Customer experience is no longer just a buzzword. It’s become the foundation upon which companies practice their businesses. Brands that go the extra mile to make life easier for their customers have seen the immense payoff in the form of long-term customer loyalty. But adopting a few CX tactics isn’t enough to stay competitive. Organizations with exceptional customer support know this; they are constantly looking for opportunities to improve those precious interactions and create pleasant and memorable experiences.
The rules of customer experience have always stood true, but digital tools and resources have really levelled the playing field. You don’t need to go to Apple or Amazon for a standout shopping experience; authentic interactions can be won by local businesses or even non-profit organizations. If you ask us, that’s something worth celebrating. That’s why Fonolo is back with the 2022 Customer Experience Excellence Awards!
