In an experience economy market competition in software branches is becoming more and more intense. Technical innovations, global retail practices and the multidimensional conception of experiences provide both opportunities and challenges for companies worldwide. Retailers strive for an optimized conversion rate, but poor UX still abound. Particularly Germany-based companies are less evolved in an international comparison of industrialized economies. The value of integrating users in the development process is recognized, but methodologies must carefully be incorporated into existing agile workflows. The goal of this study is to bridge the gaps between internal agency and external client and user interests. The contribution is four-fold: an overview of the current status of customer centricity in the E-Commerce branch of trade is provided (I). Based on this corpus, a methodical framework, aiming to incorporate the experience logic in UX practices within an agile project team, is presented (II). The framework is applied by a single case study - the shop relaunch of a motorbike accessory store (III). Finally, all interest groups (UX, development and project management) are incorporated in the qualitative content analysis (IV).
To reach customers by dialog marketing campaigns is more and more difficult. This is a common problem of companies and marketing agencies worldwide: information overload, multi-channel-communication and a confusing variety of offers make it hard to gain the attention of the target group. The contribution of this paper is four-fold: we provide an overview of the current state of print dialog marketing activities and trends (I). Based on this corpus we identify the main key performance indicators of dialog marketing customer interaction (II). A qualitative user experience study identifies the customer wishes and needs, focusing on lottery offers for senior citizens (III). Finally, we evaluate the success of two different dialog marketing campaigns with 20,000 clients and compare the key performance indicators of the original hands-on experience-based print mailings with user experience tested and optimized mailings (IV).
