How to grow your money app with seasonal workers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Seasonal workers often move to another town or country for a few months, get paid there, then need to send money home. A money app that makes each of those steps simple can win their trust for every season to come.
Learn what makes it hard
Talk to people who do seasonal work and ask:
- How were you paid last season?
- How did you send money home, and what did it cost?
- Was it hard to open an account where you worked?
- What language would you like the app in?
Make it easy to start
Workers arrive, start straight away and leave again. Signing up quickly on a phone, in their own language, matters more than anything else.
Help them send money home
Show the full cost and how much will arrive before each transfer. Families at home rely on that money, so being clear and reliable builds loyalty.
Grow through the group
Seasonal workers often travel and live together. One person who finds your app useful will show the others, and many return to the same place each year.
