The norm nowadays is consumers expect exceptional experiences. That outlook comes on the heels of business pacesetters like Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Zoom, along with other category leaders, building strong business models around customer experience best practices.
The outcomes of this digital effort are personalized interfaces across channels and devices—all bestowed with ease and speed.
As a business leader, you may not embrace this as a revenue-driver or key differentiator for your organization.
But think for a moment: How often have you decided to use an online service or buy from an online company, because of a seamless customer experience across physical and digital channels?
Dialing in Digital CX
Without doubt, positive experiences equate to positive perceptions of both product and company.
Not to mention, there’s the reward of loyalty and word of mouth referrals. That’s why organizations emphasize a robust digital customer experience.
Consider that companies implementing a digital customer experience report that they:
- On average, are 60% more profitable than their competitors.
- Have dedicated budgets for automating their customer experience to enhance customer insights.
- Were three times more likely to achieve their goals in 2019. (Econsultancy)
- Know 60% of loyalty is based on customer experience, not brand or price. (Gartner)
- Understand two-thirds of consumers find a positive brand experience more influential in their buying decisions than great advertising. (PwC)
- Make artificial intelligence a high priority, and 36% are already using it to improve the customer experience. (Econsultancy)
- Are nine times likely to integrate data from multiple sources, analyze customer interactions across channels, and engage customers across channels to boost the customer experience. (Pointillist)
- Invest in truly understanding consumers via customer data platforms and real-time decision engines. (Pega)
Here are two infographics that illustrate how consumers react to positive digital customer experiences.
