Customers are the most important cog in your business. Without them, you don’t have a business. But, despite all the tools we have today to create emotion-rich experiences for buyers, many marketers still struggle to understand their customers and what they really want. This just doesn’t cut it any more, particularly when consumers are actively seeking out connections with the brands they purchase from rather than one-off buying frenzies.

The debate itself is a testimony that these practitioners are more focused on their self importance than on their customers’ needs. As long as you debate which is more important – the food or the utensils – your guest goes away hungry. The most amazing product cannot thrive without at least reasonable customer service. The most amazing customer support cannot keep customers from abandoning inadequate products, and without retaining the customers there is no path to sustainable profitability.

Continuous testing is a term that is commonly associated with software development. The objective of this process is to reduce the time it takes for developers to gather user feedback data and use it to tweak the product. This brings down the time it takes to fix bugs and usability issues on the user’s end and thus contributes to a better customer experience. In some ways then, continuous testing can also be looked at as a marketing strategy.
