The In-Store Experience: Selecting A Digital Camera

Forrester Examined The In-Store Experience At Four Major Retailers

by Bruce D. Temkin

with Caroline L. Carney, Vidya L. Drego, Tamara Mendelsohn, Adele Sage

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

We examined the in-store experience for researching and selecting a digital camera in four major retail stores: Best Buy, Circuit City, RadioShack, and Wal-Mart. We found many flaws in these experiences, especially when browsing within the digital camera sections of the stores. But we also found some good practices like Circuit City's signage, Wal-Mart's product information guide, and RadioShack's product selection content. Retailers can make significant improvements if they tap into their Web assets, develop experience design standards, and use personas.
