01. BACKGROUND

Introducing Shipt, nationwide.

03. THE ASK.

How might we redesign the logged-out Shipt.com experience to improve brand affinity and acquisition?

04. GOALS.

Increase
Conversion.

Create easy, engaging pathways to conversion for prospective Shipt customers.

Increase
Differentiation.

Tell the Shipt story in a compelling way to make a distinct impact on users.

Increase
Re-engagement.

As possible, set or broaden expectations for prospective Shipt customers to overcome re-engagement challenges later in the life cycle.

05. TIMELINE.

01/01.

Community powers the next generation of services.

01/02. IDI + workshops

The user research gave us the shape of the solution.

Collaborated with research team to figure out the true voice of existing customers, shoppers, prospective customers.

02/03. Research Insights

"We’ re better together."

Throughout research, users indicated that they look to their community of friends, family, or neighbors for recommendations, reviews, reassurance, or connection.

Service

"I’d much rather take a few minutes out of my day to thank my delivery person...than have a clinical, cold transaction that can be substituted by two robots." 
“I like having that ‘human connection’ on a face-to-face level.”

"We’ re better together."

“I first heard about Walmart Grocery when I moved in with my current roommate…I decided to look into it.”

“Getting help increases the possibility of what can be accomplished opposed to being alone.”

What could make the experience stand out and more sustainable?

How do we rebuild the experience in Information Architecture?

How do we redesign the logged-out experience of Shipt.com?

02/01. Information Architecture

Move from gated to open experience to better communicate value of Shipt pre-signup.

02/02. Site Map Problem

Identified 2 primary problems from Shipt current site map.

1. Scattered architecture.

It is rarely possible to navigate between landing pages. Most of them are isolated from the main site.

2. The "log-in" wall hided all the great value.

Since there is no way to navigate between landing pages, your only option to experience Shipt is to log in.

02/03. Site Map Solution

An integrated approach

An ecosystem that connects different landing pages and embedded the former log-in shopping experience to a logged-out journey.

1. Global top navigation

Different entry points and sub-domains are incorporated into the main shipt.com site.

2. Setting up multiple login touch points.

Customers could have the former log-in shopping experience without login.

02/04. User Journey Problems

Identified 3 primary problems from Shipt current User Journey

1. A navigation that is not working hard enough 

It has been defined by tactical goals and does not provide an inspiring experience.  It provides little utility to first time users and limits their opportunity to explore.

2. Key questions aren’t answered.

In the current experience, key consideration points aren’t fully answered Considerations such as:
What’s the true value of a membership?
How Shipt could make life easier or more enjoyable?
How does it resonate with my personal values?
Why Shipt is reliable (reviews, social proof)?

3. Value exchange isn’t clear.

Currently, there isn’t a strong enough “value case” for users to provide personal information (zip code). Similarly, the information pre-Registration could be inadequate and contributing to attrition.
