Why visualization needed
 People are more likely to

purchase pieces in great design ideas

purchase if they see 3D

purchase products that can be customized
 Sales reps' helper tool/B&M with limited showroom
 The more you show (effectively), the more you sell (~250%)
Current development
While trying these apps another question came up to me. Do
people really need the exact product? Will they want the
same design but better quality or more economic options
instead? Image search can help to achieve it. If there was
more time I'd start another user research for this product
design proposal. For this class project I'm sticking to the
visualization suite.

Namiko
Violinist of City
Orchestra who
lives close to
the concert hall
by herself
Busy urban organized living
Namiko has been playing violin since 7. 25 years in classical music made her appreciate the elegant and
harmonic lifestyle. Due to the busy schedule (performance and tutoring) and not having a car, she
frequently shops online. Recently she found a modular cabinet line online. She likes the good value and
customizability, and also wants to see a few configurations to know if any will best match her small urban
apartment and existing shabby chic furniture. Size and style are really important to her. It will be great if
she can decide without going to the physical showroom as the nearest one is still far away. But some
previous experience made her worry about possible discrepancy on the product quality.
Goals
 Find a cabinet will suit storage needs, fit into the limited space and match the style
 Spend less effort on furniture hunting and more time relaxing at home
Problems or pains
 Details are helpful but still cannot visualize for daily use and style coherence
 Reading the long text-based reviews is time consuming and not effective enough
 Cannot decide to buy and still browse around, too much effort too little gain

Lisa & Alex

Married for 4 years

Live in suburb

Both work full-time

Expecting their
first baby
He helps but she needs more help
Lisa and Alex moved into this townhouse in the tranquil residential suburb about 2 years ago. They both do
about 30 miles train ride into city center for work. As they are expecting their first baby boy, they are
transforming a small bedroom into a nursery. The last thing they need is a chest of drawers and they agreed
to buy a modular design for future expansion when the kid grows up. Lisa is debating among a few custom
finishes, but Alex has no preference. He cares more about his football games. Lisa wants to know more
about other buyers' experiences and discuss with others before final purchase. Also she wants to reduce
the risk to return as this is an online store. She knows Alex will be happy helping with assembling and
arranging but she doesn't want Alex to waste his time if it turns out not to be a good fit.
Goals
 Find a chest of drawers will suffice storage need, fit into the limited space and match the style
 Know how others are preparing for growing family
 Lower the risk of returning it
Problems or pains
 Details are helpful but still cannot visualize the fit and use
 Reading the long text-based reviews is time consuming and not effective enough
 Not able to easily describe the designs and discuss with others for peace of mind

Subscription charges

Monthly maintenance fee: $20 per month per account + $.50 per item

Monthly reporting fee (optional): $20 per month per account + $.10 per item

This is add-on in addition to regular listing. Monthly reporting is the service to provide insights/analytics from how consumers use AR.
Usage charges
(Each step is closer to sales or virality)
Revenue estimation
Per capita sales was $302 in 2012. The minimal revenue via AR service for per capita sales will be .05 + .
03% * 302 + 2% * 302 = $6.18. But initially the platform will be only available for online casegoods (18%
of all categories, 15% online channel). So the adjusted minimal revenue per capita is 6.18 * 18% * 15%
= $0.17. And in 2012 there were 314.1 million people in the US. So the initial revenue via AR service can
be up to 53.4 millions.
I don't charge for initiating AR process because lots of consumers will want to try it out but may stop
there. It's fair as I already ask for monthly fees. And there will be additional revenue collected from
viewing details, saving pictures, sharing pictures and referrals.
Top 100 retails count for 70% of the market share. Each one of the top 100 (.7% share) clients can
generate initial revenue of 373.8 thousands.

Revenue estimation
Per capita sales was $302 in 2012. The minimal revenue via 360 reviews service for per capita sales will
be 1% * 302 = $3. But initially the platform will be only available for online casegoods (18% of all
categories, 15% online channel). So the adjusted minimal revenue per capita is 3 * 18% * 15% = $0.08.
And in 2012 there were 314.1 million people in the US. So the initial revenue via 360 reviews service
can be up to 25.13 millions.
I don't charge for basic usage because it's also available with regular subscription. It's fair as I already
ask for monthly fees. And there will be additional revenue collected from viewing details.
Top 100 retails count for 70% of the market share. Each one of the top 100 (.7% share) clients can
generate initial revenue of 175.91 thousands.

