We use various approaches, from surveys to focus groups and customer interviews, to analyse customer data across platforms to create a strategy that aligns with your business objectives and achieves your long-term goals. 

Here are the steps we take to get creating the right customer experience strategy for you: 

Step 1: Understand your customers  

The first step to creating a successful CX strategy is to deeply understand your customers – who they are, what they want, and how they interact with your brand. 

Some helpful ways to get to know your customers:

• Using online tools or email surveys, you can easily gather your customer’s feedback on their experience with your brand. Ask questions about their likes, dislikes, and areas for improvement. 
• Get your customers together for focus groups and discuss their experiences with your brand. 
• Examine your data from your website and social media channels to gain insight into customer behaviour

Step 2: Define Your CX Vision. 

Once you understand your customers, you can begin to define your CX vision; at this stage, you should outline the overall experience you want to provide your customers and make it specific, measurable, and achievable. 

Here are some tips for defining your CX vision: 

• Consider the ideal experience you want to provide your customers rather than specific tactics or technologies. 
• Your CX vision should be measurable, so you can track progress and identify areas for improvement. 
• Get input from all key stakeholders in your organisation, including marketing, sales, and customer service. 

Step 3: Identify Customer Touchpoints. 

The next step is to identify the key customer touchpoints or specific interactions with your brand, including visiting your website to speak with customer service. 

To identify your touchpoints: 

• Start by mapping out the different stages your customers go through. 
• Create a visual representation of the customer journey, highlighting the touchpoints at each stage. 
• Ask your customers to provide feedback on their experience at each touchpoint so that you can identify areas for improvement. 

Step 4: Prioritise Improvements  

Once you have identified areas for improvement, you need to prioritise them based on their impact on the customer experience. 

Here are some tips for prioritising improvements: 

• Focus on quick wins: Start with slight improvements, to build momentum and show progress. 
• Prioritise high-impact changes: Identify changes impacting the customer experience and focus on those first. 
• Consider your resource requirements: Make sure you have the time, budget, and people to execute each change.

Step 5: Implement Changes  

After you have identified and prioritised areas for improvement, you can begin to change your CX,

Some ways to begin are to: 

• Before rolling out changes to your entire customer base, test them with a small group of customers to ensure they work as intended. 
• Let your customers know about your changes and how they will benefit. 
• Use website analytics, customer satisfaction surveys, and customer feedback to track the success of each change over time. 

Step 6: Monitor and Measure  

Finally, you need to monitor and measure the effectiveness of your CX strategy. Identify areas that are working well and areas that need further improvement.  

Here’s how to easily monitor and measure: 

• Use analytics tools to help you track key metrics such as website traffic, bounce, and conversion rates. 
• Leverage social media platforms to monitor and respond to real-time customer feedback. 
• Conduct A/B testing to identify your CX strategy’s most compelling elements. 
• Set measurable goals to help you track your success.  
• Regularly review and modify based on your customer feedback, market trends, and technological transformations.
