦20,000/year.
5. Track redemption rate and vendor ROI weekly; reinvest early revenue into SMS/email campaigns and 1–2 new vendor partnerships monthly.
