Branded Customer Experience

Positioning and promoting a distinctive brand promise is not enough. Companies must also deliver on it. The proof of the brand is in the customers' experience. What a company promise is either confirmed or denied in every interaction.
Companies audit their financial records - but they rarely audit their brand experiences. The Branded Customer Experience assessment  allows companies to gain insight into the collective experiences of the brand.


Key issues addressed
Without knowing the optimal brand experience levels for the customer base, business strategy and competitive conditions may actually lead companies  to misdirect investments in improvements that do not drive financial growth. By doing a thorough assessment of how the  brand promise is delivered across all customer touch points   ICM Advisors can help companies optimize the customer experience to maximize business results. That means "operationalizing the brand" — translating the brand promise  communicated to the public into operational reality in order to create satisfied, loyal and profitable customer advocates.

 
Approach
Our Branded Customer Experience service is developed with the following steps:

  • Experience  Assessment
  • Experience Design
  • Experience Implementation
  • Experience Monitoring & Control
ICM Advisors has developed a Customer Experience Index (CEXI©)  jointly with TCSG (TreCentoSessantaGradi)  a marketing and sales consulting firm specialized in Mystery Shopping and Customer Experience improvements programs.
CEXI provides a numeric grade for the critical experience touch-points considered most important to consumer cluster (experiential needs, wants & lifestyle).


CEXI
is applied to measure the Customer Experience at the various touch-points such as:

  • Pre-purchase experience touch-points:
    • Advertising
    • Direct Marketing
    • Word-of-mouth
    • WEB
    • Phone
    • e-mail
  • Purchase experience touch-points 
    • Courteous, knowledgeable staff
    • Merchandising
    • In-stock availability
    • Interior design
    • Store orderliness
    • Convenient hours
  • Post-purchase experience touch-points
    • Customer recourse policy & process
    • Warranty/rebate
    • Reminders
    • Surveys
