In response to consumer preferences for tangible product experiences, Blibli Elektronik has introduced interactive in-store demonstrations. This strategic move acknowledges that despite the growing trend of online shopping, 55% of Indonesian consumers still prefer visiting physical stores to test electronic products before making a purchase decision 1
The decision-making process for electronics purchases typically begins online, with consumers researching through various digital channels such as video reviews, price comparisons on marketplaces, and social media discussions. However, when it comes to finalizing purchases, particularly for long-term use devices, consumers seek physical verification of product quality. Aspects such as device weight, material quality, button responsiveness, and machine noise levels become crucial considerations.
The need for direct product experience is particularly evident in household electronics. Consumers want to personally assess features like the sound quality of air purifiers, the comfort of using rice cookers, or the suction power of wireless vacuums. Even details such as product color and dimensions are better appreciated in person. This behavior reflects a broader consumer desire to minimize purchase risks associated with significant investments in electronic products that are typically used for years.
To meet these consumer needs, Blibli Elektronik has developed stores featuring interactive demonstration areas where customers can directly test various electronic devices. From evaluating screen display and sound quality to testing kitchen appliance performance, the hands-on experience enables more informed purchasing decisions. The strategic location of these stores near residential areas further enhances accessibility for customers seeking household electronics.
Blibli Elektronik's approach includes offering original products with secure and easy transaction processes, thereby eliminating common concerns associated with online electronics shopping. By combining physical store experiences with digital convenience, the retailer creates a comprehensive shopping environment that addresses both product quality concerns and transactional security.
