Customer Experience – How to set it right?

The last 5 years have proved to be a transcendental era for consumer internet in the digital world. Since E-commerce biggies prioritized user-ratings, high-ticket products started selling. As a result, recommendations got filtered and ratings started getting influenced by personal circumstances (customer experience). With this digitization, the Internet soon became the place where the actual democratization of knowledge happened.
What changed? E-commerce, food delivery, cab-hailing, and digital payments all consequently came at the top of consumer internet pyramid, where the user’s ability to pay, evidently lies. This was a result of:
(a) The rising smartphone penetration facilitated companies to access and communicate with customers.
(b) Demographic dividend- 65% of India’s population is below 35 years of age who are active internet users.
Companies are now dealing with a more knowledgeable customer base. A transfer of power happened which directly influences big purchasing decisions. We are living in an era, where the consumer is the king. The influence on consumers is not confined to the brand image which is being projected glamorously. Instead, effective and satisfying end-to-end consumer experience that provides them with an immediate solution is what defines the image of a brand these days.
