The terms ‘customer experience’ and ‘customer centric’ have been around for some time. These terms are now referred to in shorthand as CX. But now a new term is emerging: HX, the ‘human experience’.
But what does this mean? Aren’t they the same thing? In commerce, customer experience (CX) is the product of an interaction between an organisation and a customer over the duration of their relationship. Basically, it’s the steps involved and how a customer experiences their buying and customer service journey with any organisation and its people — for good or for bad.

User experience (UX) design is the process of building relationships between products and prospects or customers through a digital or physical experience that involves engineering, marketing, graphical, industrial and interface designs. UEGroup CEO Tony Fernandes in an interview with CMSWire called UX design an “interactive brand experience that takes the place of establishing credibility and connection in the way that logos and taglines did in the past.”

Customer experience (CX) is a broad term which can cover many areas: Acquisition, content, conversion, and, of course, ongoing customer service.
Through all of these areas, though, there are some guiding principles which marketers can use as they seek to improve CX using digital channels.
To find out what guidelines marketers are currently using for CX improvement initiatives, Econsultancy, in association with Epsilon, invited dozens of client-side marketers in Shanghai to discuss the future of customer experience. Through moderated roundtable discussions, a number of themes emerged which are summarized below.

In customer experience (CX), mobile is becoming everything. But, mobile success requires a lot more than just having an app or mobile site.
With over 40% of online transactions and growing, mobile is eating the world day by day. When a customer sets out to learn and make a decision, the smartphone is the gateway to discovery.
Smartphones, popular apps and on-demand services push consumer behaviors in new, disruptive directions. As a result, customers are introduced to direct and even unorthodox ways to discover relevant information, insights and desired outcomes.

By now, you’ve heard about the importance of both UX (user experience) and CX (customer experience) when it comes to a company’s survival. While that’s true, a lot is still unclear about which is actually more important to prioritize.
The answer? Both.
UX is reflective on the usability of a company’s website, whereas CX focuses on customer interactions and meeting overall expectations. The UX of an airline company, for example, would relate to the usability of the mobile app interface and website: how easy it is to purchase flight tickets, access flight information, download a boarding pass, etc.
