OLD SCHOOL CUSTOMER SERVICE
NEW SCHOOL CUSTOMER SERVICE
I’M IN TECH, NOT CUSTOMER
SERVICE
I’ve observed people’s behavior in physical market places by serving and observing them. I’ve observed people’s behavior in digital market places by digging into data, both qualitative & quantitative—the digital equivalent of serving & observing.

YOUR LOCAL MAIN STREET
Signage, a window display, a doorway, some social proof with awards, TripAdvisor stickers, etc… even an A-frame sign!
THE NEW MAIN STREET
Signage = Title Window Display = Description Doorway = Strong CTAs/Links Social Proof = Star Ratings & Reviews A-frame Sign = Ad Listing w/ Categories & USPs
Stores commonly “trap” people. Womp womp.
Create compelling landing pages.

SIGNAGE = NAV & SUB NAV
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE = STORE DESIGN

SELL?
