Foviance Corners the Market on New Slots Technology
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010As a testament to where the market is going and how it is heading towards technology-based industries, a new company has cropped up. It is called Foviance. Foviance is a hi-tech research company that specializes in examining the user experience of online surfers. Among other things, the company has managed to develop a special technology that identifies the subconscious decisions made by gamblers at online casinos. Emotional Engagement Measurement is one of the elements to the company’s offering. EEM is what tells them why online customers do what they do. It’s an interesting science that the company does—they help online entities know their customers better and, for lack of a better term, manipulate them more easily.
By looking into subconscious behavior, Foviance helps companies improve the experiences of their online visitors and clients. The system involves measuring five levels of emotional engagement. The five levels are visual attention, cognitive attention, emotional engagement, emotional attraction and apprehension excitement. Put together each one tells a different story on how well a client likes a website and how willing he or she will be to buy the product or service it is offering. Catriona Campbell, the founder of Foviance, said, “It is no longer sufficient to create websites which are just easy to use, or have value for money products associated with them. Websites need to appeal to the subconscious; to engage with consumers at an emotional level. At Foviance we have proven with a number of brands that this holds true for websites. Using our neuro-technology to have a deeper understanding of the emotional facet of the customer experience, we have found we can deliver insight that other methods previously haven’t.”
In today’s competitive market, Foviance is offering a valuable service. It does research and then lets developers and designers know what specific visuals, sounds and activities will spur a customer on into making a purchase. It’s critical information when it comes to gaining users and bringing back customers. Having a competitive edge of knowing a customer better and being able to create more value for them, is crucial in today’s market. Foviance is poised on bringing a new understanding of the customer to the business market.
