Product Experience: The Backbone of Your Product’s Success

  • Behavioral Science, Consumer products, Customer Experience, Design

In an ever-changing world, businesses need to be ahead of the curve to keep their products competitive: what “ahead of the curve” means for digital products right now?

IDEAS IN BRIEF
Product Experience: The Backbone of Your Product’s Success

Answering the question “Who should own product experience?” we have to consider that delivering an outstanding product experience is a goal cross-company.

  • Alignment between the following departments becomes crucial: product, customer support, sales, marketing, product leadership.
  • How PX and CX are aligned? Product experience demands more than ever synergy between product teams and customer-facing teams; loyalty comes from a seamless interaction with the product itself.
  • The primary source of customers’ trust is the personal experience they get from the first-hand usage. Here are three key strategies to improve it.
    1. Data that can be transferred to feedback. There are two main groups of tactics to get consumer feedback: qualitative (interviews and surveys) and quantitative (conversion rate or bounce rate).
    2. Continuous analysis. Here are some things you should keep an analytical eye on – retention, flows, adoption, churn.
    3. Customer engagement or user ever-lasting love. Working with it, you have to consider: in-app user onboarding, intuitive design with proper information, personalization, in-app notifications, or emails.

PX brings special clarity to the inseparable connection between product and customer. Never forget: caring about a performant product is taking care of customers’ interests before anything else. Read the full article for more details on this important concept.

IDEAS IN BRIEF
Big brands go direct to the consumer in a crisis
  • Spurred by the coronavirus pandemic, some of the worlds biggest brands are opening online stores serving products direct to customers’ homes
  • PepsiCo, Nestlé and Heinz all launched direct-to-consumer (D2C) offerings in lockdown, appealing to those who couldn’t leave their home, but were dead set on their favorite ketchup or kombucha brand.
  • Newly hatched D2C brands are now creating their own databases, analyzing behavioral and sales data to maximize marketing and profits. They are A/B testing – comparative user-experience research – new offers online and using their websites as labs for product research and development.
  • What the pandemic has taught many companies is D2C e-commerce isn’t just for smarter speciality startups that don’t want legacy retail and big overheads; it’s for all brands looking to drive preference, loyalty and repeat sales through a directly owned relationship.
  • “We believe there will be a ‘lockdown loyalty effect’. Consumers will remember the brands and retailers that got them through the darkest lockdown days,” Hugh Fletcher, global head of innovation at Wunderman Thompson Commerce concludes.
