In other words, customer experience will define success and dictate behavior in 2023.
What is customer experience?
Customer experience is the perception of your clients of how a company or brand serves them. CX is crucial to so many businesses, as it influences their behavior and creates memories or emotions which drive their loyalty. In other words, a happy customer will convert to a buyer and recommend you to others.
2023 Customer experience trends
Contactless and Self-Service
Over the last year, Contactless experience went from innovative to standard operating procedure. Today, the DMV provides temperature sensors for self-service, and the restaurant industry replaced menus with QR codes on tables.
Telehealth
Throughout 2020 we saw healthcare transition to office visits, home health care, and consultations virtually. By 2025, telehealth is expected to account for 25 % of healthcare.
Value proposition
Investment in a corporate culture that will operationalize your belief system is key.
Multi-channel servicing
Companies interact with their customers across multiple channels, including website, live chat, social media, and more. Yet, their voice and level of service should remain consistent.
For example, wherever a customer may visit an IKEA store, the standard of service remains the same. IKEA opened more stores this year than ever, invested in their home delivery network, and launched a brand new app – all for the good of their customers. It’s this level of execution that drives more companies to invest in an omnichannel experience.
Mobile customer experience
Mobile customer support is critical: a bad mobile experience will significantly harm your brand perception among consumers.
According to Stat Counter, 52% of all internet traffic now comes from mobile, with desktop usage on a trending decline.
Chatbots and automation
Chatbots offer quicker responses to their questions when consumers need to reach out, thus reducing overhead for frontline agents at the same time. Modern chatbots triage problems, route clients, and even answer routine questions.
Final Note
Empathy to the customer and your team is vital in 2023. Consistent communication through all channels and an aware approach to business is critical for success in today’s unique market.
