Todays Documentation Challenges

Unclear andcumbersome text-baseddocumentation can lead

to a frustratingcustomer experienceand lack of success

with the product.

Disconnecteddocumentation

Improving Customer Experience

A USA Today poll shows that manyof todays customers expect 3Dproduct information. 3D marketingis now business normal.

Online Consumers Say:

80% say 3D images make them morelikely to purchase a product

60% say they would be more likely topurchase if they had 3D instructions

65% say they would be less likely toreturn a product after viewing it in 3D

The Cost of Product Returns

Accenture has highlighted theimportance of reducing returns anddriving loyalty:

68% of returns due to poor

documentationOnly 5% of returns due to theproduct being truly defective

$13.8B is spent annually to rebox,restock and resell returned products
