The Brief
IKEA is a Swedish-founded multinational group that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and home accessories, among other useful goods and home services. It has been the world’s largest furniture retailer since at least 2008. IKEA has also recently realised strategic partnerships like the ones with SONOS and LEGO and together designed products outside the traditional home furnishing categories.
IKEA Australia stores are the destination for approximately 400,000 visitors per week. 4 of the 10 stores are linked to a shopping centre while the other 6 are standalone stores. The IKEA range consists of approximately 10,000 articles and this, along with the size of the stores and multitude of services generates numerous questions that are normally referred to co-workers (IKEA staff).
This brief focuses on conducting research to validate the idea of creating a digital touchpoint for customers in-store. The research report should provide a recommendation on the format for the digital touchpoint and what features it should include to satisfy the customers needs.
