Mapping the Digital Customer Experience Journey

January 8, 2019 By: Zoe McCook

 

A customer has to go through a series of steps on your website or mobile app in order to get to a desired conclusion. Whether booking a flight, purchasing a jacket, or requesting a quote, a customer must follow a specific path to reach their digital destination. Customer Journey Analysis allows you to map that path out so that you can understand if your customers are able to access your products/services as fast and easy as possible. If the journey is too long or complicated, customers will get frustrated and leave.

But how to you manage analysis with hundreds of unique pages? Funnels allow you to detail the steps of each specific journey and enables teams to discover areas of drop off and highlight optimization opportunities.

By monitoring and reviewing the the digital customer experience journey from your users point of view, you can begin to understand what motivates them to move on to the next step or to abandon. Paired with the power of Quantum Metric’s Digital Experience Intelligence Platform, you can surface meaningful insights to influence upgrades to your customer journey.

How are my most loyal users impacted?
