Impact of Customer Satisfaction and Trust in the Context of a Business Ecosystem on Customer Retention in Online Retailers.

Rutström, Lily January 2022 (has links)
Customer retention also referred to as Customer loyalty has been proven to be an important factor in the success of online retailers. However, recent research has shown that many online retailers are still unenlightened on the elements they need to focus on in order to retain their customers. On the contrary, Amazon which operates in a business ecosystem has been found to have high customer loyalty which means that the company must have been able to modify rightly the appropriate contributors to online customer loyalty compared to the many other online retailers. Studies have been conducted to investigate different variables including customer satisfaction and trust to find out if these variables can be applied to improve online customer loyalty. Still, there has been no research that has investigated how customer satisfaction together with trust in the context of a business ecosystem may influence customer loyalty. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how online retailers create customer loyalty as a result of online customer satisfaction and trust in the context of the business ecosystem, by applying the case study of Amazon. The most suitable way of conducting this research was to collect quantitative data from Amazon customers who had shopped more than twice within the last two months from the time of participating in the self-completed survey. The questionnaire was distributed in different Facebook groups and was also shared with a number of participants via email. In order to answer the research questions and fulfill the study purpose, the data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, and correlation and regression analyses were conducted. The findings indicated that customer satisfaction and trust in the context of a business ecosystem are the key factors in establishing customer loyalty. In addition, trust in the context of a business ecosystem contributed more to predicting customer loyalty in comparison to customer satisfaction.

Designprocessen och maskininlärning: Framtiden för användarcentrerad design

Gärdhammar, Lisa Marie Karin January 2024 (has links)
Artificiell intelligens (AI) och i synnerhet maskininlärning (ML) har inom UX-design visat potential att förbättra designprocessen genom att exempelvis identifiera användargrupper från stora datamängder, effektivisera idégenerering och automatisera repetitiva uppgifter. Det råder dock oenighet kring hur tekniken kan integreras i designprocessen. En viktig del av en designers arbete är att konsekvent prioritera användarbehov och därigenom förbättra användartillfredsställelsen. Därför försöker designers empatiskt sätta sig in i användarnas situation genom att identifiera deras behov och noggrant utforska potentiella problemområden. En visualiseringsteknik som ofta används av designers för att utveckla och förstå användarupplevelsen är journey mapping (JM). JM är dock en mycket resurskrävande process då den förutsätter nära samarbete mellan olika avdelningar och team. Trots detta visar forskning att de flesta designers inte integrerar element relaterade till insikter i sina kartor, vilka ofta är avgörande för att omvandla JM från visuell berättelse till handlingsplan. Integreringen av ML i JM-processen skulle potentiellt kunna möjliggöra en snabbare, mer datadriven och anpassningsbar designprocess som fokuserar mer på användarnas behov och önskemål. Utmaningen ligger i att smidigt integrera tekniken utan att förlora mänskliga perspektiv och tolkningar, vilka är grundläggande för användarcentrerad design. Denna studie fokuserar på att utforska sätt att integrera ML i delar av designprocessen för att möta utmaningarna som uppstår vid strävan efter användarcentrerad design i en resurskrävande miljö. För att uppnå en djupgående och strukturerad förståelse av samspelet mellan designprocessen, empatiskapande samt ML valdes en systematisk litteraturgranskning som den primära datainsamlingsmetoden samt tematisk analys som dataanalysmetod för denna studie. Målet är att utifrån detta resultat presentera praktiska rekommendationer, baserat på sammanställning av befintlig forskning, för hur JM-processen kan omformas och göras mer ML-driven. Genom en omfattande litteratursökning inhämtades data, vilken genomgick kvalitetsbedömning. Därefter genomfördes en inkludering- och exkluderingsprocess i enlighet med förutbestämda kriterier. Detta resulterade i 13 utvalda dokument, från vilka mönster och teman extraherades genom en tematisk analys. Resultatet visade på vikten av samskapande mellan människa och maskin för att möjliggöra en ansvarsfull designprocess. I resultaten presenteras även tekniska möjligheter och dilemman, där ML exempelvis kan automatisera repetitiva uppgifter och möjliggöra kontinuerlig övervakning och utvärdering av användarupplevelsen över tid. Dock kräver detta omfattande och representativa träningsdataset för att konstruera ML-modeller med hög generaliseringsförmåga gentemot nya och komplexa data. Resultaten belyser också bristen på förståelse för ML bland UX-designers och betonar vikten av samarbete med datavetare för att skapa en effektiv designprocess. Utifrån dessa resultat presenteras rekommendationer för en ML-driven JM-process. Även om UX-rollen troligtvis behöver omdefinieras, framhåller resultaten att kulturen inom UX-designprocessen snarare är "dataaktiverad" än helt datadriven. Detta perspektiv understryker det fortsatta behovet av mänsklig intuition och förståelse trots den ökade inriktningen på datadrivna metoder. Slutligen diskuteras hur framtida forskning skulle kunna inrikta sig på att utvärdera rekommendationernas praktiska tillämpbarhet. / Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Machine Learning (ML), has demonstrated potential within UX design to enhance the design process by identifying user groups from extensive datasets, streamlining idea generation, and automating repetitive tasks. However, there is ongoing debate about the integration of this technology in the design process. A crucial aspect of a designer's work is consistently prioritizing user needs to enhance user satisfaction. Designers strive to empathetically understand user situations by identifying their needs and meticulously exploring potential problem areas. One commonly used visualization technique employed by designers to develop and understand user experiences is Journey Mapping (JM). However, JM is a resource-intensive process, requiring close collaboration across different departments and teams for extensive data collection. Despite this, research indicates that most designers do not integrate elements related to insights into their maps, crucial for transforming JM from a visual narrative to an actionable plan. Integrating ML into the JM process could potentially enable a faster, more data-driven, and adaptable design process, effectively focusing on user needs and desires. The challenge lies in seamlessly integrating the technology without losing the human perspectives and interpretations fundamental to user-centered design. This study focuses on exploring ways to integrate ML into parts of the design process to address challenges in pursuing user-centered design in a resource-intensive environment. A systematic literature review was chosen as the primary data collection method, with thematic analysis employed as the data analysis method. The aim was to present practical recommendations based on a compilation of existing research on the design process, making the JM process more MLdriven. Through an extensive literature search, data was gathered and subjected to quality assessment. Subsequently, an inclusion and exclusion process were conducted according to predetermined criteria, resulting in 13 selected documents. Patterns and themes were extracted through thematic analysis. The results emphasize the importance of co-creation between humans and machines to enable a responsible design process. Technical possibilities and dilemmas are also presented, highlighting ML's ability to automate repetitive tasks and facilitate continuous monitoring and evaluation of user experience over time. However, this requires comprehensive and representative training datasets to construct ML models with high generalization ability to new and complex data. The results also underscore the lack of ML understanding among UX designers and emphasize the importance of collaboration with data scientists for an efficient design process. Recommendations for an ML-driven JM process are presented based on these findings. While the UX role may need redefinition, the results emphasize a "data-activated" culture within the UX design process rather than being entirely data-driven. This perspective underscores the ongoing need for human intuition and understanding despite the increased focus on data-driven methods. Finally, the discussion explores how future research could evaluate the practical applicability of the recommendations.

