Gartner defines customer experience as the customer’s perceptions and related feelings caused by the one-off and cumulative effect of interactions with a supplier’s employees, systems, channels or products.
Principles of customer experience
Experiences must be deliberately designed, great experiences don't often happen by accident and are unlikely to be consistent. A consistent experience is key across these three primary areas.
Meet Needs
Experiences must meet the needs of your customers, understanding needs should happen through a range of approaches including VOC programmes, customer advisory groups etc.
Reduce effort
Experiences must be designed to reduce effort and become friction-less where appropriate
Enjoyable
Experiences must help build advocacy through rich and engaging interactions
