A cross-channel case study

Delight in Action

•  Jaden Johnston, a busy working mom, was looking for a convenient and inexpensive resource for new eyeglasses.

•  Using Twitter, Jaden discovered the Warby Parker Home-Try-On Program. 5 pairs of glasses for 5 days – FREE!

Digital Delight

•  Virtual Try on •  Useful, engaging

& relevant content

•  Buy a pair, give a pair program

Delight is Quick & Easy

•  Value propositions that caught Jaden’s attention: –  Try 5 pairs of glasses for 5 days

– FREE!

–  Quick, free delivery (2 business days) and free returns

Delight Takes Many Forms

•  Even the packaging delighted Jaden:

“It has snaps! And a cloth covering! And all of the glasses are in a neat little row. It’s an OCD dream!”

Little Details Matter “All of the frames are perfectly labeled so it was easy to tell which was which. I had a duplicate order, the same frame in two di!erent colors, and they were right next to each other in the box. It may seem trivial, but the care they took with all of the little details made the experience just that much sweeter.“

Humor Goes a Long Way

“With hilariously pretentious British names like the Miles, the Langston, and the Finn, I could not help but enjoy trying them on.

Satisfaction Guaranteed (and Pain-free)

“In the end, I felt like all of the frames I selected were too heavy for my face. But with over 30 frame shapes and 14 colors to choose from, the answer to this dilemma is clear: choose 5 more frames and do the process all over again!

Surprise & Delight

The Warby Parker social media team discovered Jaden’s blog post and responded back to her with a personalized video the same day.
