What is digital customer experience?

Digital customer experience is the sum of digital interactions between you and your customers – and the resulting impressions that your customers walk away with. Using digital tools to optimise both front-end services and back-office process optimisation, digital customer experience is about helping you meet customer expectations.

Why is digital customer experience important?

The way people interact with brands has changed dramatically over the past decade. The rise of mobile devices, social media and online shopping has meant customers have become more accustomed to interacting with brands on their own terms.
By adapting to your users' needs and adopting a digital customer experience strategy, you’ll benefit from:

  • Better data and reporting
    with a connected omnichannel approach you’ll get more insight into your customers, what they need and where their core pain points are. With this data, you can assess trends and diagnose and resolve problems in your digital customer journey quickly and efficiently.

  • Reduce support costs
    By incorporating AI, knowledge management and automation as part of your strategy, you’ll be able to scale your customer support without hiring more agents or impacting your user's experience online.

  • Create advocates and increase customer retention
    If you can create a personalised experience and resolve your customers' issues quickly and efficiently, they’re much more likely to stick with you and become repeat purchases.

Creating a digital customer experience strategy

Digital experience strategy isn’t an IT-driven initiative; it’s a customer-needs-driven initiative. It’s important that your business recognises the difference between simply using digital technology and leveraging it to improve customer experiences and address customer needs.

When you think about improving your digital customer experience and optimising your strategy, you should be thinking about:

  • Reachability - Thinking about your customer’s preferred channels.
  • Channel Flexibility - How easy is it for your customers to switch channels and not lose context?
  • Simplicity - Improving user interfaces to reduce friction, load time and customer effort, creating a seamless experience. 
  • Service Convenience - Making it easy for customers to get quick or live support.
  • Purchase Convenience - Creating seamless transactions and access to new products or subscriptions.
  • Personalisation - Provide a personalised experience, meeting customers’ preferences and treating them as individuals.

Creating a digital customer experience strategy is about putting yourself in the shoes of the customer and trying to understand the impact and importance of digital channels from that viewpoint.

How to improve the digital customer experience?

Create holistic customer journeys:

Increasingly, your channels will merge and intersect throughout the customer journey. The digital experience is just one part of the customer experience, which is why it’s important to focus on creating a holistic customer journey across both digital and non-digital channels. If your customers move from one channel to another, their history should move with them – providing a consistent contextual journey.

Your customers don’t think about their experiences in the context of digital vs non-digital; they just want to access your business in the most convenient way possible. With truly omnichannel contact centre software, you can help your customers to select their channel of choice and move between channels as required, whilst giving your agents a 360-view of the customer and their interaction history.


Utilise data & reporting to meet customer needs:

With a connected omnichannel approach you’ll get more insight into your customers, what they need and where their core pain points are. With this data, you’re able to evaluate cross-channel actions, assess trends and diagnose and resolve problems in your digital customer journey quickly and efficiently.

Deliver positive experiences:

A strong digital experience strategy can showcase your value to potential customers, help you to earn their trust, boost conversions and nurture long-lasting relationships with your customers. If your business is prioritising holistic journeys and contextualised interactions and has the right platforms and technologies to support this, you can create positive customer experiences.

Build trust by providing personalised support, resolving issues quickly, and coaching your agents on empathy to ensure they can be sympathetic and proactive in response to customer needs.

Empower customers to self-serve:

Your customers should be able to find the information they need quickly and easily. By leveraging your digital tools to provide access to a repository of knowledge in the form of a knowledge base, FAQs, solution articles, and help communities, you can empower your customers to find answers by themselves. This increases the speed of first contact resolution and creates a positive experience for your customer.

Measure customer satisfaction:

Providing a great digital experience is an ongoing process. By reviewing insights, getting feedback and measuring customer satisfaction, you can keep on top of your frameworks and streamline your strategy for maximum impact.
