A new article on Martech.org reports that that a survey found only 38% of marketers they have clearly defined goals and strategies for digital customer experience.



Marketers know they need great digital customer experience, but few know how to get it. While 84% agree that businesses must deliver excellent digital customer experience to survive, only 38% say they have clearly defined goals and strategies for it, a Forbes Insight survey found.

Also, more than 80% say it is an important competitive differentiator, as essential to a company's success as products, services and pricing. The return on CX is well established, with 83% of respondents saying improved experience boosts profitability. Additionally, 77% said they could demonstrate the link between digital CX investments and improved business performance.

Stumbling blocks

One of the reasons so few businesses have a strategy is that few have an overall leader in this area. Just 36% have established ownership and delegated responsibility for digital customer experience. This explains why only 34% are confident that their digital experiences are optimally personalized.

So, what are the top barriers to long-term digital CX success?
  • Privacy and security (69%)
  • Legacy analytics practices (66%)
  • Talent retention (65%)
  • Cross-team collaboration (65%)

Without a detailed strategy, it is nearly impossible for digital customer service to reach its full revenue and retention boosting potential. There must be clearly defined goals and metrics, and assigned digital CX leaders if a company hopes to compete.
