Shopping Bag & Checkout
Experience Redesign

It's essential to recognize the diverse spectrum of customer intent regarding product purchases. This spectrum can range from low intent, such as a customer casually viewing a product in a carousel, to medium intent, where a customer adds a product to their favorites, and finally to high intent, where a customer proceeds to the checkout ___process.

However, a significant volume of products are added to shopping carts but do not result in completed purchases. This phenomenon suggests that there is a more granular level of customer intent that is not currently being fully captured or understood. For example, items saved in the cart but not checked out may indicate various levels of interest and intent that fall between casual browsing and committed purchasing.

Understanding and mapping this nuanced spectrum of intent is crucial for retailers. By analyzing the different stages of customer interaction with products, from initial interest to final purchase, we can identify patterns and optimize the shopping experience. This might involve implementing targeted interventions, such as personalized follow-up communications, enhanced cart reminders, or offering incentives to convert these higher-intent cart additions into actual sales.

In conclusion, recognizing and addressing the granularity of customer intent can significantly enhance conversion rates and overall customer satisfaction. As product designers, our goal should be to create an intuitive and responsive shopping environment that caters to these varying levels of intent, ultimately driving more efficient and effective retail strategies.
