How much do you really understand your customer?

There are many emerging platforms that can be used to create omni-digital experiences.
What’s needed is a strategy, and this has never been more true than today.

All of the great technology won’t work without the leadership to make it happen.
But it’s not about the technology, it’s about the relationships that you can create and deepen through these experiences.
Here’s an example: Nordstrom’s purpose statement is focused on the relationship with customers, defined by EMPOWERMENT. They started with inventory systems because they helped salespeople fulfill a key need of customers. Then armed employees with tablets, information at their fingertips. Then incorporated Pinterest pins into merchandising, and even put pins in the stores. Their technology choices were grounded in what will build experiences that deepen the relationship. This is a strategy.
Altimeter’s research shows that 88% of companies are going through a digital transformation. But only 25% truly understand the customer journey and use it to create new digital touch points.
Even the way we create traditional customer journeys needs to change – next generation experiences will go beyond a few personas to be individualized, be continously designed based on dynamic, real-time data.
There are four ways to build these new next generation customer experiences.
Customer Obsession goes beyond being customer focused or customer centric. We are talking about OBSESSION about the needs and wants of customers.
T-Mobile’s turnaround was based on a new understanding of what customers wanted – transparency, flexibility, and fairness. They crafted customer experiences around the them of being the “Un-carrier” throughout the company.
To be customer obsessed, be like the “Undercover Boss” where you can really find out what customers do and want.
The key is to walk in the shoes of your customers and develop empathy for them.
Understand what your customers do across websites. Jumpshot can track customers across multiple sites through a browser (computer or mobile). In one example, the data showed that frequent flyers of one airline were much more likely to purchase with an online travel agent (OTA) then the second airline’s frequent fliers.

Second chart shows the number of visits each segment visited prior to converting with an airline. The longer the bar, the more sites they visit before purchasing, meaning the more opportunities for conquesting.
Many organizations feel they need to have a full “360 view” of the customer in order to be effective. The key is to understand the customer journey, the gaps in the journey, and the data you need to bridge that gap. You need enough information to make decisions, not to necessarily remove all risk.
Second area is being pragmatic.
One of the most successful innovative brands is Google. And what they do well is to Fail. Here’s a list of some (not even close to all) of the products that have failed. Failing well requires knowing what worked, didn’t work, and being able to apply that learning. This doesn’t happen unless we have a health relationship with failure. Pragmatic, not emotional relationship with failure.
Be clear about defining success AND failure. Then celebrate both.
Here are some brands experimenting with Snapchat.
Everland promoted a popup store in NYC via a Snapchat story
McDonald’s created a sponsored wrapper for Snapchat users near their stores with geo-targeting.
Wet Seal sponsored a Snapchat story from a top 18-year old fashion blogger.
Who do you trust? How much do you trust Facebook? What would your customers say about you and your brand?
Edelman found that two ways to build trust comes from Integrity (doing what you say you are going to do) and Engagement.
Altimeter research found that two-thirds of consumers don’t understand how companies are using the data they collect.
