Finding it hard to keep your brand in good shape? Is your current marketing regime failing to deliver the gains you anticipated? Perhaps a bit of AI is just what you need... It has long been considered that customer churn is a painful reality of doing business. That used to be true, but nowadays it can be avoided.
A lot of brands out there are obsessed with measuring their performance by way of customer surveys. Quick question: do you suffer from ‘survey fatigue’? If your answer is ‘yes’, you can guarantee your consumers do too.
It’s just plain lazy to ask the customer about their experience when the brand already has that information buried deep within its own systems – and frankly, a little insulting. Is the customer’s time somehow less valuable? Customer feedback definitely has a role to play, but it should be part of a bigger picture.

Most marketers believe their brands need a customer-centric business model in order to succeed, and that optimising the customer experience is the biggest priority for the profession.

Are you struggling to get user feedback for your product or service? Maybe you haven’t even considered that you should be gathering user feedback? If you fall into either of those categories, you’ve come to the right place. A review and feedback are not the same things. Sure, you might have some glowing 5-star reviews for your business but what are they telling you?

When it comes to the retail customer experience, creating and developing a seamless CX isn't just a focal point for the big brand names and national retailers. It's also a must for the smaller and mid-size retailer.
Yet oftentimes the SMB retail operator doesn't have a tremendous budget or internal resources to take on the crucial CX effort and it can sometimes fall into the cracks within the day-to-day operations of running a small retail shop.
But as one expert shares, that doesn't have to be the scenario as developing a rewarding retail customer experience doesn't necessarily equate to spending thousands, hiring on staff or contracting out for services.
One of the best, and quickest, approaches is understanding that a customer experience does not end once the purchase transaction has ended, according to Pam Slim, author, consultant and small business expert.
