VUI is about growing brand

VUI design is not just about UX. It’s about business growth. This is what periodicals and ecommerce websites are begining to discover.

Simply put, if you fail to jump into the voiced content revolution, it will be your brand that’s left stalled while savvy competitors take the lead. Content UX expectations are a higher concern for most Millenials than brand loyalty. That’s a “baby boomer thing”. Brands to them are still important, but can change very quickly as function and immediate gratification concerns take precedence.

How can you prepare? By ceding importance to these concerns of your emerging audience demographic.

VUI Design Project Steps

We do fact-finding research via an initial information request, via a prepared document. Here we gain information like your budgetary concerns, technological must-haves, and any additional obstacles that could impact the final project delivery budget.
We consult your contact one-on-one via phone and/or messaging to help figure out how best to implement our recommendations, as well as any needed adjustments. If both client and our project team agree after this stage, we proceed with the next step, beginning the project.
We provide a roadmap to achieving the solidified plan.
We begin VUI development work modules followed by client-side contact module approvals.
We walk your PM and team through the finished VUI and take requests for any minor corrections or additional tweaks before sign-off.
We can provide an optional plan for VUI otimization of existing content, as well as a template for use in all future content, as an add-on service.s
