Customer experience to harvest higher customer lifetime value

1 December 2022 Posted by Yvette Plaisier Strategic innovation

Turning averagely-engaged customers into highly-engaged customers, can triple a company’s annual topline. You don’t need to look for a stronger argument to relentlessly look for new ways to boost engagement. Especially in a periods of crisis, when it might be difficult to launch entirely new value propositions, it’s highly rewarding to screen for impactful customer experience improvements.

customer experience for higher lifetime value

Adapting to the new market reality

75% of customers admit that they’re more likely to buy from a company that continues to address their needs, and they’re even willing to pay more for a better experience. Customer experience (CX) plays an essential part in the buying process, and if customer behavior changes, you should change with them. This impacts both your business model and target market and challenges you to keep up with the always-connected and ever-changing customer and remain relevant throughout the entire journey. Take for example a customer in a retail shop. Before making the purchase, they can easily look up the product online to find better offers. How do you deal with this, or even play into this? This is where new (digital) technologies can give you more detailed insights to continue increasing customer lifetime value.

Expanding your buyer persona

With a constrained development budget, it would be an absolute waste to dive into digital or physical feature development before understanding which experience you want to deliver. A success factor to effectively identify monetizable CX options is to go beyond the persona you already know: map out which other users, influencers, and advisors are involved and in which needs are underserved. If you look at professional construction devices for instance, you should take into consideration the drive towards the lower total cost of ownership for a large contracting company (e.g. energy usage and traceability), on top of the traditional usage features (e.g. drilling performance and cordless).
