This article discusses how customers interpret relational messages from physical cues and service evidence in environments. The research found that customers judge if service providers care about, consider, and trust customers based on these cues. Their interpretations influence emotions and experiences. The article proposes a framework to design service evidence that conveys feelings of care, importance, and trust through strategies like tangibility, customization, and empathy. Examples across industries are provided.

Abstract
This article discusses relational messages in the design of service evidence
based on insight gained from empirical research. Photo elicitation and in-
depth interviews were the key research methods used in understanding
hotel guest experiences for design opportunities. The findings reveal that
customers take service evidence and physical cues in the servicescapes to
interpret both intended and unintended relational messages that
communicate the service providers' perceptions about customers.
Customers notice service evidence and judge whether service providers:
(1) Care about their customers; (2) Consider customers as important; and
(3) Trust customers. Their interpretations of relational messages influence
their emotions and service experiences. In addition to face-to-face service
encounters with staff, customers' interactions with service evidence are
also important in shaping service experiences. Here, a framework is
proposed to offer design strategies that convey positive relational
messages in service evidence in terms of care, importance, and trust. This
framework highlights three design strategies and three specific design
emphases. The discussion draws on concepts and techniques including
tangibility of service, customization, and empathic design. Examples are
given to demonstrate the contexts in which the strategies can be applied,
including retail, banking, transport, and hospitality. Key design questions
and challenges for each strategy are also discussed.
