Customer Journey Mapping
From new normals to new behaviors, the pandemic has impacted the customer experience. Customer journey mapping provides brands real insight into how customer journeys are changing.
Stand in your customer’s shoes. A customer journey map provides an accurate, 360-degree experience a customer has with your brand. It visually illustrates:
1 A customer’s needs
2The series of interactions that fulfill those needs
3The emotional states experienced
According to Forrester Research: “The coronavirus pandemic has reordered the importance of individual journeys. Mapping helps CX teams prioritize which journeys need to be created, accelerated, or put on the back burner.”
Learn how customer journey mapping helped one of the largest banks in the U.S. increase online account openings by 54%.
