Product experience: definition, importance and examples

What is product experience?

Product experience refers to all the emotions, sensations, and perceptions that a user feels when discovering, purchasing, and using a product. It encompasses both functional aspects (quality, ergonomics, performance) and emotional aspects (design, packaging, storytelling), and directly influences customer satisfaction and loyalty.

‍

A successful product experience begins with the first interaction, which is often digital: clear product information, high-resolution images, accurate descriptions, and authentic customer reviews play a key role. For example, a consumer discovering a smartphone online will expect detailed technical information, demonstration videos, and comparisons to guide their choice. Once the product is in their hands, its packaging, ease of use, and durability reinforce or alter that experience.
