User Research

Research Process

" How can we provide proper support through the new function? "

There are two factors that we aim to find out --- When is the most accurate timing we can provide the services , and what kinds of information can truly benefit users when they are shopping at physical stores ?

Interview

" What kinds of functions can truly benefit users the most? "

We interviewed six targeted customers ( aged 25-40 ) who tried to search for specific products at Eslite physical stores. This can help us focus on the difficulties that users have met when they search for favorite products.

Shopping Map

" When is the most accurate timing we can provide the services? "

We also collect shopping experiences of the customer and make a pain point map to gain insights. The map focuses on the timing that costumers need support and define the forms of services that users may need.

Define Problems

Based on the shopping map and interviews, we found some problems that desperately need to be solved.
