2. A high-quality customer experience is rapidly
becoming a key differentiator for brands
seeking to gain a competitive advantage
3. “on average, customers who have a high-quality
experience are 2.7 times more likely to keep
doing business with a brand than customers
who have a low-quality experience”
“The ROI of CX Transformation - Forrester
4. A high quality experience is not a website that
looks great, regardless of the screen size
5. A high quality experience is an experience that
adapts to the needs of the user, the situation, the
location and the context of use
6. This high quality experience is
very contextual.
