The experience
at the moment of leaving

What the customer notices when they leave

​​​​Why observe

When the customer leaves, the service has already ended.

But the experience has not.

For a few moments, the customer is still in the space.

It is in this interval that certain things become visible.

​​​​

The look

- Whether someone notices the customer leaving


- How the path to the exit presents itself


- What happens after payment

​​

​​​​

In everyday work

The customer heads toward the exit.

They may be noticed or not.
There may be a goodbye, or silence.

The final contact happens. Or it does not.

This moment lasts only a few seconds.
But it defines how the experience ends.

✧✧✧

 

​​​​

What to observe

​​

Is the customer’s departure noticed?

Is there any gesture of farewell?​

Does the service end with clarity?

✧✧✧

​​

A question to keep with you

How does the experience end for someone who is leaving?
