DESCRIPTION

Citation preview
Usability is so 2010...
“The thinking processes that guide our commercial choices are complex and emotional, not logical and linear.”
MAKE THE USER SMILE Emotional Design
About me
Remy Blaettler«Chief of the System»

Why?
Only bad usability leaves a lasting impression
Good usability is taken for granted
We are looking for the little perky smile
No wow effect is needed
How?
Gameification Simplicity
Context Sensitive Humor, Irony Surprising Personal & Personality

How not
Lets do it
Context Sensitive

Late evening greetingWow, working hard today, Remy?

Give automation a personality
Emails are signed with «Boxed Ice Robot Llama» at Boxed Ice
Don’t do the noreply thing
And be personal
Sign e-mails with your name and your e-mail
Address the customer with his name Use the appropriate greeting
(Du/Sie)«Hey Remy» sounds so much better than «Dear Mister Blättler»
Make sure this is stored appropriately in your CRM
But then people might write back?!

Humans are not rational beings.
A human is a walking bag of squishy meat and liquids, awash in chemicals.

Some will hate them. Some will love them.
