The Customer: The Customer Experience (Cambridge Marketing Guides Book 4) (English Edition)

The customer has always been at the heart of marketing. Knowledge and understanding of customer behaviour and changing needs and wants provides the essential basis of a market orientation. Today marketers not only need to consider how best to meet their customers’ requirements, but understand their expectations and provide consistent customer experience. This Guide looks at different types of customers and organisational contexts; it considers how to identify customer expectations and the importance of customer satisfaction and loyalty; and assesses the importance and role of brands and consumer behaviour theory in relation to expectations. It unpacks the different dimensions of customer experience, looks at customer experience design and frameworks, and activities that enhance the customer experience. Finally, it looks at how to measure and monitor customer experience including relevant measures, metrics and research and how to use that information to improve the experience in the future.
