The Challenge

The cinema chain had two distinct personas to consider: their cherished members who enjoyed exclusive benefits like discounted ticket prices, and non-members who constituted a significant portion of their audience. The goal was to understand the user experience when both personas booked movie tickets, both via the mobile app and on desktop.

 
 

 

The Approach

To tackle this challenge, the cinema chain turned to Indeemo. The research involved capturing the user journey in its entirety, from the moment of ticket booking to the actual cinematic experience. Here's how they did it:

User Journey Reflections

The research participants, divided equally between members and non-members, were asked to articulate their booking experiences. Using the Indeemo app, they walked through their steps, sharing their frustrations and highlighting what worked seamlessly.

Real-Time Documentation

The cinema experience itself was documented by both personas in real time. Armed with smartphones, participants took photos and recorded videos using the Indeemo app, capturing every facet of their cinematic journey.

Sequential Tasking

The researchers adopted a sequential style tasking through Indeemo. Each task appeared after the previous one was completed, allowing for a natural progression of the research, much like a movie plot unfolding.

 
 

The Fieldwork

The fieldwork extended over one week, granting participants the flexibility to choose when they wanted to visit the cinema. This approach ensured a diverse range of experiences, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the customer journey.

Key Benefits of Indeemo

Mobile Screen Recording

Indeemo's mobile screen recording capability was a game-changer. It allowed the cinema chain to see precisely how users navigated their mobile app during the booking process. They could identify pain points, such as confusing interfaces or slow load times, and address them promptly.

Video Insights

Video brought a dynamic and authentic dimension to the research. Participants' facial expressions, verbal feedback, and on-the-spot reactions were invaluable. Video made it possible to gauge not just what participants did but also how they felt, offering a deeper level of understanding that traditional surveys or questionnaires could not provide.

Journey Mapping

Indeemo's journey mapping capability allowed the cinema chain to visualise the entire customer experience. They could trace the steps users took, from exploring movie options to purchasing tickets, and even documenting their on-site experience. This comprehensive view helped the cinema chain identify pain points, moments of delight, and areas for improvement throughout the entire customer journey.
