Effective Marketing Tools and Strategies for Multi-Service Super Apps

Updated: Nov 18


In today's competitive market, promoting a Super App with multiple services like ride-hailing and food delivery requires a cohesive marketing strategy. This article outlines actionable insights to help you make the most of your marketing efforts.


Below is a summary of the key takeaways from our recent webinar, hosted by Playfood's Key Partners Manager, Vera Kozlova.


03:42 Getting started: Building a Foundation


Integrating marketing strategies starts with understanding your audience. Start with thorough market research and competitive analysis. Identify pricing models, customer pain points and promotional tactics that work.


The next step is to define your Unique Value Proposition (UVP). Clearly articulate why users should choose your Super App and how it solves their problems. To ensure your campaigns resonate, segment your audience into cohort groups such as ride-hailing users, food delivery customers and Super App power users.


Pro Tip: Take advantage of cross-promotional opportunities to encourage users to explore multiple services. Highlight the unique benefits of using a single platform for different needs.


11:30 Digital Marketing Channels


Social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook are your gateway to direct customer interaction. Use short-form video content such as Instagram Reels or TikToks to attract attention and create virality.


User-generated content (UGC) is another powerful tool. Authentic videos or testimonials from real users can build trust and encourage others to try your services. Combine this with targeted ad campaigns on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Tik-Tok or Google to drive app downloads.


Pro Tip: Enhance your app store listings with engaging visuals and descriptions to improve discoverability.


23:58 Offline Marketing Strategies


While digital strategies are essential, offline marketing can complement your efforts. Distribute branded flyers and stickers in partner restaurants or high-traffic locations, and encourage app downloads with QR codes.


Creative advertising, such as unique banners or branded courier uniforms, increases visibility and builds curiosity about your super app.


Pro Tip: Engage with the local community at events or gatherings to build brand loyalty.


27:55 In-App Promotions


Once users are in your app, focus on retention and adoption across services. Push notifications are a great way to inform customers of special promotions or new features. Marketplace banners with enticing visuals can draw attention to specific offers and drive conversions.


Pro Tip: Align in-app messaging with external campaigns to create a seamless user journey. Update visuals and campaigns regularly based on performance data.



Running a food delivery business requires a solid operational foundation, in-depth knowledge and strategic investment in marketing. But when executed with a strong strategy, the rewards can be substantial — transforming your Super App into a highly profitable, multi-service platform that attracts and retains loyal customers.
