BRIEF
ASURION - WALMART APP
ASSIGNMENT
Unveil a prototype Walmart Mobile App at CES
to blow the minds of Walmart executives.

Demonstrate how we can integrate protection

and proactive tech support into the app to
transform it into a progressive shopping
experience.
APP USERS
UP & COMING BELIEVERS
•Older Millennials (25 - 34 years old)
•HHI of $80,000
•Married with children
•Early majority tech adopters
•Avid texters and mobile data users
•Long-time iPhone and iPad users
ATTITUDE ON PROTECTION PLANS
They are strong believers in extended warranties
and handset protection. They believe purchasing
protection is simply the right thing to do – both
smart and responsible. They have frequent
support needs for both their mobile phones and
computers, and also use a variety of digital
protection and data back-up resources.
INSIGHT

Shoppers go to Walmart to meet their tech

needs at a low cost, but the store’s value
begins and ends with price because shoppers
don’t have a reason to engage with the brand
further.
OPPORTUNITY

Make the Walmart app a key point for daily

engagement by simplifying and improving
shoppers’ tech-enabled lives and bringing
them moments of unexpected utility and
delight.
DESIGN BRIEF

at a low cost, but the store’s value begins and
INSIGHT ends with price because shoppers don’t have a

with the multi-device protection)

daily tech needs for the shopper
USER SCENARIO 3: MULTI-DEVICE

in a shoppers family?
• Multi-Device Protection with basic tech support offers a
“subscription” service that allows the shopper to cover all
their electronics purchased at Walmart for a monthly fee
- Basic tech support offers set-up for new CE devices
• Generate ideas that bring together the digital family
USER SCENARIO 4: SOCIAL

community around tech support?

other shoppers who are active Tech Concierge users

that build the Walmart Protection & Tech Support/Concierge
community

a replacement or repair is needed

when our shoppers are in need of some guidance?

suggestions that will be perceived as valuable to the shopper
for new CE purchases, accessories for existing purchases, etc.
• Deals & Promotions that tag into
- How the shopper uses their tech
- What the shopper has bought previously
- Social Media/trends that are relevant to the shopper
- Specific shopper insights gained from interactions with the app, the
protection plan “locker” and tech support
USER SCENARIO 7: MOMENTS OF DELIGHT
How do we unexpectedly brighten our shopper’s
day?
• Develop some random delight for the shoppers, which ties
back into the Protection and Tech Support experience.
