There’s been a subtle shift in the way people spend over the last few years, and this looks set to continue in 2018; consumers are now spending more money on experiences over a quality of product and it is the experience of a brand or product, rather than the quality, which is building brand loyalty.
This shows us that it’s no longer good enough to merely provide a fantastic product. The internet is making it much easier for consumers to ‘shop around’, and as a result, they are becoming much savvier about where they spend their money. That’s why it’s vital you give your customers no reason to look elsewhere by making every experience they have with you a good one.

Delivering strong customer experiences (CX) ties directly to your bottom line.

Two years ago, I prognosticated about what might happen with AI in CX in 2018. 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.

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.
