Each one of us has a preferred way of organizing things. When we go to an e-commerce (or brick and mortar) store, many times it’s arranged in a way that is not comfortable or intuitive for us.
Have a dynamically changing structure to the way the e-commerce store is presented to the visitor. Use both tracking data and direct input from the visitors to tailor the presentation and structure of products in the store.
Use the real world to imagine a different one.
An augmented reality app that allows you to apply real-time filters to the camera video stream and create a strange looking world from the real world around you. You can change the colors, contrast, shapes, by moving sliders on screen. When you are satisfied, you can take snapshots or record a video of your strange new world and share it online.
Customers don’t want to be bothered, and unless you have the right sales people doing it the right way, you are better off not bothering them until the right time.
Have “get help” button at many places in your store. The shopper should not walk more than a couple of steps to get to such a button. At the same time have no sales people visible at all. When the client presses such a button, a sales person should know where it was pressed and be there in a couple of minutes.
See if and how well you can predict the future.
A website where people can write their view on how the future will be and in what time frame. It’s like a public reversed time capsule. Each user will get an alert from time to time (they can decide the frequency, but maximum once a year) to check their prediction and add to it their new thoughts. Others can comment on their prediction and discuss it, and anyone can share them.
A large car is comfortable and safe, but it’s also harder to find a parking place for it on the street.
Build the car so that it can contract before parking.
