The Purpose of Service Environments The service environment influences buyer behaviour in 3 ways



Message-creating Medium: symbolic cues to communicate the distinctive nature and quality of the service experience.



Attention-creating Medium: to make the servicescape stand out from other competing establishments, and to attract customers from target segments.



Effect-creating Medium: colors, textures, sounds, scents and spatial design to enhance the desired service experience, and/or to heighten an appetite for certain goods, services or experiences

Helps the firm to create a distinctive image & positioning that is unique. Slide ©2004 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz

The Mehrabian-Russell Stimulus-Response Model

 Simple and fundamental model of how people respond to environments

 Peoples’ conscious and unconscious perceptions and

interpretation of the environment influence how they feel in that environment

 Feelings, rather than perceptions or thoughts drive behavior  Typical outcome variable is ‘approach’ or ‘avoidance’ of an

environment, but other possible outcomes can be added to the model as well

The Russell Model of Affect

 Emotional responses to environments can be described along two main dimensions, pleasure and arousal.

 Pleasure is subjective depending on how much the individual likes or dislikes the environment

 Arousal quality of an environment is dependent on its “information load”, i.e., its degree of

 Novelty (unexpected, surprising, new, familiar) and  Complexity (number of elements, extent of motion or change)

Drivers of Affect

 Affect can be caused by perceptions and cognitive processes of any degree of complexity.

 Simple Cognitive Processes, Perception of Stimuli  tangible cues (of service quality)  consumer satisfaction

 Complex Cognitive Processes  affective charged schemata processing  attribution processes

The more complex a cognitive process becomes, the more powerful its potential impact on affect.However, most service encounters are routine. Simple processes can determine affect. Slide ©2004 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz

Behavioral Consequence of Affect

 Basically, pleasant environments result in approach,

and

unpleasant environments result in avoidance

 Arousal acts as an amplifier of the basic effect of pleasure on behavior

 If the environment is pleasant, increasing arousal can lead

to excitement and stronger positive consumer response. If the environment is unpleasant, increasing arousal level will move consumers into the Distressing region

 Feelings during the service encounter is also an important driver of customer loyalty

An Integrated Framework – Bitner’s ServiceScape Model(con’t)

 Identifies the main dimensions in a service environment and views them holistically

 Customer and employee responses classified under,

cognitive, emotional and psychological which would in turn lead to overt behavior towards the environment

 Key to effective design is how well each individual dimension fits together with everything else

Dimensions of the Service Environment Service environments are complex and have many design elements. The main dimensions in the servicescape model includes:

 Ambient Conditions  Music (e.g, fast tempo and high volume increase arousal

levels)  Scent (strong impact on mood, affect and evaluative

responses, purchase intention and in-store behavior)  Color (e.g, warm colors associated with elated mood states

and arousal but also increase anxiety, cool colors reduce arousal but can elicit peacefulness and calm) Slide ©2004 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz

Dimensions of the Service Environment (con’t)

 Spatial Layout and Functionality  Layout refers to size and shape of furnishings and the ways it

is arranged  Functionality is the ability of those items to facilitate performance

 Signs, Symbols and Artifact  Explicit or implicit signals to communicate the firm’s image,

help consumers find their way and to convey the rules of behavior

Selection of Environmental Design Elements

 There is a multitude of research on the perception and

impact of environmental stimuli on behaviour, including:  People density, crowding  Lighting  Sound/noise  Scents and odours  Queues

 No standard formula to designing the perfect combination of these elements.

 Design from the customer’s perspective  Design with a holistic view! Slide ©2004 by Christopher Lovelock and Jochen Wirtz

Tools to Guide in Servicescape Design

 Keen Observation of Customers’ Behavior and Responses to the service environment by management, supervisors, branch managers, and frontline staff

 Feedback and Ideas from Frontline Staff and Customers using a broad array of research tools ranging from suggestion boxes to focus groups and surveys.

 Field Experiments can be used to manipulate specific

dimensions in an environment and the effects observed.

 Blueprinting or Service Mapping - extended to include the physical evidence in the environment.
