WhatWhat is a Closure Experience

Why the customer life cycle is biased

What created this situation

How it relates to industry and digital

Good and bad Closure Experiences

Models and techniques

The satisfactory conclusion to a product or service relationship. Each party feeling satisfied with the completed transaction, it being a fair, just conclusion without negative consequence.

Closure

The Consumer Experience

Joe Macleod. Closure Experiences.

1. 2. 3.On-Boarding Off-BoardingUsage

Any consumer experience can be broken down into 3 stages

The stable, committed relationship between the user and the service they use, or the product they own.

It is the effort it takes to get the customer to commit to the product or service relationship. The start of the relationship.

It is the effort it takes to neutralise the effects of the engagement. To complete the agreed engagement. It is the conclusion of the relationship.

Ernest Becker Denial of Death

“most human action is taken to ignore or avoid the inevitability of death”

Researchers attempted to connect consumption to Terror Management Theory

Liberation. M.C. Escher 1955Joe Macleod. Closure Experiences.

“suggested that concerns about mortality, although sub-conscious, strongly influence our behaviour and aspirations about material goods and economic status”

this impacts our relationship with consumption

“He had four external hard drives containing the original pictures and four external hard drives containing backups. He never used or looked at the pictures he had saved, but was convinced that they would be of use in the future.”

Systematically built to avoid loss Culturally in denial of digital endings

Legally won’t allow for amicable endings Commercially create endless start-ups, who don't do clean shut-downs

Digital

As an interface, the Digital doesn't do endings.

A good Closure Experience will be…

Consciously Connected to the rest of the experience through Emotional Triggers that are Actionable by the user in a Timely manner.

Canon fail to link the starting experience, and the closure experience - despite having all the bits.

Canon Ink Cartridge

CCO by Ryan Stone

Epson’s PaperLab

Keeps closure visible to the user. Makes them responsible for it.

Recycle paper on site. Put old printed documents in one end - new paper comes out the other end.

Emotional TriggersClosure is Consciously Connected to the rest of the experience through Emotional Triggers that are Actionable by the user in a Timely manner.

Marie Kondo Tidying Technique

New York Times

Questioning: does a product ‘bring you joy?’ helps the owner understand the meaning if ownership and responsibility.

Encourages emotional endings with the clutter in your home

‘Goodbye, and thank you for teaching me what doesn’t suit me’

ActionableClosure is Consciously Connected to the rest of the experience through Emotional Triggers that are Actionable by the user in a Timely manner.

HTC One Mini Packaging

Some packaging mis-places closure

Starting experiences wrapped up as long term responsibility

Closure experience overlooked as important or actionable

An antisocial photo-sharing app

Anonymity makes closure simple

Rando—an app where serendipity rules the day and users send and receive random photos to and from random people all over the world.

A commitment to the perceived lifetime of the product

CCO by Ryan Stone

Traditional approaches of warranty aim to reassure against failures in the product. KIA aims to deliver assurance to the lifetime of the product.

KIA 7 year warranty disrupted the market when it first launched.

Mortgages

Jameslwoodward

There should be a period of reflection and celebration.30 years of

payback shouldn't end in a moment

Sadly debt is only celebrated, when more debt is added. Paying off debt is not celebrated, avoiding a Closure experience for the user.

Aftermath Targets

Rebirth Reflection Rest

Released to take part in another experience

Look back at a wonderful experience

Provides an opportunity to rest, a moment of peace

Closure Experience will bring about

Resentment

I could have made more of that opportunity

Regret

I feel cheated, and its someones fault.

Desirable Avoidable

Closure Experienced by the User Obsolescence created by industry

Fear Bullied Context Change

Exit Forgotten Exhausted (functional)

Outdated (technical)

Contractual (service)

Uncool (stylistic)

Paranoid that the digital service provider knows too much about you, that too much personal information has been disclosed to them.

Trolled off, individuals in the community have attacked the user.

User’s context has changed, which has an impact on what digital services they use. Having kids, moving home, changing jobs.

Provider has shut down, sold out, gone bust. A more successful product has superseded it.

App deleted off phone but account still active, unused email accounts that you have forgotten about.

Gems in Clash of Clans, PAYG credits. Game completed.

Bit Rot’ - out dated computer applications and their offspring files. ‘Vint Cerf, the Vice President at Google’ Flash, Silverlight.

T&Cs. Ending the provision of a service at the completion or termination of a contract.

Skeuomorphic GUI interface versus flat.

Has close links to Branding

There are 5 main types of closure experiences the user has with digital. And a further 4 of Obsolescence driven by industry.

Payment after delivery

Payment before delivery

Scheduled payment Synchronous

Continuous observation

restaurants, plumbers, hairdressers, taxis

flights, trains, music concert

gym membership, car insurance, utility payments

digitised services, pay-as-you-go, commissioned services

Google Maps, Facebook, phone manufactures, carriers

The Transaction type establishes the relationship for the rest of the service delivery and therefore characterises the Closure Experience.

Transaction Types1.

RecapGood closure experiences should be Consciously Connected to the rest of the experience through Emotional Triggers that are Actionable by the user in a Timely manner.

3 stages of consumer experience On-Boarding, Usage, Off-Boarding

Distancing of responsibility & Quickening of consumption have contributed to lack of Closure Experiences

On-Boarding = Starting Experiences Off-Boarding = Closure Experiences

A good Closure Experience will bring about comfortable Reflection, Rebirth, Peace Or a mix thereof

Design better endings? Or live in denial that you need them?
