Integrity: Emotions are sacred
Source: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Scaling Emotion
● Site is open to everyone.
● Not all inventory is as limited.
Personal Shoppers: Do they scale?
Connection
1. Understand your customer
2. Do things to create connection
3. Communicate the things you are doing
Using Personalization to create Connection
“It is an
excellent idea.
Although I did
not select
anything on this
offering, I am
sure another will
be successful.”
Using A/B testing to foster Connection
Example
“Be the first to shop with Chrome push
notifications!”
vs.
“Get notified the moment sales start with Gilt
Chrome notifications.” KPI: 8%
lift in opt-
ins.
Negative Example
Because this price has been further reduced, this item is not returnable.
Motivation vs Friction: Going to the Gym
Motivation > Friction
I feel overweight. Takes too much time.
My body is sore from dis-use. Too far too drive.
I’m going to the beach in a month. It’s going to hurt.
Motivation vs Friction: Buying on Gilt
Motivation > Friction
I don’t want to miss out on owning this. Too expensive.
It’s going to look amazing on me. I want it right now.
I need new jeans. I’m afraid it won’t fit.
Connection in other companies: Amazon
Connection elsewhere: internal tools
KPI:
Adoption
and
satisfactio
n are high.
Connection elsewhere: recruiting
KPI: Hiring
and
retention
rates are
up.
