While they might overlap, each term has its place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer experience is a term that belongs both to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveagent.com\/customer-service-software\/\">customer service<\/a> and marketing realms. It\u2019s used to describe the whole experience for a buyer, from their very first interaction with a brand right through after-sales care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer experience design is fundamental to the success of a brand, as it drives a company\u2019s reputation. In fact, half of the customers say that customer experience is more important to them now than it was before, while 94% of people are<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emarketer.com\/content\/customer-experience-2021\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> more likely to buy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from brands whose customer experience they rate as being very good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">User experience (UX) is more of a design-related term. Used in reference to buying psychology, UX design considers how the physical elements of a buying journey make it easier for a customer to reach their end goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, UX design streamlines the customer journey to improve the customer experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX design can seriously help a company to net customers, increase conversions, and enhance the customer experience.

Use social data to inform buyer personas<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media platforms are a treasure trove of personal data that tells you all about your target audience\u2019s preferences, interests, and behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only are customers accepting of the fact that brands use social data to understand them better, but they also encourage this to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tracking and monitoring social data helps you get a stronger sense of the kind of people interested in your products and services, enabling you to build more accurate buyer personas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By understanding their behavior, you can get a better idea of how to design customer experiences to meet the requirements and preferences of each buyer persona.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Millennials and Gen Zers are far more likely to use messaging apps than Baby Boomers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7882\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image1-2.png\" alt=\"Messaging and generation gaps\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zendesk.co.uk\/cx-trends-report\/trend-2\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this respect, if your social data shows that you\u2019re catering to Millennials and Gen Zers, go ahead and integrate a social messaging support chatbot. If your data shows your audience is mostly Baby Boomers, you\u2019re better off focusing your customer support on email services using your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onehourprofessor.com\/best-email-marketing-software-services\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">preferred email marketing platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Use social data to design your omnichannel experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An omnichannel customer experience is made up of the individual customer touchpoints, over a variety of connected channels that allow potential customers to pick up where they left off on one channel and continue the experience on another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only do 43% of buyers say that they feel like an individual when a brand recognizes them across all touchpoints, but they also think an omnichannel experience is more important than marketers give it credit for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Rich Gardner, VP of Global Strategic Partnerships at Klaviyo puts it: you need to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cfind out what your customers care about and design meaningful communications across all of your online channels that mirror how you would build a relationship with a customer in person.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social data provides the key here.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By tracking data across all social platforms, you can get an idea of what your audience uses each platform for, enabling you to tailor the design to facilitate those purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you may find that Instagram is used to discover your products. Following the discovery of your brand, customers head over to YouTube to watch videos about your products and learn more. After finding out about your products, customers head to your website to purchase from your product pages before switching to Facebook to leave a review.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using this social data, you can better design the customer journey to improve the user experience with more effective navigational features and easy-to-spot signposts that link these channels together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Use customer service data to address recurring usability issues<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for patterns and visualizing customer data can help you to understand where customers are getting stuck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this may indicate bottlenecks in the buying journey, you may also find that existing customers have usability issues with your products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, imagine that you offer a service through an app. You might find that customers are continuously contacting support because a certain feature of the app doesn&#8217;t work or it\u2019s not easy to figure out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitoring the patterns in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudtalk.io\/blog\/the-importance-of-data-driven-decisions-in-sales-customer-service\">customer support data<\/a> helps you to get a clearer understanding of how to tweak UX design to smooth out the customer experience of your product or service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget to look into self-service customer support data, such as your help center. You may find that customers are accessing particular help guides and how-to videos more than others. Nowadays there are plenty of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/appsumo.com\/products\/screencastify\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">screen recording tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to create quick video tutorials for such purposes. If this is the case, these features could likely do with a UX tune-up to make them easier to use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Use chatbot data to improve website navigation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last year, around 20% of companies implemented a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engati.com\/blog\/what-are-chatbots\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chatbot to enhance their customer service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only can a chatbot speed up customer service and deal with minor support requests instantly, but it\u2019s also a reservoir of informative data.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7895\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/chatbot.jpg\" alt=\"Chatbot example\" width=\"395\" height=\"769\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livechat.com\/\">Source<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important use of chatbots is to help customers navigate around your website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to 61% of web designers <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surveyed by GoodFirms<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, bad navigation is the number one reason why visitors abandon a website. Despite this, over 30% agree that convoluted navigation is the most frequent web design mistake they see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Poor navigation is frustrating to users. It makes it tough to reach the end goal, encouraging them to click off your site and look for answers elsewhere. A few simple adjustments to the UX design of your navigation can improve the customer experience, helping customers better reach their end goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just look at Bizztravel Wintersports, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By simplifying navigation, the Dutch travel company managed to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vwo.com\/success-stories\/bizztravel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">increase goal completion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by more than 20%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chatbot data can be extremely helpful to this process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By harvesting chatbot data, you can find the most common navigational queries from visitors to help you tweak UX design and make it easier for users to navigate around your site. Apart from the chatbot, you can also implement the use of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/callhippo.com\/blog\/customer-support\/top-customer-service-tools-for-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other customer service tools<\/a>\u00a0like Live Chat, Self-service portals, Customer portals, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Use customer sentiment data to find emotional triggers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes referred to as opinion mining, sentiment analysis uses natural language processing to analyze consumer text data to decipher the emotional sentiments of customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most often, brands use customer sentiment analysis to find common themes within <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/onepageexpress.com\/2019\/11\/15\/ecommerce-consumer-reviews-for-higher-conversions-in-2020\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer reviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7890\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image9-1.png\" alt=\"user reviews\" width=\"900\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/monkeylearn.com\/sentiment-analysis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feedback tends to be emotionally driven since customers only tend to give feedback if they\u2019re very happy or very frustrated. Sentiment analysis enables you to identify the customer experience elements that drive these strong emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look for patterns among negative feedback to spot areas where you can improve UX design to enhance the customer experience. Identify patterns in the positive feedback so you can use these devices as inspiration for your UX tweaks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Use A\/B test data to optimize the buying experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">57% of brands agree that tracking user data has a significant impact on internal design decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A\/B testing is a great way to create data that directly informs design decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, customers will respond better to design features that improve the all-around customer experience.
