What is customer experience management?
Customer experience management involves managing customer interaction through both physical and digital touchpoints in order to deliver personalized customer experiences. This helps drive customer loyalty and boosts revenue. Although companies can make efforts to guide customer journeys, they cannot absolutely dictate it to customers. Customer-centric organizations leverage behavioral data, marketing technologies, and customer insights to optimize customer journeys.

Customer experience management trends
Several transformation triggers including globalization, digitization, and economic changes have the power to dramatically impact customer interactions with a brand and influence their decision-making. So, while formulation a customer experience management strategy, companies must take these factors into consideration. Here are four customer experience management predictions for 2019 from Infiniti Research:
Hyper-personalization at every touchpoint
One of the key recent trends is the increasing need for personalization in products/services. Today, hyper-personalization forms a key element of customer experience and satisfaction. As a part of their strategy, forward-thinking companies are using data and analytics for (near) real-time personalization. Today, customers are inundated with advertisements and multimedia content on different platforms. This makes it crucial for brands to not add irrelevant noise to their content, rather, define ways to stand out from the crowd.

Organization-wide customer focus
In most cases, hiring a chief customer officer is not enough to deliver an impeccable customer experience. The most successful brands in customer experience management are those who establish an organization-wide customer-experience mindset. Top companies like Amazon are thinking about customer experience in everything they do including marketing, supply chain, infrastructure, logistics, and product design.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Robotic Process Automation, also known as RPA involves the use of machines to automate repetitive and mundane tasks, helping businesses to increase efficiency and decrease costs. Moreover, this gives the human resources of a company to focus on tasks such as innovation, problem-solving, creativity, and research and analysis.
Data ethics
One of the most popular CX trends to watch out for this year is the rising need for data privacy and ethics. With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law that gives customers power over their personal data, companies have to be more cautious than ever in compliance with such regulations.
This law has changed the way companies handle customer data which has now transitioned from a business asset to the customers’ property. Facebook data ethics scandal in the recent past is proof that such instances can hurt a company’s image in the public eye and eventually lose customer trust. Customers want great customer experiences from brands they can trust. So, building customer trust by maintaining their privacy and data security is now an essential customer experience management trend.
