Why is customer experience indispensable today?
In today's world, everything that we look at from building a great product is entangled with experience of the users, whether, it is a B2C product or B2B product. You walk-in to a retail shop like Croma to check the VR experience for your Samsung mobile, deploy a CRM software like Zendesk or play poker with gaming apps like Zynga. All these products invest heavily on innovation putting the customer/user in mind.
How is CX changing the way products are built?
Lets take Amazon as an example, wherein, the web or app have basic features of search and browse with impeccable variety of categories and SKUs. However, they emphase their operations heavily in order to provide the track and trace info to the customers and put customer experience as top priority, so that operational products enable the experience.
Take a look at a traditional Swedish furniture company - IKEA (in the link) and how the firm is focusing on building Augmented reality to experience their products from app to explore and buy the furniture.
How are customers perceiving a product as experience?
