Alpharooms is one of the UK’s leading websites for discount hotels and flights, offering deals to over 220,000 properties around the world. Online travel bookings has largely become a commoditised marketplace that relies heavily on paid acquisition. Therefore price becomes a major factor in winning business – but in a market this big, no one can win on price all the time. Consequently, businesses need to generate value outside price and deliver a superior customer experience if they want to win market share.

With rising customer expectations, the need to deliver an exceptional customer experience (CX) is at an all-time high. And frankly, the best way to achieve this superior level of CX is to visualise it – which is often done using a process called customer journey mapping. A customer journey map essentially tells the story of the customer’s experience – which starts at the initial point of contact all the way through to a long-term relationship – giving us critical information about key interactions along the way. For this process to be a successful one and because it can be quite complex, many business seek the assistance of customer journey mapping tools.

In a recent market analysis from UBS, retail was ranked among the top industries predicted to be most impacted by artificial intelligence (AI) in the years to come. In fact, analysts have estimated that global retailer spending on AI will reach $7.3 billion per year by 2022, up from just $2 billion in 2019.
When it comes to where this money will be spent in the coming years, the majority of it is expected to be used to better the customer experience (CX), including everything from personalization to customer service. It’s an essential area to invest in given one in three (30 percent) consumers would post a negative review online or to social media if they received poor customer support, proving the need for enhanced CX to maintain customer loyalty, and even gain new shoppers. Brands are still just beginning to untangle the many advantages of using AI in retail, so let’s explore how AI can transform the customer experience.

The case for capturing, understanding and acting on the Voice of the Customer (VoC) is well documented. It’s a powerful driver for change, and helps to create differentiation in competitive markets. You’ve mapped your customer journey, defined key touchpoints, identified the channels through which to gather feedback and you are taking action based on the insights rolling in. Fantastic.
But are you still missing something?

Does Customer Experience matter more for B2C companies (business to consumer) or B2B (business to business)? The answer is they both matter equally. The reason is because people buy from people. B2B buyers are behaving like consumers more than ever before. Though CX methodologies differ, the principles and best practices are similar and it’s important to apply them to B2B and to B2C.

A key aspect of optimizing your customer experience is creating a consumer-centric mindset both in your organization and throughout the buying process. Doing this well requires listening to the way consumers are talking about your brand and its products or services, as well as their needs and requirements, commonly referred to as the voice of the customer, or VOC.
In order to better understand how to use VOC and the types of feedback that your customers are providing, let’s divide it into three unique aspects, each with their own distinct attributes and value to an organization. In the work I do with clients at Yes&, all three of these facets are used to form a cohesive picture of what a customer needs, what their experience has been and how they are feeling about a brand.

Great customer experience in today’s business landscape begins with understanding what customers expect and demand from interactions with your brand. Taking a customer-centric mindset to CX means first listening to what customers have to say and then acting on their preferences and aversions. The voice of the customer (or VOC) consists of three distinct types of customer feedback: direct, inferred, and third-party.
