minimum of 250 words, but make sure it is an original post
concerning the following:
To better understand the relationship between strategic retailing
factors and consumer perceptions, you will conduct a simple
observation exercise. Follow these three steps:
Step 1.
Make a Product Decision:
Identify a service to shop for, and then identify two websites as
places to look for your service. For example, you can shop for
home security services, maid service, food delivery, pet
grooming services, etc. Once you have identified what you are
looking for and where you are going to look, visit each website
and record your observations of specific strategic factors that
might influence your purchasing decision.
Step 2.
Make Observations:
Visit two service provider websites and record your
observations by taking notes on the following topics (
NOTE: You do not need to include your observations in your
post):
General Accessibility:
Is the website easy to find? What is the website layout look
like? Is it busy, up-to-date, interactive, user-friendly, etc.? Does
website appearance influence your perception of the service?
Would you be inclined under normal circumstances to look
beyond the initial website page or not?
Appearance and ease of use:
Are the font, colors used, and pictures attractive but also
helpful for understanding the service? Are there dropdown
menus or tabs with good information that are useful? Is there an
appropriate array of choices from which to choose that fits your
needs? Is the site easy navigated for you to find the information
you need and want?
Service:
Are you able to order what you need easily? Is checkout easily
accommodated? Are there several methods available to make
payment? Are there several ways to contact customer service if
you need it? What is your perception of the service quality
being offered? Why do you think as you do?
Step 3.
Answer the following questions based on your observations:
Checklist:
Identify the service from which you would decide to purchase
the service. Discuss why you chose the specific service provider
over the competitor.
Discuss the factors that helped you make the decision to
purchase the service from the company you ultimately chose.
What are the top three factors that are most important to you in
this purchase decision?
If your decision is not to purchase the item from either company
website, explain why not. Identify and discuss the three most
significant differences you observed in comparing the two
service providers.