  • 13. Why visualization needed People are more likely to purchase pieces in great design ideas purchase if they see 3D purchase products that can be customized Sales reps' helper tool/B&M with limited showroom The more you show (effectively), the more you sell (~250%) Current development
  • 14. While trying these apps another question came up to me. Do people really need the exact product? Will they want the same design but better quality or more economic options instead? Image search can help to achieve it. If there was more time I'd start another user research for this product design proposal. For this class project I'm sticking to the visualization suite.

  • 21. Personas & storyboards Namiko Violinist of City Orchestra who lives close to the concert hall by herself Busy urban organized living Namiko has been playing violin since 7. 25 years in classical music made her appreciate the elegant and harmonic lifestyle. Due to the busy schedule (performance and tutoring) and not having a car, she frequently shops online. Recently she found a modular cabinet line online. She likes the good value and customizability, and also wants to see a few configurations to know if any will best match her small urban apartment and existing shabby chic furniture. Size and style are really important to her. It will be great if she can decide without going to the physical showroom as the nearest one is still far away. But some previous experience made her worry about possible discrepancy on the product quality. Goals Find a cabinet will suit storage needs, fit into the limited space and match the style Spend less effort on furniture hunting and more time relaxing at home Problems or pains Details are helpful but still cannot visualize for daily use and style coherence Reading the long text-based reviews is time consuming and not effective enough Cannot decide to buy and still browse around, too much effort too little gain
  • 23. Personas & storyboards Lisa & Alex Married for 4 years Live in suburb Both work full-time Expecting their first baby He helps but she needs more help Lisa and Alex moved into this townhouse in the tranquil residential suburb about 2 years ago. They both do about 30 miles train ride into city center for work. As they are expecting their first baby boy, they are transforming a small bedroom into a nursery. The last thing they need is a chest of drawers and they agreed to buy a modular design for future expansion when the kid grows up. Lisa is debating among a few custom finishes, but Alex has no preference. He cares more about his football games. Lisa wants to know more about other buyers' experiences and discuss with others before final purchase. Also she wants to reduce the risk to return as this is an online store. She knows Alex will be happy helping with assembling and arranging but she doesn't want Alex to waste his time if it turns out not to be a good fit. Goals Find a chest of drawers will suffice storage need, fit into the limited space and match the style Know how others are preparing for growing family Lower the risk of returning it Problems or pains Details are helpful but still cannot visualize the fit and use Reading the long text-based reviews is time consuming and not effective enough Not able to easily describe the designs and discuss with others for peace of mind

  • 42. Market size Based on 2012 data Furniture and home furnishings store sales: 97.39 billions Equal to per capita sales: $302 US population: 314.1 millions Casegoods counted for 18.01% of all furniture and home furnishing store sales Online counted for 15% of all channels Initial minimal online market size: 2.63 billions Total minimal online market size: 14.61 billions Market & pricing

Monthly reporting is the service to provide insights/analytics from how consumers use AR. Usage charges (Each step is closer to sales or virality)
  • 44. Revenue estimation Per capita sales was $302 in 2012. The minimal revenue via AR service for per capita sales will be .05 + . 03% * 302 + 2% * 302 = $6.18. But initially the platform will be only available for online casegoods (18% of all categories, 15% online channel). So the adjusted minimal revenue per capita is 6.18 * 18% * 15% = $0.17. And in 2012 there were 314.1 million people in the US. So the initial revenue via AR service can be up to 53.4 millions. I don't charge for initiating AR process because lots of consumers will want to try it out but may stop there. It's fair as I already ask for monthly fees. And there will be additional revenue collected from viewing details, saving pictures, sharing pictures and referrals. Top 100 retails count for 70% of the market share. Each one of the top 100 (.7% share) clients can generate initial revenue of 373.8 thousands. Market & pricing AR picture

  • 46. Revenue estimation Per capita sales was $302 in 2012. The minimal revenue via 360 reviews service for per capita sales will be 1% * 302 = $3. But initially the platform will be only available for online casegoods (18% of all categories, 15% online channel). So the adjusted minimal revenue per capita is 3 * 18% * 15% = $0.08. And in 2012 there were 314.1 million people in the US. So the initial revenue via 360 reviews service can be up to 25.13 millions. I don't charge for basic usage because it's also available with regular subscription. It's fair as I already ask for monthly fees. And there will be additional revenue collected from viewing details. Top 100 retails count for 70% of the market share. Each one of the top 100 (.7% share) clients can generate initial revenue of 175.91 thousands. Market & pricing 360 reviews
