Come migliorare la CX nell’Automotive

AICEX: il settore Automotive dovrà cambiare, che lo voglia o meno. Oltre alle evoluzioni inside-out ci saranno anche quelle outside-in ad esempio a seguito di acquisizioni in settori affini. Già il titolo originale di questo Post dice molto: “3 Innovative Ways to Improve Your Dealership’s Customer Experience: Can I Have a Pedicure With My Oil Change Please?” 

Car manufacturers and dealers have historically focused on product quality and the driving experience to acquire new customers and encourage brand loyalty. However, product quality is improving dramatically and is losing value as a key brand differentiator. According to a report by Medallia, “Over a ten-year period, from 2003 through 2012, reliability has improved so much that the top 20% of models available in 2003 would fall to the bottom 20% in 2012.”

In regards to the driving experience, new car models are sporting all sorts of new features to improve the driving experience. According to a 2015 study by Nielsen, vehicle to driver communication is the most popular feature for connected drivers. Other popular features include voice activated controls, internet-enabled navigation, personal assistant service, vehicle internet connectivity, and vehicle mobile applications.

As more and more vehicles tout a range of exciting features, better safety, and the next best thing in car design, manufacturers and dealers will need to compete on a different sphere – the customer experience.

The customer experience is increasingly becoming an important factor as consumers choose between brands. According to a study by Walker, the customer experience is so important that by 2020, it is expected to overtake price and product as the key competitive differentiator.

Here are three innovative ways to improve the customer experience for your customers and prospects:

AICEX: Il discorso fila bene in ambito Digital, ma quando parliamo di interazioni fisiche il discorso è meno immediato.

posted in Customer Journey, Digital, Marketing

Under the impact of digital advancements and technological opportunities, consumer decision-making journey has been rapidly changed towards higher level of complexity and cross-channel options. During recent years, while researchers have still been trying to map and explain multi-channel journey (Wolny and Charoensuksai, 2014), relatively new term “omni-channel” has appeared with the support of latest technology and widely discussed in marketing practitioners around the world (Rigby, 2011; Fluss, 2014). Both terms lead to corresponding marketing approaches of multi-channel and omni-channel marketing. In an effort to understand the difference between these approaches, I started wondering whether it is necessary for marketers to separate two terms anymore in the context of constantly evolving technology because multi-channel marketing will soon disappear and be completely replaced by the more valuable omni-channel marketing.

AICEX: I trend 7, 12, 15 li sposiamo, ma sul 9 abbiamo qualche riserva : )

The most successful weapon to fight customer attrition is creating a personalized customer experience that is unique to your business and the individual customer. According to Accenture, the “Switching Economy” is up 29 percent since 2010 as companies struggle to keep up with the non-stop customer. Does the loyal customer still exist? The answer is yes.

The Customer Experience trends for 2016 are:
