Improvements in technology drive innovation in many fields, and there are few arenas where these efforts are as visible as in the customer experience. The emerging tools and techniques for customer teams provide new, insightful avenues for interaction, but are still grounded in the concept of tying a brand to a positive, happy experience.
Customers notice details, either when they are particularly good or particularly bad, so it is always in a company’s best interest to make sure they are innovating in the right way. Here are seven ways technology will aid companies in creating — and taking advantage of — compelling experiences for their customers in 2018:

In today’s global marketplace, it’s not enough to just have a digital presence. To capitalize on opportunity and captivate real, live, human readers, an optimized, functional, interactive website is a must. Unfortunately, the Internet is swarming with poor website designs that miss both the technical and content mark. Worse yet, clients and developers alike continuously contribute to the current outbreak of design delinquency in equal measure.

Technology has produced huge breakthroughs in design. A product can be ideated, prototyped and finalized with little more than a keyboard and code. But the ingenuity of modern design often leads to product teams neglecting the basics.

Customer-feedback surveys are everywhere: at the bottom of cash-register receipts, at the end of phone calls with customer-service reps, and clogging the email inbox. Recently, I saw an electronic touch screen in an airport bathroom, soliciting my impression of cleanliness.
This barrage underscores the importance that many companies now place on customer experience. But it has diminishing returns, as many people don’t want to answer more surveys. No wonder that response rates have been declining for years. Yet without feedback, how can companies keep in touch with their customers’ needs and priorities?

Capturing and using customer feedback effectively is essential for growing businesses. Smart companies will use the insights they get from customers in a number of ways; from fixing holes in marketing campaigns to informing product messaging and even developing and co-creating new products. Exploring human reactions and thoughts about your products or services is essential if you are to maintain brand relevance. If you don’t have a collection of customer feedback methods, you won’t be able to use it to help further the aspirations of your brand. Although some ways of attaining such data are tried, tested and traditional, businesses are now finding that modern technology is giving them the upper hand. To keep up with evolving market trends, make sure you take note of these foolproof tips.

Many would say Toys R’ Us failed because of financial mismanagement and delusions of grandeur. That’s true.
But it also failed because it didn’t value the opinions of its customers. It didn’t listen to what customers wanted quickly enough, and by the time they acknowledged the problem, it was too late.
Customers needs and wants were evolving with technology. They wanted speed and accessibility online. They wanted great customer interactions and experiences in the stores, and they wanted an emotional connection to the brands they support.
