customer journey analysis: what to do? 5X
- Look for low points in the journey where expectations are not met
- Identify high points in the journey where expectations are exceeded.
- Look for moments of truth: points in the journey that are so important that the rest of the experience might hinge on them
- Evaluate time spent in major stages. Identify any unnecessary touchpoints or interactions.
- Pinpoint high-friction channel transitions; channel pain points. (friction can appear when users change channel)
Attribution problem
An attribution problem occurs in online marketing when you can not determine the primary source of conversion or you do not know the conversion paths followed by your website users
How do we measure the effectiveness of a given touchpoint? 2X
- Single touch: last interaction
- Multi-touch: linear and time decay
Omnichannel: begrip
Bij omnichannel kan de consument kanalen door elkaar gebruiken terwijl de beleving, prijzen, en informatie overal hetzelfde zijn. Alle kanalen lopen volledig in elkaar over waardoor een volledig transparant proces ontstaat.
Multichannel: begrip
Zoals het begrip al doet vermoeden is multichannel het bedienen van consumenten via meerdere verkoopkanalen. De consument kan kiezen of hij een product online of in de winkel koopt. Online en de winkel zijn hierbij niet op elkaar afgestemd
Research shoppers are defined as
as customers that search in one channel and purchase in another: 43% of all shoppers
2 examples research shoppers
Showrooming: looking in store, buying online
Webrooming: looking online, buying in store - Important to look at those two types of customers because of the increased touch points
The research-shopping phenomenon can be illustrated by means of three mechanisms
- Channel- stage association: Association between channel attributes and customer needs in a certain stage of the customer journey
- Channel lock-in: Switching behavior of customers between information search and purchase, low lock-in channels foster research-shopping
o ‘Lock in’ aims to create a barrier for customers to switch from your brand or offering and instead move to a competitor offering. It can do this through a combination of increasing switching costs or the effort to transfer (soft lock-in) and positive reasons to stay such as superior brand experience or incentives. - Cross-channel synergy: Searching in one channel may improve the purchase experience in another channel
Can customer experience be poor, if the individual touchpoint perform well?
Yes, customers experience companies through end to end experiences, not touchpoint, t
