The UX behind the habit of shopping

We noticed customers travel only certain areas of store. Their shopping experience was focused straight to the counters after picking the items they want. This habit of shopping may explained deteriorating of sales and we decided to venture deeper.

This persona was not fully research based, but it was what we used to guide our design decisions and principle.

IDENTIFYING PAIN POINTS THROUGH CUSTOMER JOURNEY MAP We reviewed the user journey map and jotted down their pain points and different emotions experienced onto Post-It. Next, we used affinity mapping to group the pain points into similar categories of the customer journey on the whiteboard.

PAIN POINT 2: The mobile app does not contain any “Cheers” in depth information.

PAIN POINT 3: I do not have the map location of “Cheers” before I reach.

01. WHAT WE DID 02. THE PROCESS 03. USER RESEARCH 04. CONCEPT DESIGN After analysis of the user journey, it is time to start the prototyping phase where we came up with sketchs quickly to address each of the pain points.

IDEATING THE SOLUTION

With the discovery of the pain points, we realized there were two major areas to focus on. Firstly, the mobile application followed by the interior space of the retail store. We did up some preliminary low fidelity wireframes to refine our ideas and narrow down our solutions for the high fidelity mockups.

With referencing back to Pain Point 4 of no rewards for being a regular “Cheers” Customer, we ideate solutions of creating an account for tracking of user transaction records and ability to redeem awards.

Each activity allows user to navigate across and learn more about it by clicking to check out their profile, services and their new ‘Cheers” Gift Card.

Design Solution: We created in-app location of nearby “Cheers” store to enable users to know where is the nearest store at their location.

Pain Point 8: The product price is not easy to refer from shelves.

Pain Point 12: The checkout process is slow and no self check out available.

Design Solution: With the self check out using “Cheers” Pay, User will be able to check the price of products by scanning their barcode. This will reduce the hassle of referring to the confusing price tags located across the shelves.

TAKEAWAY “Cheers” is a great leading convenient store with a grand mission to provide the best innovative products and convenient locations to customers . To achieve this, it faces one of the biggest challenges — an accessible and friendly network of its retail and online presence. With putting their user reviews in the forefront, they will be able to know what their customers want. Therefore, taking the lead once again in being the convenient store we love.
