Short summary

Creating effective digital experiences
• Given the popularity of digital devices for finding out about brands and services,
improving the capability to create and maintain these effective online brand presences is
a key part of digital marketing.
• ‘Effective’ means that the presence must deliver relevance and a satisfactory digital
customer experience for its audience.
• ‘Effective’ also means the presence must support and add value to the brand to deliver
results for the company.

“A good site should always begin with the user. Understand who the customer
is, how they use the channel to shop, and understand how the marketplace
works in that category. This includes understanding who your competitors are
and how they operate online. You need continuous research, feedback and
usability testing to continue to monitor and evolve the customer experience
online. Customers want convenience and ease of ordering. They want a site
that is quick to download, well-structured and easy to navigate.”
(Alison Lancaster, head of marketing and catalogues at John Lewis Direct and
marketing director at Charles Tyrwhitt)

Things to consider when designing online presence:
14
Summary of the process of website development
• Customer acquisition. The online value proposition must be clear. Appropriate incentives
for customer acquisition and permission marketing must be devised.
• Customer conversion. The site must engage first-time visitors. Call to action for customer
acquisition and retention offers must be prominent, with benefits clearly explained. The
fulfilment of the offer or purchase must be as simple as possible to avoid attrition during
this process.
• Customer retention. Appropriate incentives, content and customer service information to
encourage repeat visits and business must be available.
• Service quality. Service quality is affected by site navigation, performance, availability and
responsiveness to enquiries.
• Branding. The brand offer must be clearly explained and interaction with the brand must
be possible.
