DfC Cologne: Third case study by Coop Switzerland

Platinum sponsor and case-owner Coop Switzerland
Coop is a large retail corporation, offering everything you need for a living: grocery stores, hardware stores, pharmacies, restaurants, banking, fuel stops – you need it, Coop offers it. Besides beeing omnipresent in Switzerland, they really take a lead in social responsibility and sustainability. Starting with fitting product lines going over to employee care and ending with many projects to preserve swiss cultural heritage and nature. They never said it this way, but the: “Don’t be evil”, fits them quite well. You can expect a case study that brings Coop’s engagement and the DfC’s main theme “authenticity” together. And no, it won’t be optimizing the conversion in their online store – think more strategic.
DfC Cologne – First case-owners are XING and Greenpeace!
It really took a while, but we’re very happy to announce, that two of our cases for the Design for Conversion Cologne will be from XING and Greenpeace Germany!

We have a theme! DfC Cologne will be about authenticity.
We’ve talked alot in the last weeks if the 4th Design for Conversion needs a theme or if we should keep it more general, as it is the first DfC in Germany. Well, looks like we finally decided to have a theme: authenticity!
Authenticity is something really funny. Ask this existentialists like Sartre. For now and for the DfC we don’t need to dive too deep into philosophy: You’re authentic if you’re honest and truthful about yourself – know who you are, don’t lie about it, be reliable and trustworthy.

Marketers don’t think in a well-reasoned or rational way
I guess it’s no news that consumers don’t think in a well-reasoned or rational way. Clear examples of this are the paradox of choice and the work of Dan Ariely. So I won’t dig deeper in that marketing fallacy (for now).
