Understanding How Design Shapes Consumer Interactions

Posted by saypan on October 7th, 2019

At a very basic level, the best way to get someone to buy your product is to make sure that they see it. The goal of content design is to engage. Engagement is essential to develop a bond and win the loyalty of your customers. Finally, leading them to recommend your brand to others in the market and help you grow.

What intrigues a customer? Why does a customer connect with your brand? How can you communicate with your customers? People respond to what they recognize and believe it or not, these subtle design techniques are helping shape customer behavior.

What Influences Healthy Consumer Behavior?
 

Here are the four pillars that’d attribute to a healthy customer behavior with your design:

Empathy

By definition, empathy includes emotion — a connection beyond satisfaction with the operational. Customers tend to associate better to a product or brand if they can relate with the message being conveyed by the design. It’s important for the product developers to walk in their customer’s shoes and discover obstacles in the customer journey.

As customers evolve, design thinking will only grow in importance in the decades ahead. The extent to which you understand and empathize with your customers ultimately determines the success of your design.

 
 

Clarity

Clarity can be measured by answering: how effectively does the screen or workflow communicate the desired information? Your target audience should grasp the message being conveyed through the design.

Many of the brand consultants and creative advertising agencies believe in simplicity. They aim to communicate the message as clearly as possible. And, more often than not, it ends up being a successful strategy. The clarity in design often goes hand in hand with clean beautiful type, balanced use of color, and a knowledge and appreciation of best practices in layouts.
