Experience Maps and the Mapping Process
Experience maps are graphical representations of the interactions individuals have with a product or service. They’re an effective tool for developing empathy and understanding for your target audience by highlighting their thoughts, feelings, and actions as they seek to accomplish a task, like applying to your institution or donating to the annual fund.
Applications in Education
An experience map can be a powerful tool for:
- Relating web content to different parts of the prospective undergraduate student journey.
- Uncovering gaps in communications with admitted graduate students.
- Finding opportunities to provide helpful guides to prospective international students.
- Discovering storytelling opportunities to potential annual fund donors.
