assignment 2 paying attention
TRANSCRIPT
KIOSK
• This kiosk is located in a touristic environment,
so it’s focused on selling to them, because
there’s a better margin.
• Kiosks from other parts of the city don’t even
have postcards.
• As a local, it doesn’t invite me, but I know I can
go there to get newspapers and magazines.
• Outside there are impulsive products like
postcards for tourists. These don’t appeal
locals.
• Opportunity: sell beverages and snacks: tourists
and locals need it, and may pay a premium for
that. (there are not many convenience stores in
the city center!)
APPLE STORE
• The store invites you to try the products freely,
there are plenty of units to play with, and lot’s of
information.
• It’s surprising to see how many people talk and
share information and insights of the products.
• The store is so crowded that is difficult to know
what to do if you want to buy a product.
• There are not impulse products nearby, cases,
cables, headphones are on a non accessible part
of the store.
• Opportunity: have a corner with impulse
products, and cash register to help people buy
the products fast.
OPEL CAR DEALER
• White open space with a lot of cars to play
with.
• It’s not clear if one can enter a car or play
with it without staff. -> Open the doors!
• Next to the windows are the most appealing
cars, for young professionals. These are
more expensive!
• There are prices, but cars shown are always
expensive. Why? Why not show different
prices?Give more information!
• It’s a pain to talk to a car dealer, I want free
information, just checking options, so
please inform me.
BOOK STORE
• It’s a really welcoming store, with warm
colors, and open doors.
• Thousands of books, well classified.
• But… what if I don’t know what I want? I
can go checking randomly, but why not
show staff picks with short opinions and
overviews?
• It has plenty of children books, but these
are set for adults to buy: the books are not
put on a children height level: why not put
some of them available for them, so they
can choose (and force the parents to buy?)
FROZEN FOOD
• White and blue colors: it’s clear that they
sell frozen food, but is it necessary to use
these colors? I already know what they sell.
• Food is classified depending on type:
vegetables, ice creams, pizzas, pasta.. Why
not put together combinations of
products?
• They sell impulsive products, frozen. Why
not sell other type of impulsive products?
• Why not show recipes in the store with
recommendations?
• Prices are really well shown, surprising for
the amount of products available.
OPENCOR
• Really big convenience stores.
• Light colors, shows cleanness.
• They force to go through children and expensive products to get to the food section.
• Slow service, takes time to pay.
• Plenty of impulsive products.
• Expensive, people don’t buy a lot of things.
• Why not lower prices, and convert it to a more traditional supermarket? Less profit but more volume, and people get used to get there. But maintain the children and expensive products, it’s a good combination!
