To stay relevant today, brands must look beyond the 4Ps of marketing (place, price, promotion and product) and consider how they can better satisfy customers’ needs and expectations.
In addition to generating positive word-of-mouth and improving brand image, customer experience (CX) now plays a vital role in attracting and retaining customers. According to an Accenture report, almost half of Singaporeans (48 percent) are frustrated with companies that fail to deliver relevant, personalised shopping experiences. Among these consumers, 45 percent will choose to switch companies. This highlights an urgency for brands to improve CX. How, then, can brands ensure that they are truly differentiated from their competitors?

In today’s Internet-driven world, customers have more power than ever.
If customers have a positive customer experience, they will share this experience with friends, family and connections, which in turn can lead to new business. All at zero cost.
But what happens if you fail to provide a positive customer experience?

When you use the phrase “capturing the voice of the customer”, many immediately think you’re referencing a survey designed for direct feedback. But today there are more channels than ever for the customer to engage with brands. Although survey feedback can be nicely packaged and easy to digest, it’s important to make sure you’re listening to customers in all of the many ways they give feedback.

Customer feedback is a vital part of customer journey mapping and improving the customer experience.
Negative feedback highlights where you need to improve and positive feedback helps to understand which elements to amplify.
We teamed up with Dan Moross, the Director of Customer Experience at MOO, to put together a guide on how you can improve the quantity and quality of feedback from your customers and how you can use it to enhance their experience with your brand.

Customer engagement has evolved to encompass much more than enticing shoppers into your store with flashy signs and gimmicks to encourage them to spend more. In an increasingly omnichannel and mobile retail world, the potential for customer engagement has expanded to channels outside the four walls of your brick-and-mortar store.

Digital channels like social media, your website and email marketing are ways you can connect with your customers even when they’re not right in front of you. In fact, 15 years ago consumers averaged just two touchpoints when buying an item. Today, the average is six. Although technology has helped increase the reach of your brand, it’s still up to you to deliver valuable content and a positive customer experience at every one of those touchpoints.

Predicting the future is tough, so we decided to talk those who are shaping it. Dave Fish, founder of CuriosityCX and Michigan State University visiting lecturer partnered with Brian Keehner of the Michigan State master of science in marketing research program to interview more than a dozen of the sharpest technology minds from global enterprise feedback management firms to get their take on the future.
What are some of the big strategic bets the major players are making in the CX space? There was quite a bit of agreement, but also some noticeable divergence on the vision for the future. That spanned from data collection and ingestion, all the way to how to help clients take action. Here are the six key discussion points from our conversation.

Bad or non-existent customer service is proven to cost more than sustainable customer experience management practices. Just look at the statistics:
+After a bad experience with a company, 22% of consumers decreased their spending and 19% completely stopped doing business with a company.
+ Compared to detractors, promoters are 4.2X more likely to buy again and 5.6X more likely to forgive a company after a mistake.
Sound impressive? It does to me. But in spite of this data, only 11% of large companies have strong customer experience programs, and 62% of companies cite inaction on customer experience (CX) metrics as their key problem.

If you are not focused on receiving and using customer feedback, you are missing out on an amazing growth tool. Gathering feedback throughout the entire customer journey is of great importance to the buyer life cycle, marketing campaigns and the entire customer experience. Integrating your CRM and customer feedback could be the secret to your success.
According to a recent study, 86 percent of buyers will pay more for a better customer experience. And by 2020, customer experience will overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator. How do you get the best experience? By listening to the customer, of course.

In your quest to consistently deliver remarkable customer experiences, an important question will often pop up: How do you know if something is remarkable?
Sure, you have your own internal standards of what "good" looks like within your company. Ultimately, however, your customers will have the final say as to whether or not a product, service, or experience is swoon-worthy.
As such, it's good practice to get comfortable with experimenting and trying different approaches until you find the essential elements that wow your customers over and over again.
