Retailers know very well that this is the time of year to roll up their sleeves, get out of their comfort zone, and start thinking strategically about how to make the most of the upcoming holiday shopping season. But if you're looking to evaluate how well your business is capitalizing on this season, the real test will only come next year — when you start to see whether your 2017 holiday sales have brought in customers who are sticking around.

There's no nice way to say this - a bricks and mortar shopping trip can often be a stressful experience. Technology has long been touted as the saviour of the user experience in physical retail but there's a long history of false promises, high hopes and missed chances.
You could fill a graveyard with all the technologies that have been proclaimed as “the future of retail”. For example, QR codes were hailed as a way of bringing a richer, more informed experience to the real world, until it became apparent no one knew how to scan them!

The Jamaican saying, 'Fire deh a muss muss tail, him think a cool breeze', aptly describes many local businesses that continue to mete out shoddy service to their customers, oblivious to the whirlwind of change nipping at their heels.
Globally, smart companies have recognised that the digital revolution, especially the rapid acceleration of online sales, requires that they counter with unprecedented customer-experience strategies and service excellence.
Regrettably, that realisation has yet to permeate our shores.

At first glance, the headline may make you want to turn away. You’re already thinking: “I handle and treat customer complaints well and effectively. Why read another post on improving customer experience?”
You’re entitled to your assertion of course, but that doesn’t make it right. In fact, it’s more likely that your customers do not agree with you. According to Bain, 80% of companies say they deliver superior customer service, but only 8% of people think these companies deliver superior customer service. Consider some simple reasons why your customers may feel your your brand’s customer experience should improve.

Everyone has been buzzing about Amazon Go, the new store that just opened in Seattle where buyers can simply walk in and swipe their phone, pick out the items they want, and leave — no checkout required. Using infrared cameras and scanners, Amazon Go automatically detects what you’re buying and charges it to your account, making a seamless checkout — and therefore shopping — experience for buyers.
While this new technology is exciting, it raises a number of vital questions: Will this become the new norm for grocery stores or fast food? Will it cause an increase in shoplifting or if the technology fails to charge you, is it even shoplifting? How will it impact cashiers?

Enabling an excellent e-commerce customer experience (CX) is a top priority for many companies. This is especially important as sales are becoming increasingly digital. Online shopping sales hit a record $108.2 billion this holiday season, a 14.7 percent increase from last year, according to Adobe Analytics.
Since consumers have endless opportunities to shop online, they have the luxury to be extremely demanding. If a page takes too long to load, or if they can’t see if their item is available in a local store, they can simply abandon their shopping cart, resulting in lost sales. The following tips will help transform your website visitors into loyal customers.

The e-commerce website is a critically important part of the customer experience; for many customers, it will be the only way of interacting with the company. If the e-commerce website delivers a poor user experience (UX), visitors will click off the site or abandon the shopping cart without giving the company’s customer care team a chance to intervene.
Therefore, it is imperative for an e-commerce website to meet all UX standards. (UX standards apply to website design and can be considered a subset of CX.) These are key areas to execute properly to ensure that all customers have a positive experience on the site, whether or not they make a purchase.

It’s quite evident that the online buying process is no longer a linear one. Consumers are entering eCommerce websites from a myriad of different devices and online channels. And in the midst of all this chaos, your business needs to find a way to reel these consumers in as well as nurture them once they’ve entered your website.
