Customers are the most important cog in your business. Without them, you don’t have a business. But, despite all the tools we have today to create emotion-rich experiences for buyers, many marketers still struggle to understand their customers and what they really want. This just doesn’t cut it any more, particularly when consumers are actively seeking out connections with the brands they purchase from rather than one-off buying frenzies.

Understanding customers, discovering and managing their behaviours have been hot topics in marketing for a long time. However, customer experience is still a new notion to many.

Remember when you used to rely solely on search engines for traffic? Remember when you worked on SEO and lived and died by your placement in Google? Were you #1? Assured success. Well, okay, maybe not assured. Success only came if the keywords were relevant to your site users, but it was the only real roadmap to generating site traffic and revenue. Today, we live in a different world. We diversify. We use AdWords and Bing Ads. We create identities across social platforms, and we promote via Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. No longer are sites living and dying by their Google Rankings. Organic is no longer one of the cool kids. Organic is passé. Or is it?

-Your customer service team can use them to make customers happier and more satisfied.

Ever been put into a position where an online customer is asking you a question about a specific issue and he presumes you can pick up where your colleague left off? Meanwhile you have no prior knowledge of the matter and no documentation to refer to for checking the status of the issue? I think you can see where I’m going with this – this is obviously not an ideal situation to be in, for both you OR your customer.

Data is the secret ingredient to an online sellers’ sustained success.
Every business has access to data—but it’s what you do with it that sets you aside from the rest. The data from customer experience, in particular, has come to the fore of every business in recent years. It acts as the foundation of customer success and loyalty because it can transform the service you offer.
