DESCRIPTION

Much has been written in the business press about the imperative to optimize the customer experience. Too often, the advice is buried beneath technical jargon and needless complexity, rendering it useless. This presentation takes a different approach by illustrating some specific examples of everyday customer experiences gone right and wrong, and examining the elements that contributed to their success or failure. We are all customers. Those of us who are also marketers must learn from our personal customer experiences and bring a dose of common sense to the marketing strategies we are responsible for creating. Note that this content is not intended to serve as a standalone presentation, but rather a set of props to help illustrate the customer experience stories. There are two embedded YouTube videos in the presentation.

Customer Experience Summary

Requires both intention and ability Requires active listening and ability to

sense and respond Even better: anticipation …but don’t be creepy (see Pizza Palace) Brands no longer have total control over

the customer experience Angry customers are very vocal 36 cents can go a long way