Jämterud, Rasmus, Widell, Henrik January 2024 (has links)
This thesis delves into the digital transformation of private banking, emphasizing the challenge of balancing technology with the personalized service that high-net-worth clients expect. Employing frameworks like Relationship Marketing, the Technology Acceptance Model, and Customer Experience Management, it examines the integration and impact of digital tools on client relationships and operational efficiency in private banking. The research, informed by interviews with industry professionals, explores the adoption of digital practices, highlighting a trend towards operational efficiency yet revealing a gap in achieving the depth of personalization characteristic of private banking. The study concludes by exploring the future of digitalization in the sector, suggesting a strategic approach where technological advancements complement the foundational elements of private banking. This balanced integration is vital for maintaining the essence of bespoke advice and trust that defines the client-advisor bond in an increasingly digital financial landscape. / Denna avhandling fördjupar sig i den digitala omvandlingen av private banking-sektorn, med betoning på utmaningen att balansera teknik med den personliga service som kunder med hög nettoförmögenhet förväntar sig. Genom att använda ramverk som Relationsmarknadsföring, teknikacceptansmodellen och kundupplevelsehantering, undersöks integrationen och effekten av digitala verktyg på kundrelationer och operationell effektivitet inom private banking. Forskningen, som är baserad på intervjuer med anställda inom private banking, undersöker införandet av digitala processer och belyser en trend mot operationell effektivitet, men visar även en brist på att uppnå den djupgående personalisering som är karaktäristisk inom private banking. Studien avslutas med att analysera framtiden för digitalisering inom sektorn, och föreslår en strategisk metod där tekniska framsteg kompletterar de grundläggande elementen i private banking-verksamhet. Denna balanserade integration är avgörande för att bevara essensen av skräddarsydd rådgivning och förtroende som definierar bandet mellan klient och rådgivare i ett alltmer digitalt landskap.

