Brief

The IQOS subscription program is a crucial part of the IQOS service, offering an attractive device subscription service for customers through installment payments and comprehensive after-sales service. This helps to alleviate customers' burdens, address concerns about device malfunctions, and expand business opportunities. Accompanying the release of the new generation IQOS device and new brand guidelines, we have entirely revised the UI/UX design of the IQOS subscription website. The purpose of this is to provide a consistent customer experience across the entire IQOS service and to promote the sales of the new generation IQOS devices. IQOSの定額プランは、IQOSサービスの重要な一部であり、分割払いや充実したアフターサービスによって、顧客にとって魅力的なデバイスのサブスクリプションサービスを提供しています。これにより、顧客の負担を減らし、デバイスの故障に対する懸念を解消し、ビジネスの機会を拡大することができます。新世代のIQOSデバイスと新しいブランドガイドラインのリリースに伴い、私たちは定額プランのウェブサイトのUI/UXデザインを全面的に見直しました。その目的は、IQOSサービス全体で一貫した顧客体験を提供し、新世代のIQOSデバイスの販売を促進することです。

Subscriber Attributes



Based on the characteristics of our subscribers, we're able to construct a persona representing our target user. Concurrently, this allows us to begin exploring consumer insights and identifying potential opportunities.

Targeted Needs Along the Consumer Journey



Affordability is one of the obvious pain points a subscription program can address while offering flexibility to customers' purchase options (PAYG or Subscribe). IQOS Device Subscription also conveys peace of mind or a trouble-free experience, including extra subscriber benefits (value for money).

Result

Two months after the website launch, we analyzed the Scroll Reach Map and Click Heatmap to understand user interactions with the site. Here are the key findings.


Scroll Reach and Click Heatmap of the Landing Page

  • The Call to Action (CTA) elements are receiving good interaction, however, the colored dots seem to be causing some confusion.

  • Further down the page, the CTAs within the comparison section are also drawing substantial engagement.

  • According to the Scroll Reach Heatmaps, about 60% of visitors scroll beyond the initial view of the page.

  • The Scroll Reach data indicates that 60% of page visitors view content below the Subscription Plan CTA, while the comparison section is viewed by 50% or fewer visitors.


Scroll Reach and Click Heatmap of Plan Detail Page


  • Click heatmaps reveal that the primary areas of user engagement on the page are the color palette of the product and the carousel image selector.

  • According to the Scroll Reach heatmaps, it is observed that all visitors view the product listing at the top of the page, which aligns with the expected behavior.

  • The menu navigation at the header of the page experiences minimal user interaction.
