Understanding the customer journey is crucial to a company's success.

Whether you are a food manufacturer, a metal processing company, a transport company, a public transport operator, a sports association, a tourism company or an educational institution - the customer journey offers valuable insights into the behaviour and needs of your customers.

What is the customer journey, why should every company define its own, what benefits does it bring and what risks does it harbour if it is not defined? Why should updating the customer journey be an ongoing process and how can HERZBLUAT help you to make your customer journey sustainable?

Customer journey - what is it?

What is the customer journey?

Definition and meaning

The customer journey describes the entire journey that a customer goes through before making a purchase decision and beyond.

This journey often begins with the first contact or first contact with your brand and leads through various touchpoints to the purchase and into the post-purchase phase.

The customer journey encompasses all interactions that customers have with your company, whether online or offline.

Phases of the customer journey

Perception:
The customer becomes aware of your product or service.

Consideration:
The customer begins to take a closer look at your offer and compare alternatives.

Purchase decision:
The customer decides to make a purchase.

Post-purchase phase:
The customer uses the product or service and may share his or her experiences.

Each of these phases includes different touchpoints, i.e. points of contact at which customers interact with your brand.
These can range from advertising, social media, website visits, reviews and recommendations to direct interactions in-store or customer service.

Why should every company have its own customer journey?

Advantages of a defined customer journey

Improved customer experience:
A clearly defined customer journey enables companies to optimise the customer experience at every touchpoint and increase customer satisfaction.

Targeted marketing strategies:
With a clear customer journey, marketing campaigns can be targeted to the needs and behaviours of customers.

Efficient use of resources:
Companies can utilise their resources more efficiently by concentrating on the most important touchpoints and phases of the customer journey.

Higher conversion rate:
By optimising the customer journey, companies can increase the conversion rate as potential customers are better accompanied and supported.

Long-term customer loyalty:
A positive customer journey contributes to long-term customer retention and promotes customer loyalty.

Advantages for a wide range of industries

Food manufacturers:
A food manufacturer can use a clearly defined customer journey to better understand which products are particularly popular with customers and why.
This enables targeted product development and more effective marketing campaigns.

Metalworking companies:
Metalworking companies can use the customer journey to better understand the needs of their B2B customers and offer customised solutions, which increases customer satisfaction and the repurchase rate.

Transport company:
Transport companies can improve the efficiency of their services and optimise the customer experience throughout the entire journey, from booking to arrival, by optimising the customer journey.

Local public transport:
Public transport companies can use the customer journey to better analyse passenger flows and adapt their services to achieve greater satisfaction and efficiency.

Sports organisations:
Sports associations can use the customer journey to optimise interaction with their members and fans, from event registration to long-term member retention.

Tourism companies:
Tourism companies can use the customer journey to better understand travellers and develop targeted marketing strategies to increase customer satisfaction and boost booking rates.

Educational institutions:
Educational institutions can use the customer journey to better understand the needs of their students and develop customised educational offers that promote student satisfaction and success.

Risks of an undefined customer journey

Inconsistent customer experience:
Without a defined customer journey, there is a risk that the customer experience will be inconsistent at different touchpoints.

Missed opportunities:
Organisations can miss important opportunities to engage with customers if they don't understand their journey.

Inefficient marketing:
Marketing strategies can be less effective if they are not based on a clear customer journey.

Low customer loyalty:
A lack of structure and optimisation of the customer journey can lead to lower customer loyalty and higher churn rates.

Unnecessary costs:
Without a clear structure and objectives, this can lead to inefficient use of resources and unnecessary costs as measures come to nothing.

Why is updating the customer journey a continuous process?

Dynamic market conditions

Customers' needs and expectations are constantly changing.

By continuously updating the customer journey, companies can ensure that they are always up to date and take changing market conditions into account.

For example, purchasing behaviour can change due to new technologies or trends, and these changes must be taken into account in the customer journey.

Technological developments

New technologies and digital trends can have a major impact on the way customers interact with companies.

Regularly reviewing and adapting the customer journey ensures that companies utilise technological developments and adapt their strategies accordingly.

This can range from the introduction of new communication channels to the implementation of AI-supported tools to improve the customer experience.

Competitive advantage

Companies that regularly update their customer journey can gain a competitive advantage.

They are able to react more quickly to changes and serve their customers better than their competitors.

Flexible and adaptable customer journey mapping enables companies to react proactively to market developments and always stay one step ahead.

Customer feedback

Integrating customer feedback into the customer journey update process enables companies to respond directly to the wishes and needs of their customers and continuously improve their strategies.

Customer feedback provides valuable insights into the actual customer experience and can help to identify and eliminate weak points in the customer journey.
