Strategy: Drive Slow Days, Not Compete with Busy Days

The Problem

Weekdays (Mon-Thu) see 40% less foot traffic than weekends. Merchants have empty slots, staff are idle, fixed costs don't stop.

Our Solution

Category-specific 15% cashback days on slow weekdays. One category per day, creating urgency and habit formation.

Expected Outcome

30-50% traffic lift on sales days. Merchants see ROI, users build weekly habits, Nuqta becomes the "sales day" destination.