Elgigantens framgångsrecept : En kvalitativ studie om Elgigantens omställning till omnihandel / Elgiganten's recipe for success : A qualitative study on Elgiganten's transition to omni-channel

Vegholm, Moa, Winbergh, Eric January 2024 (has links)
Digitaliseringen har skapat nya möjligheter för konsumenterna att dra nytta av både e-handeln och de fysiska försäljningskanalerna. Detta har skapat utmaningar och möjligheter för företag att arbeta i en mer digitaliserad marknadsmiljö. Studien betonar vikten av att erbjuda en integrerad och enhetlig upplevelse för konsumenterna, så kallad omnihandel. I denna studie undersöks ett fallföretags övergång till just omnihandel. Studiens syfte är att skapa en djupare förståelse om fenomenet omnihandel samt att utforska hur en omställning till omnihandel har sett ut från ett företagsperspektiv. Dessutom utforskas de upplevda fördelarna och nackdelarna ur ett kundperspektiv. Studien använde sig av ett explorativt tillvägagångsätt för att kunna utforska fenomenet. För att samla in data användes semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre respondenter från Elgigantens ledningsgrupp och fokusgrupper med kunder. Intervjuerna användes för att utforska ledningens syn på deras omställning till omnihandel, medan fokusgrupperna användes för att fånga kundernas direkta erfarenheter och åsikter. Resultaten från intervjuerna bidrog med värdefulla insikter om hur omställningen har skett i praktiken för fallföretaget. Resultaten från fokusgrupperna bidrog med insikter om att omnihandel kan ge fördelar som kundnöjdhet och stärkt varumärkeslojalitet. Vidare kunde slutsatsen visa att fallföretaget har gjort betydande framsteg i att integrera sina försäljningskanaler för att skapa en enhetlig kundupplevelse över både digitala och fysiska plattformar. Studiens slutsats visar att fenomenet omnihandel kan bidra till ökad kundnöjdhet och stärkt varumärkeslojalitet. Dock fastställdes att kundnöjdheten kan påverkas negativt om integreringen av försäljningskanalerna brister. / The digitization has created new opportunities from both e-commerce and physical sales channels. This has created challenges and opportunities for companies to operate in a more digitized market environment. The study emphasizes the importance of providing an integrated and consistent experience for consumers to remain competitive. This study examines a case company's transition to omnichannel retailing, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon from both company and customer perspectives. It explores the transition process, as well as the perceived advantages and disadvantages from the customer's viewpoint. An exploratory approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with three members of Elgiganten's management team and conducting focus groups with customers to collect data. The results from the interviews provided valuable insights into how the transition has occurred for the case company in practice and the focus groups contributed insights into the advantages of omnichannel such as customer satisfaction and strengthened brand loyalty. In conclusion, the study identified that the phenomenon of omnichannel can contribute to increased customer satisfaction and strengthened brand loyalty. However, the study was able to determine that deficiencies in the integration of the sales channels lead to unachieved customer satisfaction.

Hur kan telekomkunders användning av själv-serviceteknologi öka? : En kvalitativ studie / How can telecom customers use of selfservice technology increase? : A qualitative study

Lidén, Andreas January 2018 (has links)
Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka hur telekomkunder användning av själv-serviceteknologi (SST) kan öka. Relevant litteratur som SST, teknologisk acceptans, user experience (UX), customer experience (CX) och servicedesign (SD) har identifierats och förankrat studien vetenskapligt. Baserat på syftet och den teoretiska grunden har en designstrategi skapats för att undersöka detta på ett relevant sätt på ett telekomföretag i Sverige. Studien har utgått från en formativ utvärdering där expertanvändares upplevelser av telekomkunder, kundservice och själv-serviceteknologi har studerats, för att kunna identifiera möjliga problem och förbättringsområden. Semi-strukturerade djupintervjuer har använts som datainsamlingsmetoden på grund av de förutsättningar som fanns för studien. Detta har i kombination med analysstrategierna har medverkat till identifieringen av kontextuella fynd som kan öka användning av SST för telekomföretagets kunder. Några av dessa fynd är att SST behöver vara standardiserad inom telekombranschen och att telekomföretaget kan öka användandet genom att informera sina kunder mer om möjligheterna med SST. I Studien har också faktorer som tyder på ett samband mellan områdena service, SST och telekomkunder identifierats, detta kan öka förståelsen för hur SST i denna kontext bör utvecklas och designas framöver.

