Introduction: Personalized customer communication to capture digital enrollments in various sectors across different industries such as banking, finance, retail, or travel is a new area where businesses have potential challenges. Even with customer preference to start working on multiple devices, business is not able to provide seamless communication, impacting delays in go-to-market. Customer User Journey Challenges Customers always prefer self-service and seamless transitions between different devices. A consumer is always required to use a device other than a mobile device to fill out complex, regulated loan documents or to access monthly or quarterly bank statements. The anticipated challenges are not limited to the banking and financial businesses, but also affect the retail and tourism industries. The consumer always finds working on multiple devices to be straightforward and convenient. According to several surveys, more than half of adults primarily use cell phones. It indicates that a better experience is still expected on all mobile devices. Even modern customers expect a seamless experience in which they can start activities on one device and finish them on another. Some statistics are mentioned below: 72% of customers prefer self-service interactions to phone or email support1 88% of adults use 2.3 devices per day with 40% start activity on one device and finish on another2 53% of adults use smartphones as their primary computing device3 The conclusion is that you must provide the consumer self-service, multi-device, and on-the-go access. Business User Journey Challenges The user journey is not always about the end-user, marketers face numerous obstacles as well. They must rely mostly on IT to create and update forms for all channels separately, delaying their market entry. Paper management of forms is a significant barrier for marketers due to a lack of digital alternatives. As a result, slow time to market and inefficient operations result in higher costs. Using IT resources to organize and update thousands of departmental forms is a big job that takes a lot of work. Investing in creating positive customer experiences can pay off in the long term by boosting customer loyalty, decreasing form abandonment, increasing revenue, and improving the overall reputation of a business. Positive customer experiences can have a significant impact on business growth for several reasons Improved customer satisfaction: A well-designed and user-friendly digital experience can make it easier for customers to find what they’re looking for and complete transactions, leading to higher levels of customer satisfaction. Increased customer engagement: A positive digital experience can encourage customers to spend more time on a company’s website or app, which can increase their engagement and likelihood of making a purchase. Increased reach: A positive digital experience can help a business reach new customers and markets, as satisfied customers are more likely to share their experiences with others and recommend the company to their friends and family. Improved customer loyalty: A positive digital experience can create a strong emotional connection with customers, making them more likely to return and do repeat business with a company. Improved customer retention: Companies with a strong focus on customer experience often have higher customer retention rates, as customers are more likely to remain loyal when they feel valued and satisfied with the service they receive. Increased revenue: Satisfied customers are more likely to make additional purchases, which can lead to increased revenue for a company. Conversion Rate: An improved user experience, with a user-friendly form, make it easier for customer complete transaction, reducing friction and increasing the likelihood of conversion.
