We start 2018 facing an experience gap – that’s to say a gap between what customers need from their experiences with brands and organisations and the quality of the experience that they actually receive. Improvement of customer experiences stalled from 2016 to 2017 in many markets. Despite talk, action and investment in VOC & CEM programmes, few companies are making any headway in responding to customers’ journey needs and experiences for customer have become ‘average’ at best.

In the fashion world new styles are always popping up, supplanting the mainstays in a constantly evolving organic life cycle. To be successful in this environment, industry leaders need to consistently understand how customers are perceiving their ideas and then be able to act on this information. This same philosophy should be applied to brands hoping to improve their Customer Experience, because customer preferences are constantly shifting. The ability to stay up-to-date and produce a modern Customer Experience can be a differentiator for brands hoping to form lifetime relationships with the population they serve.

Whether you’ve just launched your website or you’re in the process of improving the online customer experience, customer feedback will serve as an invaluable tool in achieving your business’ goals.
