- 13. Mobile Usability Report2015/16 Sports Direct and Paperchase’s buttons Sports Direct’s search button is next to the menu button, and so several users closed the menu when trying to use the search. Only the + icons are clickable on the footer links on Paperchase’s site – so some users struggled to open the Shopping With Us section - where as in the links above with text and arrows the whole area is clickable.

- 17. Mobile Usability Report2015/16 Boohoo form fields In Boohoo’s checkout users were not impressed that they needed to scroll through the full list of countries to select UK. They also encountered problems on Boohoo’s site (and others such as River Island) with double- entry form field errors as one entry had an upper case first letter, though both addresses were actually the same.

Editor's Notes
- #8 Next Monday we are formally launching our second Mobile Usability report that we have created in partnership with WhatUsersDo.
- #11 B&Q homepage opens with the menu open. Clicking the homepage icon just brings the same result. This was a problem on some iPhones and Android devices. Think about the experience at the point a user lands on your site. Not just errors like this, we found app banners and overlays that didn’t work properly, overlays for email sign-up and for site surveys which users didn’t like.
- #12 Paperchase homepage content does not fit on the mobile screen
- #13 AO.com contact us link goes to a desktop page, not a mobile friendly one
- #15 River Island Women’s page frustrates this lady with no full results list easy to find
- #16 Boohoo user would have liked to be able to see more than 16 results on a search page/products listing page
- #17 Boots map is hard to navigate around and scroll past
- #21 I work for Usabilla and we are the experts in helping companies listen to their users. -How many people know Usabilla? - How many people collect user feedback in some way? I’m going to talk about how you can get the most value out of your user feedback, OR if you’re not gathering any – hopefully convince you why you should be! So who are Usabilla? – You may recognise us from our buttons. BUT we do a lot more
- #22 I read online that it’s good to start a presentation with a quote so here we go. How do you listen to your customers? The value of being a good listener cannot be overstated, especially in business. Yet many companies neglect this area. Even data goliaths like Microsoft and Google, have begun to implement feedback loops
- #23 I work for Usabilla and we are the experts in helping companies listen to their users. -How many people know Usabilla? - How many people collect user feedback in some way? I’m going to talk about how you can get the most value out of your user feedback, OR if you’re not gathering any – hopefully convince you why you should be! So who are Usabilla? – You may recognise us from our buttons. BUT we do a lot more
- #24 Enable feedback in every digital channel – On your site, in your app and in your emails (even in store) Our vision is to help companies listen to their users via every digital channel (even physical) so you can keep track on what they want to stay ahead of the competition.
- #25 Everyone is here today to see what’s happening the in the industry and make sure you’re on track for 2016. I want to show you why listening to your users is essential in any ecommerce strategy for short term and long term growth
- #26 I don’t think I need to poll you guys to see who is collecting data via G.A., Omniture or something similar. I think everyone is trackin data in one way or another. What I want to show you is how feedback reveals what’s really happening. And why the WHY is important. To do this I want to tell you a few customer stories. Highlighting the value they’ve seen in gathering user feedback and some interesting way’s it’s being used. So let’s start with the quick wins
- #27 Collecting feedback from 65 countries in 35 languages - Crowdsource your users and free up your time. Make informed decisions based on what people really want. What they’re actually struggling with. To find bugs and issues before sales are impacted Uncover issues you didn’t know existed -Virgin Trains All too often data leaves you making expensive assumtpions
- #28 Just by listening to users, our customers increase conversion rates. Working with one of the biggest hosting companies in Europe and they’ve increased conversion rates on some pages by up to 120%. They used exit surveys and feedback revealed that their call to action buttons weren’t clear enough, and product descriptions were lacking the information people needed to commit.
- #29 Boden story -Early warning system Immediately identify the cause of a problem - Uncover whats REALLY happening (Describe feedback item)
- #30 Quickly uncover what’s really happening! Bug was effecting the passport page for a fraction of suers. Meaning they had to restart the process. Travel company passport story Assumptions based on data proved wrong and very expensive You don’t know what you’re missing until you ask By show of hands, who does some form of A/B testing on their site?
- #31 First of all: Prioritise and design you’re A/B tests based on what users are saying THEN We did a study that proved UX directly correlates to NPS Working with some of the best A/B testers in the world we are seeing that A/B tests are limited in their reliance on data alone. By integrating user feedback, you’re able to include user experience in the A/B test. Ensuring long term loyalty and promotors - Optimize for happiness
- #32 Positive feeback is great, it lets you know what you’re doing right, We had one instance, with a company in Scotland where a very happy customer wrote a song about them Using conditinal forms you can even turn happy visitors into promotors. Philips drove almost 100K directly by running a long survey and rewarding customers with a discount code. They’ve also added 100s of new email addresses to thei marketing campaings, ensuring future sales. But now what about emails? I bet everyone here has multiple email campaigns, I also bet, you don’t know what users think of them.
- #33 Adidas came to us because they were frustrated with relying heavily on data and wanted to make sure they were Send the right message. Send out More positive feedback. Lower unsubscribe rates
- #34 With the last case study I want to look at mobile. Who has a mobile optimised website? Who has an app or apps?
- #35 "With Usabilla for Apps we have been able to identify bugs and bottlenecks immediately. Collecting live feedback has allowed us to improve our resolution time by 60%.” What was a little unexpected was the dramatic impact it had on their app store rating
- #36 IN fact many of our customers report significantly reduced negative feedback on social platforms thanks to creating a managed channel for feedback. Improve reputation online.
- #37 I know I touched on quite a few things, but I hope I’ve given everyone something to think about! Last but not least I want to invite everyone here to a free trial with us so you can lsten to your customers, find out what they want, and importantly what’s holding back your sales! If you want anymore information come find me or my colleagues in the foyer, or drop me an email on robert@usabilla.com
- #54 Leading customers to feel a certain way about, your brand, products, experience and themselves For us this is coming up later in the presentation Connecting with them on an emotional level – more powerful than a rational level You don’t know how their day is going, you don’t know what experiences they’ve had elsewhere – these will impact on their experience Focus on the things you can control
- #55 There are opportunities for this at every touch point
- #56 How do we capture all those thoughts, feelings, sentiments about the experience we provide? How do we put a number against them? How do we know which bits are within our control? How do we know which bits are most important? How do we measure, target and develop them?
- #57 For us… our data looks a bit like this. All over the place, in siloed systems. We’re lucky to have a very talented team to make sense of it all.
- #58 Because when it comes to customers, they don’t do what you tell them to – they should be telling you - We saw tons of customers shopping our website on mobile phones before we provided a mobile site - They were talking about us on social media before we started engaging with them there Their experience needs to be unified across all these channels. They don’t care about our processes, systems and organisational structure. They want what they’re looking for, when and where they want it – and at a reasonable price. Or they’ll go to elsewhere. Their expectations change and we all have to run to keep on top of them.
- #61 It starts with the people Everyone must have a clear vision of where we’re going and their part in achieving it.
- #75 Putting the customer at the centre
- #76 Merging the Brand and CRM teams with the Multi Channel team under one Chief Customer Officer role was the 2nd step to ensure: Customer Centric Approach not Channel Centric approach, A focus on customer profitability – ‘revenue per customer’ not ‘revenue per channel’ Consistency and accessibility of the customer experience We embrace increasingly complex customer behavior: Multiple simultaneous channels used to research, browse & buy
- #80 Borrowing a model we’ve seen at the likes of Spotify Product managers Matrix project teams Quickly respond to customer needs, Full test and learn
