Customer Care and Customer Experience: the customer always at the heart

On the one hand, professional and always available assistance, on the other, new technologies to make the customers' experiences unique. Customer satisfaction must now be at the heart of any company strategy.

Successful relationships achieved by emphatic interlocutors

“Global Consumer Trend 2023” has identified the main trends for a successful relationship between customers and brands. These are: human connections, personal relationships, unstructured feedback and collaborative operators. Published by Qualtrics, an American company listed on the Nasdaq and specialized in experience management solutions, the analysis includes interviews with 33,000 consumers from 29 countries: among them, about 1,200 are Italian.

Regarding customer interaction, the study shows that the presence of a collaborative interlocutor has a greater impact on consumer satisfaction also compared to a short waiting time. In Italy, specifically, getting in touch with an employee who shows empathy has an important weight in the overall experience with a particular brand.

To ensure the level of satisfaction required by the market, an efficient Customer Care must be able to rely on staff both online and on-site.

The Customer Experience between interactivity and gamification

If you want to keep the customer top of mind, effective support comes with a personalized and interactive shopping experience. An interesting fact, as reported by the insight "A transformation in store" by McKinsey & Company, is that the 83% of American consumers now expect their shopping experience to be somehow personalized.

In order to achieve this goal, several resources can help retailers: loyalty programs to collect consumer preferences, sales assistance, digital signage, promotional messages complying with the target profile and interactive experiences in the wake of gamification. A perfect knowledge of their customers leads to targeted interactions and, for this reason, they are really appreciated.
