“If I had asked people what they
wanted, they would have said …

I never add products back in.
And eventually I buy something.
Deliver rational and emotional reasons
Test, learn, do it again!
Test
Learn
Improve
Don’t trust people, trust actions

Digital strategy then …
Accept people are irrational.
Give them emotional and rational reasons to purchase.
Observe don’t ask directly.
Test, learn, improve.
Don’t fear change – nothing is ever complete!
