CASE STUDY – SELF SEGMENTATION

TYPICALLY, NOKIA pushes a single new product or service as its hero image on the homepage. Our concern was that while this would raise awareness of that single product, it might frustrate customers who were visiting the site looking for other information (accessories, support, downloads, etc.)

With so many different types of visitors (existing customers, new customers, potential customers, etc.) each with a different goal, how

could NOKIA make a single site address each segment?

Typical Nokia Hero Image – Great if you need a new phone, but less useful if you already

have one, or if this isn’t a device that interests you.

Typical Nokia Hero Image – Only relevant if you already have a NOKIA device and want

navigation on it.