Using a natural field experiment with a jewelry store, the present study tested the price framing effect and customer experience in purchase decision. The price framing effect was tested using three similar products offered alongside one another: 1 control with the regular price, 2 treatments designed to provide a positive transaction utility and price-quality perception - their prices were initially raised and then proportional discounts (10% and 20%) were applied, so that the final prices of all products amounted to be the same. The effect of customer experience was observed measuring the sales of two customers groups with different experience levels: retail customers (less experienced consumers) and wholesale customers (more experienced since they work as resellers). However, the hypotheses of the study were not confirmed, since the products treated with the price framing effect presented regression coefficients with low statistical significance, for both retail and wholesale customers. Considering that the experiment manipulated both price and discount, current literature on the subject indicates that the effects of quality perception that both present ended up conjoint and led to a null result. Some possible avenues to isolate these effects, as well as other lessons learned in the experiment, are discussed for future research. / Promoções de preço são práticas onipresentes no mercado varejista e frequentemente os consumidores se sentem sobrecarregados com a variedade de esquemas de preço. Através de um experimento de campo natural com uma loja de semi-joias, o presente estudo testou o efeito do framing de preço e experiência do cliente na decisão de compra. O efeito do framing de preço foi testado através de três produtos similares oferecidos um ao lado do outro: 1 controle com o preço regular, 2 tratamentos desenhados para prover uma utilidade transacional e percepção de qualidade positivas - os seus preços foram aumentados inicialmente e depois descontos proporcionais (10% e 20%) foram aplicados, chegando ao mesmo preço final. O efeito da experiência do cliente foi observado com a mensuração das vendas de dois grupos de clientes com diferentes níveis de experiência: clientes de varejo (consumidores menos experientes) e clientes de atacado (mais experientes pois atuam como revendedores). No entanto, as hipóteses do estudo não foram confirmadas, dado que os produtos tratados com o efeito de framing de preço apresentaram coeficientes de regressão com baixa significância estatística, para ambos os clientes de varejo e atacado. Considerando que o experimento manipulou tanto preço como desconto, a literatura atual sobre o tema indica que os efeitos de qualidade percebida que ambos apresentam acabaram se conjugando e podem ter levado a um resultado nulo. Alguns caminhos possíveis para isolar estes efeitos, bem como outras lições aprendidas no experimento, são discutidos para pesquisa futura.

買賣雙方於C2C行動電商平臺之體驗流程探討-以蝦皮拍賣為例 / Understanding Customer Experience Throughout the Customer Journey in a C2C Auction Context

