7. Customer expectations… of a
student…
Typical undergraduate
first year business
student; started
University 6 weeks ago
Internationally-
oriented, career driven
and wants an industry
relevant education
Primary goal of attending
university is to get a job
and will have student
debt of £35k
Will partake in extra
courses, get involved
and wants an
experience as part of
his education
To enable him to start the real-time
conversation while in Manchester, I asked
him about his technology choices and how he
wanted his education delivered.
Student expectations, commitment,
demands and education consumption has
dramatically changed

8. He would have gone online as he knows
it's cheaper; probably using the DELL
website as he heard it's good
value/quality.
Configured his computer online (from
thousands of configurations) and
(grudgingly) bought the student version
of Microsoft Office separately.
Paid using his parents credit card and
waited 2 weeks for delivery. All this time
he never spoke to a single person.
‘Then’
He would research online and then go
down to his nearest Apple store and get
his 15% student discount.
Expects to be seen straight away, talk to
an ‘expert’, purchase laptop, synchronise
to his iPhone, iPad and iCloud.
Purchase Apple Care and call the service
line a few times over the next few weeks.
Overall, not the cheapest but Ed is paying
for the ‘experience’ and ‘product’.
‘Now’
Consumers expect a seamless experience
regardless of when and where they are
