These people are delighting
in a line:
they’re engaged,
anticipating,
discovering,
creating memories.
They’re in the moment.
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13
These people are delighting
in a line:
they’re engaged,
anticipating,
discovering,
creating memories
thanks to content.
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13
Content will change an experience
and a user’s perception of it.

You wait longer, but you’re engaged
before you get there. You’re invested in
the experience.

When people have a frustrating
experience, they rate the checkout as
slow.
When we ask people what’s ‘slow,’ it’s
the frustrating experiences. What’s
fast? They say delightful experiences.
Jared Spool (@jmspool)
That was horrible
and it took forever.

Is the nature of the transaction so
small and insignificant that it
shouldn’t require a second thought?
Don’t get in the way. Or will the
consumer get to the final transaction
after plenty of preliminary research?
Again, don’t make them rethink it.
Jared Spool (@jmspool)

Efficient isn’t always effective—
or good.
Users say frustrating activities
take forever.
But are time-consuming
activities also inherently
frustrating?

Users can appreciate slow
experiences:
they’re engaged,
anticipating,
creating memories.
They discover, learn, and pay
attention to act deliberately.
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13
“bad” slow vs. “good” slow?
Users can appreciate slow
experiences:
they’re engaged,
anticipating,
creating memories.
They discover, learn, and pay
attention to act deliberately.
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13
What will a slow pace do?
• Drive exploration & discovery
• Encourage deliberate choices
• Focus users’ attention
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13
How do you set the pace?
• Editorial style and structures
• Discovery-oriented content
• Design that creates space
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13

“Choosing a lens can be a daunting task
for all of the reasons mentioned above,
so I pulled together some info from my
own experiences, as well as those of
other Crutchfield shutterbugs.”

“Springtime shaded belays at the creek,
predawn starts in the Canadian Rockies
and hut tours in the High Sierra:
Anywhere brisk, the Down Sweater
delivers featherweight, superbly
compressible warmth.The polyester
ripstop shell on this down jacket does
more than look sharp; it’s tear-resistant,
windproof, and made from 100%
polyester.”

Attention must be paid
©Viking
The right content
slows down users,
focuses their attention, and
helps them act deliberately.
It respects them and
the topic equally.

Our content strategy is pretty simple:
we stay as close to our core market as
possible.
Patagonia’s always had a literary,
storytelling component to the brand.
It’s in line with what we say: buy less
stuff and make sure what you buy lasts.
Bill Boland, Patagonia
@mbloomstein | #UXPABos13

On a short-term basis, it doesn’t help
us move product. It doesn’t meet your
weekly sales goal. It’s not about short-
term ROI. It’s something we enjoy and
the people we build clothes for enjoy.
Bill Boland, Patagonia
