out-of-box experience (OOBE)
our prix-fixe menu
Improve customer relationships: The out-of-box experience can be delightful or stressful, and it often deeply affects a customer's perception of your business. Observe the first experience people have with your product, when opening the package and taking it into use. Improve first impressions and interactions, enhance user guides, reduce customer support costs. Optimal prior to a launch, but also very effective after.
In-home videotaped observation of the interactions and first impressions a user has with a product (or service) after purchase. Conversation and follow-up questions with the user while it's happening. Each user also keeps an online diary documenting their first ten days of experience.
