Customer journey mapping is one of the foundations of building a seamless customer experience. It’s generally agreed that providing a great customer experience improves retention, encourages loyalty and increases both purchase frequency and average spend from engaged customers.
But, customer journeys are hardly static. And when it comes to digital communication, customer expectations move really quickly.
How customers view their interaction with your brand is no longer compared to your direct competitors, but rather, to any and all brands that they interact with digitally. With so many players in the digital field, changes in the customer’s expectation of how, when and why they engage can quickly push you down the scoreboard.
Our expert’s opinion:
Through regular assessments of the most significant digital touch points in your customer journey maps, you can identify expectation gaps and focus your enhancement efforts for maximum impact.
When planning an assessment:
- Be clear on the objective
- Include all business areas responsible for managing customer touch points
- Always assess digital communication from the customer’s viewpoint
- Avoid being constrained by internal operations and technology limitations
- Prioritize the most important digital touch points
The output of this assessment is a project scope that enables you to focus on achieving quick fixes within your broader CX enhancement strategy.
