Canon faced a challenge common to many electronics brands: helping customers navigate complex product catalogs to find the right fit for their needs. From printers to cameras, Canon's products often involve technical specifications that can overwhelm shoppers, particularly those unfamiliar with industry jargon.
In addition, Canon needed to ensure its digital channels provided the same level of guidance and confidence that customers might expect from in-store experiences. The goal was to simplify the product discovery process, reduce decision paralysis, and empower customers to make informed choices.
Key challenges:
Canon partnered with Zoovu to enhance its digital product discovery experience, deploying solutions that simplify technical specifications and guide customers toward the right products.
Canon leveraged Zoovu's Data Platform to transform complex product attributes into customer-friendly language. For example, technical terms like "PPM (pages per minute)" were explained in plain language, helping customers understand how printer speed impacts productivity.
Using Zoovu's guided selling, Canon launched its Printer Advisor, which asked intuitive questions to guide customers toward the right product:
These personalized interactions ensured customers found the perfect printer for their needs, even in the absence of in-store assistance.
Canon increased visibility of its digital assistants across all channels, ensuring customers could easily access the Printer Advisor during their shopping journey.
