At the heart of your business lies invaluable customer information. By delving into their processes, goals, and needs, you can refine your customer acquisition strategies, fostering a symbiotic relationship that drives growth.
Customer acquisition is a multi-phased process that is often not defined by one single customer journey. However, most companies look at their sales funnel as a one-dimensional being. In order to create lasting customer relationships, you need to examine all of the ways your audience interacts with your brand, online and offline.
Customers are engaging with your brand but not following through, and you don't know where they are dropping off.
If you don't understand your customer journeys, you're not only blind to lost revenue but inviting it.
If customers don't feel looked after, they'll move on. Understanding your journeys should be part of your customer service efforts.
To start, you should have one each for your top three personas or products, at least one for re-engagement and one for win backs. Your journeys should evolve as your business does, so expect to create more as you grow.
When visualizing the journey, we are partial to Funnelytics, but you can use any tool that you are comfortable with. Often, this process starts with a piece of paper or a chalkboard. Post-it notes also work well to get ideas flowing. There are customer journey mapping-specific tools like Smaply that will guide you forward.
We have many templates for customer journey mapping and can often quickly create a rough draft of your main journey, so collaboration can begin. Each tool and platform have their own customized templates which make it easier to get started.
Typically, we work with the marketing department first. However, every customer touchpoint should be explored and journey mapping is very popular with customer service teams.
Customer journey mapping helps you strategize all potential touchpoints, which will lead to an outline of a content plan. Next, you can decide what information needs to be delivered when to create engagement with this new target market.
Time is precious — the idea of prioritizing customer journey mapping over everything else is overwhelming. Hiring a dedicated team will take 90% of this work off your plate, while still prioritizing the end result.