蕭舜如 Unknown Date (has links)
摘 要 電子商務行動化已變成趨勢,而消費者個人間的C2C交易市場也越來越受到注目,尤其是讓使用者輕鬆上架商品、簡化繁複流程的新型態行動拍賣App,更是熱門議題。本研究欲了解台灣目前C2C行動拍賣App中,最具話題性及代表性的「蝦皮拍賣」之顧客體驗流程,研究方法採半結構式深度訪談法,以使用網路購物經驗超過五年以上且使用蝦皮經驗滿三個月以上、同時具有買家跟賣家雙重身分之使用者為研究對象。 本研究主要發現如下:1.使用蝦皮的正向使用經驗在於有清楚直觀好用的使用者介面、擁有即時性及雙向互動並保有使用者隱私性的即時通訊「聊聊」功能、採用可降低風險的第三方支付、因免運費帶起的方便性物流選擇-超商寄貨取貨、讓賣家寄件步驟簡化的整合寄件物流以及使資訊透明的物流追蹤。2.初次使用動機則是受到免運費吸引及社群口碑推薦影響。3.持續使用因素除了涵蓋正向使用經驗因素外,還包括常有免運費或運費補助的促銷活動、同時身兼買賣家身分、因平臺上商品及賣場多而選擇性高及免費的商品置頂推廣功能。4.蝦皮的待改進項目則在於商品上架過程從簡易變複雜、評價多為制式評價因此參考價值有限、推播通知字數多易遭使用者忽略。本研究並且透過「顧客歷程地圖」來綜觀傳統網路拍賣流程的問題,並以訪談內容對照以往流程上的階段,檢視蝦皮是如何提升顧客體驗。 最後,根據訪談發現,提出蝦皮可思考之改善建議為: 1.加速刊登功能及改良照片上傳便利度。2.提供誘因讓使用者填寫真實評價並改進評價機制。3.推播通知精簡及圖像化。4.從後勤面降低物流成本。5.透過推薦系統提升使用者黏著度。本研究以使用者角度出發,建議企業應站在使用者的角度來思考使用者需求,才有機會提供更好的顧客體驗,持續吸引使用者,本研究之發現希望有助於行動電商平臺往後策略發展時的參考。 / Abstract E-commerce has become a universal sales trend that has spread from consumers shopping on their home computers to shopping on their mobile phones through the use of various shopping apps. Much attention has been placed on consumer C2C transactions, especially with respect to consumers’ access to store goods. Simplifying this access, which can be a complicated process, through a new mobile auction app is a highly relevant issue. This study aims to understand the customer experience flow of the most current representative C2C mobile auction app in Taiwan from Shopee Taiwan Co. Ltd. This study adopts a semi-structured depth interview method for users that have over five years of Internet shopping experience in total, and at least three months of experience with the Shopee Mobile Auction App. Both buyers and sellers are classified as users in this study. The main findings are as follows. 1) Positive experiences with the Shopee Mobile Auction App are due to its clear and intuitive user interface, instant messaging two-way interaction availability, high degree of user privacy, third-party risk reduction payment systems, and convenient logistics through the availability of free shipping. Consumers have the option to pick up their goods at local convenience stores, which simplifies the shipment process for sellers, and leads to a clear and streamlined logistics process. 2) The initial motivation for consumers is the reward of free shipping and public recommendations. 3) The factors behind the continuous use of this mobile auction app service include the positive experience, the free shipping or freight subsidy promotional activities that are often included for both the buyer and seller, the wider product selection than what is offered in physical stores, and the offers for promotional free products with the purchase of related goods. 4) The Shopee Mobile Auction App still leaves something to be desired, including: (a) The processures of putting the items for sale have become time-consuming due to more and more requrements. (b) Standardized evaluations and rating systems may limit reference values. (c) Current promotional messages sent via app notification are easily ignored by users. This study uses the customer journey map to take a broad view of issues related to the traditional online auction process, and uses customer experience-based interviews to examine how the Shopee Mobile Auction App improves on these issues. Finally, based on conducted interviews, several suggestions for improvement of the Shopee Mobile Auction App include the following: 1) increasing the speed of new feature releases, and improve the convenience of the photo upload process; 2) providing promotional incentives for users to complete the evaluation, thereby improving the evaluation mechanism; 3) streamlining push notifications and images; 4) reducing logistical costs; 5) improving user loyalty through implementing a recommendation system. This study simultaneously considers both sides of C2C commerce (i.e., the sellers and buyers). It focuses on the user point of view, as selling platforms need to be aware of the opportunity to provide a better customer experience, which will in turn attract more users. The findings from this study can assist mobile platform creators with their future development strategies.

Design som engagerar : En analys av tjänstedesign och omnikanaler inom dagligvaurhandeln

