Summary

The Directors Dinner

As the competitive and market pressure mounts to punctuate the transactional timeline with customer experiences that provide value across every touchpoint has become essential. In fact, a recent report highlights that multi-channel businesses are estimated to be about 25% more profitable than human-only experiences.

Similar to what we experienced with the high street, digital channels are becoming particularly critical in driving business growth and reducing costs for brands across industries, resonating from Automotive and Manufacturing to CPG and Distribution.

Whilst businesses must remain responsive, the challenge of identifying which of your touch points will enhance the customer journey must balance with the omnipresent need to prove ROI. Buyers are demanding a consistent and ever-improving service level, which can only truly be delivered by departments working closely together – with a shared purpose to delight every customer every time.

Our Experience Commerce dinner event invited industry professionals to debate and discuss the value of reinforcing the customer journey with truly valuable experiences and how these can be used to prove tangible ROI.
