Physical evidence includes the tangible components of a service such as the facilities, equipment, and communications materials. It specifically refers to the servicescape, which is the physical environment where the service is delivered and the customer interacts with the business. Servicescapes can be elaborate or lean depending on their complexity and whether they are designed for customer self-service, remote service, or interpersonal service. The servicescape impacts customer and employee behaviors and perceptions through its ambient conditions, space/function, and signs/symbols. Physical evidence must be strategically designed and updated to support the business goals and facilitate the service process.
Physical evidence plays a strategic role in services marketing by packaging the service, facilitating the service process, socializing employees and customers, and providing a means for differentiation. The development of servicescapes uses physical evidence to design the service environment through ambient conditions, space and function layout, and signs, symbols and artifacts. The stimulus-organism-response model shows how physical stimuli influence customer responses through their perceptions and internal reactions. Firms must consider sight, sound, scent, touch, and taste appeals when designing their service atmosphere and physical evidence to meet the needs of high versus low customer contact businesses.
