Upgrade your user, not your product. Don’t build better cameras — build better photographers. — Kathy Sierra
Generally, myself included, we tend to forget that whenever we sell products and services we should aim for an experience, a feeling, an emotion.
Don’t focus on the brain, the mind, the intelligence.
Look for the emotion, the feeling, how can you build a relation, how you can make people feel something.
A positive experience, if possible. :)
An online store should, thus, focus not only on the technical and logical characteristics of a product – product specifications, value, price.
There’s an emotional part, also, design, beauty, trust, community, security, engagement, recurrence, empathy.
People need emotions.
