UX and CX in ecommerce
• User (or Customer) experience is more than visual design and responsive website
• CX is crucial link between business goals and customer in digital channels• e.g. transforming business to web, people behave
differently in web and “real life”• Trends, expectations, “making it happen”
• Best practices
What customers expect as standard nowadays?
• Easy to find what I want• Appealing, inspiring content• Natural user journeys
eCommerce trends in 2016 and beyond
Personalisation, make my journey relevant to me! - based on users, journeys and data
Adapt to users, react on their behavior
Know the customer
Surprise the customer
Statistics as example: Personalisation
Personalised recommendations generates 31% of revenues
Recommended products have 5.5 times higher conversion rate than normal product listings.
Personalised categories are over two times effective in click-trough-rate than non-personalized.
75% of consumers prefer to see personalised content and offers
56% of consumers would like to use eCommerce if it would be personalisedexperience
Personalisation of journeys is seen more important than anonymity
Statistics continues
74% of consumers abandon sites when they see content and offers that is not what they are interested (non-personalised general content and offers)
Personalised customer experience lifts sales by 8%
40% of consumers are buying more if content and offers are personalised
Personalisation is seen as delight and it brings additional revenues, and customer satisfaction
94% of eCommerce companies consider personalisation “is critical tocurrent and future success.”
Short kano model of personalisationTime is a cruel factor
Delightful features become basic needs in rather short time (year or two)
If you miss basic needs, you have dissatisfying service
Dissatisfying services are abandoned
“Nice to have” now is necessity in no time
Intermission
So much statistics Lets have a break
This will make sense at the end
Intermission – a little of ways or working
Agile is new black –majority of nowadays significant eCommerce projects are agile
Most big eCommerce development use some agile framework to scale up the work for several agile teams
Common frameworks used on larger scale development:Large Scale Scrum (LeSS), Disciplined Agile (DAD), Scalable Agile Framework (SAFe)
Role of customer experience in SAFe
Responsibilities of UX/CX:
Provide agile teams UI design, Design elements, wireframes, do user testing, define web statistic needs on Agile Release Train level
UX representation in teams (where necessary for interaction or visual design)
…UX work mostly based on given vision, roadmap and backlog with architectural decisions from tier above…
Role of customer experience in LeSS
Core principle is “customer centric”
But no responsibilities for UX/CX experts is mentioned, most prominent role for IT architecture
…UX work mostly based on given vision, roadmap and backlog with architectural decisions from tier above…
Role of customer experience in DAD
End user is only one stakeholder among others, represented by product owner
Secondary role of “domain expert” who _might_ represent customer
UX in scrum team level
…UX work mostly based on given vision, roadmap and backlog with architectural decisions from tier above…
IT is the king
Customer Experience as a discipline, who are by expertise the ones have best view of the customer expectations and would be able to transform business to web are
taken in when e.g. IT architecture is set and decided
Common nominator for Agile Frameworks
End of intermission - Sad statistics!
70% of companies do_not_personalise their customer experience
70% of companies are still struggling on designing and deciding how to set up their ecommerce sites personalisation
32% admit that their recent IT architecture is not supporting personalisation
50% of companies list IT decisions being major blockage for making the magic happen
When and why UX/CX in eCommerce?
Why eCommerce projects are done? For IT OR for customers and business?
Should not CX have a standpoint on e.g. IT decisions in early phase to ensure customer expectations can be met, and even exceeded?
Should not CX have a standpoint on in early phase to ensure business goalsare met and made future proof?
CX needed to define the customer/consumer profiles, their journeys and personalisation features
Disclaimer: previous presentation and claims are not reflecting any project speaker has been in as 1=1. On many eCommerce projects client organisation havesolid CX strategy from the start, and IT is really making wonderful job. But in the cases where it is not like that, revenues are lost.
What to do then?
Get your concept straight!
Get to know your customer/consumer profiles, and how to make themclick
Get to know your customer journeys and map your content strategy on that
Get your data right, get your metadata right, make the contentmanagement right
Analyse, test, follow and adapt continously
