Customer's experience rooms

The surroundings in which the customer experiences the purchase of the product or a service is important for all the good reasons: it reflects to the products quality, price, user-friendliness and style. In this on-going module of the course Understanding Customer Experience, I'm looking forward to learning theories about the experience rooms, such as servicescape.

In this course I've used the family restaurant as my study case to analyze and learn about the different theories on understanding customer experience. I hope to get some useful ideas and tools on how we can use the exterior, interior, decorations, graphic design and perhaps even our website or facebook-site to gain a competitive advantage

Influnece and Influencers.

I'm looking forward to diving into the theories and examples about influence. Having read Cialdini's book: Influence: Science and practice I'm awed at how we are suckers for easy tricks! Flattery, social approval, copying others or wanting what we can't have are all easy and often transparent ways of influencing, yet we fall for it almost every time. My least favourite example is telephone salespeople: I simply hate it when someone calls me on the phone, interrupts me at my work or at home, tells me about a product or a service I'm not interested and I don't want. Still, too many times I end up saying yes to buying one, or signing up to a subscription! After the phone call I always curse to myself for being a sucker and not having learnt to say no! So this module I suppose will include a lot of soul searching, and hopefully I will learn some tool to you so that I want fall into the same trick again, at least not every time.... I'm also looking forward ...

Or if the chef is not available in person e could write a description or a story about the menu composition in the menu for the customer to read about. Our sommelier can organize wine/beer/spirit tasting and tell about the products qualities. This engages the customer and at the same time educates/gives new information about the product while offering a pleasant customer experience. Scarcity: We can offer menus or drinks for limited time only. For instance special menu for Easter, Mother´s day, midsummer or Christmas. Also in the bar we can offer beer of the month, cocktail of the month or other special limited time offers. Food or drinks can also be offered on season, for instance fresh berries during the summer or m...

Making a customer happy

Lars E Olson: describes how positive emotions lead to: purchase decisions, loyalty and well—being. When we feel positive about the customer experience, it is easier for us to make the choice of purchase, further we feel loyal to the brand or product and stay loyal to it. Finally, we experience higher well-being. Olson presents as the determinants of subjective wellbeing : · 45% consist of personal characteristics (personality, genes) · 45% how we spend our time (activities, behaviour, everyday life, goal process) · 10% social & economic factors (gender, age, cohabiting. children, income, employment, education) In this perspective, it would be more useful to focus on understanding the customer’s personality and time-spending activities than social and economic factors, which are often more in focus when ana...
