Introduction

There is an increase in focus on “customer experience” as a source of competitive advantage. Organizations and customers interact through a wide variety of physical, online, and mobile channels during various stages of the customer journey (before, during, and after purchase). Importantly, all these interactions need to be managed as marketing managers need to develop and sustain consistent brand experiences across these channels. 
This course introduces you to the field of customer experience management. We will discuss what customer experiences and customer experience management actually are and which insights organizations need to collect. We will also illustrate how organizations can optimize the customer journey, outline how servicescapes/experiencescapes can support the customer experience, and finally, demonstrate how adopting a customer experience management logic requires the entire organization to become more customer centric.
