In the rush to offer “digital-first” technologies for customer interactions, many companies are falling short. One extreme example comes to mind: A company was experiencing a significant rate of abandonment for the mobile surveys opened by its customers. It turned out the first screen had three paragraphs of legal disclaimers that customers had to click through to get to the survey. Most of them just gave up.

In 2012, just about the time people started putting the word digital and the word experience together, Michael Hinshaw, then CEO of San Francisco-based McorpCX – now its president, described digital experience as the following. “Digital experience, isn’t an IT-driven initiative; it’s a customer-needs driven initiative," he wrote in an opinion piece for Adobe owned CMO.

A strong customer experience is the best way for retailers to cultivate positive consumer opinion. While that may seem turnkey, consumers’ expectations are constantly rising; no longer can a brand provide the best customer experience within their industry – the experience must transcend through verticals and be the best ever, period.

Is customer experience an important search engine ranking factor? There are a number of different factors that go into how a website will rank on Google. For example, one is the number of links pointing at your site, and another is the makeup of the keywords that you choose to put on your page. But these are only two, and there are a whole range of other factors that determine how your site is going to rank for a certain keyword.
One of these other factors is customer experience, and this factor is very important for a number of reasons.

For many (really many) years now we’ve been talking about the disconnect with the customer. And the need to reconnect with the customer as the effects of a perfect storm – that’s been in the make for decades – started being felt.
The disconnect between what we believe as businesses to be valuable for customers and what customers – people – see as valuable. The signs, research and impact are known since so long. Just take the famous customer experience delivery gap I mentioned here.

Halloween is slowly creeping up on us. There’s that subtle hint of pumpkin spice lingering in the air, costumes filling up all of the party stores and of course, the most quintessential Halloween movie, Hocus Pocus has taken up the number one spot on Netflix. With all of this Halloween fever around us, we simply couldn’t resist adding a little Halloween ‘flair’ to our blog. So – in light of the holiday – we want to emphasize several ways online feedback can prevent your customers from having a ‘scary’ customer experience!
But before we begin, it’s important that you become acquainted with the most common ‘horrors’ (or irritations) that online customers often encounter; horrors that can tarnish the customer experience and ultimately (if not resolved), put these customers off to your brand...

Is there such a thing as “digital customer experience” and even a “social customer experience”? Yes and no. We can look at the overall customer experience in the context of digital touchpoints. We can look at individual experiences across digital touchpoints and interactions. Yet, at the same time, it’s important to remember that the customer is not just a digital customer (as in using lots of digital channels and touchpoints).
