Consumers have almost too many options when it comes to making a purchase. Multiple companies offer the same item at similar prices, so how does one choose? Often, it comes down to customer experience (CX).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people would rather do business with a company that offers an exceptional customer experience, regardless of the price. Excellent CX leads to loyal customers who\u2019ll stick with you, and are worth an <\/span>average of 2.5X more revenue<\/span><\/a> than new ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses can transform their CX by using behavioral data to enable personalized interactions, proactive problem solving, and strategic decision making. Everyone from marketing to sales to product development can use that data to enhance CX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As more data is shared online between services, apps, and platforms, businesses should be using it more effectively to <\/span>create better CX<\/span><\/a> for people, as it can make a significant difference to their bottom line. Here\u2019s how you can do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding online behavioral data<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

Online behavioral data refers to the digital footprint people leave behind online, including site visits, app usage, purchase histories, social media engagement, and abandoned shopping carts. These behavioral touchpoints reveal people\u2019s preferences, habits, and pain points. Smart businesses use this information to update CX through personalization, predictive analytics, and updated features or products. Consumers expect this level of personalization today, with <\/span>nearly 60% of consumers<\/span><\/a> believing businesses should use the data they collect about them to personalize their experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The business case for behavioral data in customer experience<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

The primary benefit of using behavioral data in CX is to gain a deeper understanding of your customers and audience. You\u2019ll learn their preferences, habits, challenges, and tendencies, all of which can help inform your customer-facing touchpoints more effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enhance engagement with targeted messaging, as you\u2019ll understand how users interact most frequently with your content. For example, combining EASI demographic data about a geography with internally-gathered data of distribution channels can help you determine which groups are more likely to prefer social media to email or a chatbot to a customer support phone call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Product management and development teams can utilize behavioral information to introduce new features without needing to directly solicit feedback from users. An EASI ring study can give you information about consumers in a specific area and your customer success questions can guide you in developing new products or features. Delight them with something they didn\u2019t even realize they needed by simply observing their behavior and designing an improvement.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only will existing customers enjoy the new features or products, but you\u2019ll probably stay ahead of the competition because of it. People will flock to your brand and products because they\u2019ll hear the positive feedback from those you\u2019ve interacted with.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Positive sentiment fosters loyalty in existing customers and demonstrates to your audience as a whole that you\u2019re worthy of becoming their vendor too. You\u2019ll develop higher lifetime value across customers, reduce the cost of finding new ones, and stay ahead of competition and consumer changes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Practical applications: transforming CX with behavioral insights<\/span><\/i><\/h2>\n

Here are a few ways today\u2019s modern businesses can <\/span>use behavioral data<\/span><\/a> to enhance CX across their business.<\/span><\/p>\n
