It’s been stated that customer experience is the new brand, but what about the visual customer experience? Constant online interaction and social media engagement has piqued our need for visual stimulation and trained us to assimilate more imagery than ever before. And we’ve extended these expectations to eCommerce. We call this new reality “ the visual economy ,” and in it, product imagery and interaction along the purchase journey is as important to consumers as the product itself.

As a customer experience leader, you need to have a good understanding of your organization’s culture. The culture is defined by actions, not words. It is consistent behaviors that give people direction on what to “model.” It’s decisions made and actions taken that prove that the customer commitment is real and not lip service.

After all, sales sets the stage for the entire customer journey. Sales is where current challenges are discussed and in turn, promises are made.

People know an expensive brand when they see one. They also can spot a discount retailer at fifteen paces. So, why do they get it wrong so often? They get it wrong because of a concept called Price Image.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Loyalty is hard to understand and even harder to achieve. For me, I can only think of two brands I’m truly loyal to, Nike and SWAT Health (my gym). And, when I say loyal, I actually am. I don’t wear Adidas anymore. In fact, I gave away my Ultra Boosts because I only align myself with Nike. As for exercising, sure I go to the occasional Barry’s Bootcamp but I wouldn’t allow anyone else to train me other than the trainers at SWAT Health.
