It’s common sense, of course - every single interaction your customers have with your company will influence their opinion of you, and in turn will influence your brand positively or negatively. That overall experience will guide the customer’s decision to return to you and it will improve the likelihood of them providing referrals that will lead to even more business for your company.

You've got great products. You've got competitive prices. You've got lovable ads. But unless your customer experience is exceptional, you aren't going to get ahead in 2020.
Remember, research giant Walker predicted seven years ago that CX would overtake price and product as the primary brand differentiator by 2020. With 2020 here, it's time to plan a final CX push. If fast growth is your goal, CX is your route to getting there.

High passenger volume, the heightened emotions of customers who are eager to reach their destinations, and rampant competition mean patience is limited and the risk of churn is high. Considering that more than two-thirds of companies compete primarily on the basis of customer experience, it’s critical that companies in these industries continue delivering exceptional experiences despite the busyness of the holidays.
