Technology occupies a majority of our time nowadays, and while we are integrating more and more devices into our daily lives, companies are working toward providing a seamless experience to their customers through their multiple devices.
Customer behavior is now driving initiatives of marketing, sales and technology. While some companies are focusing on a desktop, mobile or Apple Watch experience, a true omnichannel strategy looks toward a holistic approach to this problem. Instead of focusing on multichannel growth, one should focus on providing a seamless experience in-store or online. The focus should be on bridging the gap between the real-life experience and the online experience.

To stay ahead of the curve, UX design is important for a brand because it will help our business by making the best possible first impression, generating ROI, increase in customers retention and market share, money saving in the development phase, and a big-ticket investment for the future

Recently, a lot of trending customer journey analysis around user experience, marketing and technology, is attempting to take humans and their cost out of consideration, replacing them with technology and automation. But what are we pursuing with such an effort?
Apart from optimisation and efficiency, are we pursuing the anticipation of emotions or feelings in a given circumstance and expecting technology and automation to take care of it? Interestingly, most successful brand stories are about human beings who have gone out of their way to help customers.
One reason for that is “help” between brands and customers is based on empathy rather than just solutions. So, it is paradoxical to find a lot of content surrounding AI focused on making contact “more human” and more “naturally conversational”. With that said, are we expecting AI to drive customer-brand relationships rather than solutions?

As the team at Website Builder Expert explain, “the best designed websites grab, engage and sell. Essentially, UX will demand the user’s attention, keep them on page, and, hopefully, lead to a conversion.”

Website users believe Amazon has the best user experience (UX) among top websites, despite the continued popularity of social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, according to a new survey conducted by Clutch, the leading B2B research, ratings and reviews company.
The largest share (21%) of website users surveyed think Amazon's UX outperforms Facebook and YouTube, even though both sites have more than double the visitors of Amazon.

Apple employees are so trained to consider the end user that they prioritize any project that will affect the user’s experience. This user-centric tech giant proves with every new product release that its customers can’t wait to buy again and again.
Other companies would do well to prioritize the user experience as Apple does. Many try, so long as they get budget approval. Unfortunately, most companies don’t understand the right way to measure the effectiveness of their UX design -- not to mention how to improve it.

Intergamma, the organisation behind brands GAMMA and KARWEI is the largest DIY (hardware) company in the Benelux region – with nearly 400 locations across the Netherlands and Belgium. As part of their online vision, Intergamma has set its sights on becoming the largest and best omnichannel retailer in the Benelux region. They knew that in order to achieve this status, two things were certain: the customer must continue to come first and all physical stores, website and mobile apps should be in tip-top shape. This ambition ultimately led to a pilot with Mopinion Feedback Analytics software.
