In today’s omni-channel world, consumers shop using multiple devices, touchpoints, and channels, ultimately choosing their own preferred path to purchase.
A typical digital journey today could start with a consumer researching a purchase on their smartphone, then continuing later on a laptop or tablet. They might visit your site after engaging with your search ad and ask your chatbot some initial questions. They might call your business a few days later after getting one of your emails and finalize their purchase in person at your closest brick-and-mortar location.

Isn’t it remarkable how things we learn at one point in our life come back to us as welcome gifts later?
Early in my career, I wrote a book about helping children develop humor skills (Humor, Play and Laughter – Stress-proofing life with your kids). I became a student on the topic because I wanted my children to learn how to constructively use humor to take themselves and the world around them less seriously. More importantly, I wanted them to develop an ability to manage frustration and diffuse conflict.

Branding started out as a concept or a thought to build in a customer’s head. But, along with technological advancements, that has changed. We live in an age of social media and advanced technology where customer experience has turned into branding. So, it is no longer about building perception about customer’s mind. Almost every company has delved deep into the customer experience business.

It’s a universally acknowledged fact that technology has influenced every aspect of human life, specifically over the last few years.
This stands unambiguously true for travel industry. Remember the time when a "things‐to‐pack" list used to be very extensive ‐ camera, film rolls, Walkman, copies of important documents, maps, dictionary, etc. All these things can be carried in one tiny device called smartphone now!

They just crave an experience that gets their job done quick and fast. And they want it now.

Almost every retailer out there will tell you they need to be more innovative, and that this is hard. Retail has long been an industry focused on buying low, selling high, and optimizing everything in between. Shifting to meet an expectation of providing content, services, experience, engagement and more – this is a big shift, and not easily accomplished. Some retailers – vertically integrated brands, or those with private label merchandise – might be good at product innovation, but that is a far cry from process innovation – and that is a large part of what retailers need right now, as they try to make the shift to be more relevant to consumers.

I'm struck by how little actual experience most businesses allow into their customer experiences–how ho-hum and transactional they’re willing to let life be for their customers. That this is true even now, in spite of the recent upswing of interest in our discipline (I'm a customer experience consultant) continues to surprise me.
