Beyond Customer Experience… Love is a Verb!
Brands have always sought better connections with their customers. However many have misinterpreted repeat purchase as loyalty. True loyalty is emotive, a brand or business with whom I have shared values.
In this session we are going to explore Customer Intimacy, the space beyond Customer Experience. Intimacy is far deeper, longer lasting and more meaningful than any fleeting experience. We will also examine the shift from Passive to Active consumerism, Collaboration and what this means for Retail.
