Understanding User Expectations & Experiences in Brand/Product Development
Dec 15, 2014
Scientific research shows how imagining a future experience is often more satisfactory than the actual experience, and how the memory of an experience is mostly determined by only a few key events. This feeds into the field of service and relationship marketing where the perceived quality of a service or a brand image should match or preferably exceed the hidden, outspoken and implied expectations of the customer. In this lecture I summarize this research and show how it can be synthesized into a holistic brand and product design framework. I further suggests how to use this framework together with the Innovation Games® platform to analyze customer expectations and perceptions in order to develop brands and products that resonate with customers.

Understanding expectations
The time horizon of decisions matter for expectations.
Imminent
Distant
We seek consistency in our cognitions.
What really matters is below the
surface.

Understanding brand image
Sincere brands drive loyalty but are vulnerable to transgressions.
Customer traits determine how brand personality impressions are formed and updated.
Perceptions of warmth and competence drive brand admiration.
January 24-25, 2013Igsummit.weebly.com
Understanding total perceived quality
We are hard-wired to remember bad experiences and we tend to talk a lot about them.
The peak and the end matter more than the duration.
Mood and context affects how we remember, and may bias our choices.
In other words, it’s a big mess.
