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.

The fight for customer loyalty is fierce these days and with the ever increasing focus, many brands are taking a closer look at how they can compete to win the heart-share, mind-share, and of course, “purse-share” of their audiences. As they focus on elevating their customer experiences and finding their advantages in an ever more competitive marketplace, several businesses look to data—such as customer feedback—to help them in the battle of customer attraction, retention, and recommendation.

There’s no shortage of stories about how millennials are carving their path through the workforce, to how they’re influencing tech, and their impact on the economy.
Over the past several years, we’ve seen a steady rise in what’s been dubbed the “experience economy” and this can certainly be attributed to the buying power of millennials. Millennials are known for doing things a little differently and how they shop is certainly no exception.

Microsoft principal founder Bill Gates once said, “If your business is not on the internet, then your business will be out of business.” That statement certainly made a lot of sense when the famous philanthropist and business magnate utter those words in the 90s.

Mobile apps have become the bread and butter for many digital marketers. This is mostly credited to the fact that a quality mobile app has the potential to promote and grow your business tremendously. It can open new channels of revenue, introduce you to new marketing strategies (e.g. location tracking), give you the opportunity to provide more modern social media campaigns and of course, enable you to focus more on user experience. However, as the famous Rocky Balboa (yes, I’m a fan) puts it, ‘it ain’t all sunshines and rainbows’. Developing a successful mobile app can be a demanding task that requires a lot of thought and understanding of what the customer needs. So what better way to explore what the customer needs than to ask them directly? Customer feedback makes that all too simple.

With the confidence of a seasoned pundit never held to account for his transgressions, I managed to get some readers lathered up about the future-state of AI tech affecting customer experience (CX), marketing, and sales efforts. Looking back, it’s surprising the authorities didn’t indict me as a co-conspirator in various AI hype-crimes.
