The web is awash with data --
from product specs to reviews --
buyers can use to inform their
purchase decisions.

Brands want to create simplicity
in their engagement, yet data,
and disparate technology make it
“challenging” - lack of metrics.

Buyers can learn more about brands
than ever before and may find a reason
to align with a brand.

For every Amazon.com, there
are hundreds of brands who are not.
Analytics can be cold.
Humanizing it is challenging.

80% of companies say they deliver
a great customer experience.
8% of customers agree with them.

Today’s brands have to consider
customer experiences across the
whole journey - not only one area.

Brands want to make experiences
“personal” yet what is personal
is vastly different and the ability to
personalize is challenging.

Focusing on channel, like a website
or email, is no longer enough.
Brands must think about the entire
customer journey.

Too many brands equate customer
experience and service. The latter
is just one element of the former.

Customer experience in marketing
includes relevance/timing of
communications, delivering on
brand pormise, etc.

22. What is a brand’s greatest challenge
with creating intelligent customer
experiences?

Challenge is what technology.
Not everyone has Apple’s or
Amazon’s revenue to invest -
not the intellectual bandwidth.

Sometimes you don’t need innovation;
sometimes you just need to get
the customer experience basics right.

There’s also great customer experience
that stems from understanding
people in general. Consider the
Tiffany blue box.

Brands need to understand what data
they have (too much), what they
want to do, and realize what they can do.
Start and then react.