Nyholm, Hanna, Åberg, Amanda January 2016 (has links)
Denna studie undersöker hur olika beröringspunkter påverkar kundengagemanget inom dagligvaruhandeln. Då trenden går mot att se till kundens helhetsupplevelse inom ett företags ekosystem snarare än det enskilda köpet blir kundengagemang och omnikanal två begrepp som kan ses som högst aktuella att studera när företag idag ska utforma sin beröringspunktarkitektur. Beröringspunkter är alla de kontaktpunkter, såväl fysiska som digitala, mellan ett varumärke och en kund. Dessa beröringspunkter verkar tillsammans och bidrar alla genom omnikanalsperspektivet till en sammansatt kundupplevelse. Skapandet av denna upplevelse kallas tjänstedesign och inbegriper att noggrannt orkestrera den beröringspunktsarkitektur i vilket kunden befinner sig under sin kundresa. Vidare undersöker denna studie ovannämnda process i ljuset av Process Virtualization Theory (PVT) vilken verkar som ett verktyg för att förstå i vilken utsträckning en beröringspunkt lämpar sig för digitalisering. Därtill appliceras Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) för att förstå de bakomliggande faktorer som påverkar kundengagemang. Mot bakgrund av detta teoretiska ramverk utförs tretton stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer med card sorting för att undersöka vilka attityder och beteende som finns relaterade till de olika beröringspunkterna för ett specifikt företag inom den svenska dagligvaruhandeln. Resultatet visar att de viktigaste beröringspunkterna för kundengagemang är erbjudanden, rabatter och medlemskap samt den fysiska butiken. Den sistnämnda inbegriper butikens atmosfär, utbud och geografiska läge. Dessa beröringspunkter är den huvudsakliga anledningen till att en kund väljer att handla hos en viss butik. Det finns även andra faktorer som påverkar valet och olika faktorer spelar olika stor roll beroende på situation, dock antyder resultaten att de andra faktorerna oftast endast spelar en sekundär roll. Resultaten kan även till stor del förklaras av de två ovannämnda modellerna. För att öka sitt kundengagemang som företag inom dagligvaruhandeln förslås slutligen att det bör investeras i digitala lösningar som förstärker upplevelsen kring beröringspunkter i omnikanaler, i den usträckning PVT-modeller antyder att det skulle vara lämpligt. Dessa lösningar bör även inkorporera de motivationsfaktorer som UGT-modellen föreslår i de viktigaste beröringspunkterna. Ett användande av dessa lösningar som digitala verktyg skulle möjligtvis kunna leda till att den fysiska och digitala världen bättre kan mötas genom en omnikanal vilket slutligen bidrar till en mer sammansatt och positiv kundupplevelse genom hela kundresan. / This paper examines the importance of different touchpoints within a customer journey for increased customer engagement, focusing specifically on the grocery market. Because of the trend within the commerce industry to consider at customer’s overall experience as oppose to the individual purchase, customer engagement and omnichannel are therefore highly relevant approaches for a company to consider when forming their touchpoint architecture.  Touchpoints can be physical as well as digital points of contact between a brand and a customer. These touchpoints normally work in joint co-operation with each other, through omnichannels, for a complete customer experience. This complete experience is formed through the process of service design which includes a thoroughly designed touchpoint architecture in which the customer travels as part of her customer journey. Furthermore, this paper examines to which extent a process can be digitalised through applying the Process Virtualization Theory (PVT) model. In order to understand the customer engagement process and the reasons behind customer engagement the Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) model is also applied. With this theoretic background in place thirteen semi-structured interviews with a card sorting exercise was conducted to examine the attitudes and behaviours related to, and associated with, a company’s touchpoints within the Swedish grocery market industry. The customer research presented in this paper shows that the most important touchpoints for customer engagement are store offers and discounts, a grocery store’s atmosphere and supply and finally store location. These touchpoints are the main reasons to why customers choose to engage with a grocery store brand as they are perceived as the most important reasons a specific brand is chosen. There are other reasons too, and often the choice of brand is also determined by convenience and time available. However, the study shows that these reasons are only secondary to the former reasons. These results are supported by the two models mentioned above. In order to increase customer engagement a brand should therefore put resources into digital solutions, to the extent possible according to the PVT model, to reinforce the motivational factors from the UGT-model in these touchpoints. This way the physical and digital world would meet through omnichannel as the solutions would assist customers in their customer journey to make their overall experience better.

Kan modeföretag förbättra shoppingupplevelsen i sina onlinebutiker? / Can fashion retailers improve the shopping experience in their online stores?

Schubertsson Larsson, Lisette, Tarokh, Donia January 2017 (has links)
In this paper we have chosen to study three aspects of the shopping experience online -navigation, product image and product information based on Hasan’s (2016) theory, to examine if, and how, the shopping experience online needs to improve in the fashion retail industry. From eyetracking-observations and qualitative interviews in this study, we identified the customers expectations and perceived problems in the online shoppingexperience. One of our findings show that there is a general agreement that product images have a significant impact on the shopping experience online. Another finding shows that distinctively visible filtering options on the online stores are important for the consumer to find what they are looking for. / För denna uppsats har vi valt att studera kring tre aspekter inom shoppingupplevelsen online -navigering, produktbild och produktbeskrivning, utifrån Hasans (2016) grundmodell för att undersöka om och hur shoppingupplevelsen online behöver förbättras inom modebranschen. Utifrån eyetracking-observationer och kvalitativa intervjuer framkommer vilka förväntningar och upplevda problem som identifieras av konsumenter, för shoppingupplevelsen online. Ett av resultaten visar att det överlag finns en generell överenskommelse för att bland annat produktbilder har en stor inverkan på shoppingupplevelsen online. Ytterligare ett resultat visade att en tydlig presentation av filtreringsmöjligheter på webbshoppar är av betydelse för att konsumenten ska hitta rätt i sin sökning.
