Customer experience:
Redesigning Your Customer Journey

Over the past few years, consumer habits and needs have changed. Dozens of new features have been released on social media, new technologies have appeared, Click and Collect has become more widespread, live shopping has boomed, generating thousands of social commerce sales…

Internet users are more and more connected and expect greater transparency and direct contact with brands. They are also more mindful of peer recommendations: 71% of customers share a review to inform other consumers and 58% are motivated to share their experience with the brand (source: Net Reviews by SKEEPERS, 2022). Brands must adapt to these changes and engage their customers to strengthen their relationship and significantly improve the customer experience.

  • What is the Customer Experience and What is its Purpose?

    “Customer experience refers to the impressions and emotions a customer feels before, during and after the purchase of a product or service. It is the result of all a customer’s interactions with a brand or company. ” (Source: Definition-marketing.com)

     

    To satisfy your customers, you need to work on your customer experience at every stage of the customer journey and at every touchpoint.

     

    The customer experience can be constantly improved by adapting to your customers’ evolving needs. Delivering a memorable customer experience will help boost your conversion rate, build loyalty and improve your online reputation.

  • Why and how can you optimize your customer experience?

    The answer is simple: your customers are your best partners and brand ambassadors.

     

    You need their feedback to grow and to meet their expectations. Co-construction is therefore key to optimizing the customer experience, which will in turn attract new leads and increase your revenue! Don’t forget that customer loyalty is paramount!

     

    Follow these 3 steps to optimize your customer experience:

    • Create a customer experience program.
    • Implement a Voice of the Customer process.
    • Integrate a customer feedback collection solution to your CRM.

Two innovative solutions to optimize your customer experience

Redesigning the customer experience is a major challenge for a lot of companies! Which is why SKEEPERS has developed two useful SaaS solutions to help you save time when collecting feedback and launching one-to-one marketing campaigns:

Customer Data Activation

Deliver personalized content to the right audience through the channels of their choice, enhancing customer relationships, conversion rates, campaign effectiveness, and brand value.

Feedback Management

Collect customer feedback with smart surveys at every stage of the customer journey from researching and buying to the post-purchase experience.

  • Create a seamless customer experience

    Traditional customer journeys have been turned upside down by companies’ accelerated digitalization. Customer journeys have become hybrid, meaning that they are constantly evolving and seamlessly combine digital and physical touchpoints. A seamless experience is every customer experience manager’s dream! It is a smooth, perfect, omnichannel experience, and one of their main objectives.

  • Leverage Customer Experience Managers

    Is customer experience one of your key issues today? Why not employ a Customer Experience Manager, to redesign it and make you stand out? These experts know how to identify areas for improvement and try to better understand and reassure customers throughout their journey with your brand. Their scope is wide, depending on your objectives, such as implementing a Voice of the Customer program, creating customer interactions, steering action plans and measuring customer experience management.

  • Leverage artificial intelligence

    Providing your employees with up-to-date and complete customer data so that they can implement relevant and targeted marketing actions for each customer is a must. Artificial intelligence allows you to meet this challenge by reinventing the customer experience. Chatbots are the perfect example of customer experience AI. Chatbots enable brands to respond to customers in an automated way or to put them in contact with an operator. According to a study by ’Enghouse Interactive, 95% of customer interactions by 2025 will be handled by AI.

    26%

    In 2020, mobile e-commerce sales grew by 26% to reach 338 billion dollars. In 2019, revenues were only 269 billion dollars and 207.15 billion dollars in 2018.
