Book The utilization of customer journey mapping in the automotive industry

Download or read book The utilization of customer journey mapping in the automotive industry written by Tobias Staudt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,2, Leipzig Graduate School of Management, course: Service Retail and Marketing, language: English, abstract: Commoditized products and volatile market environments frame the setting that companies are facing today. Thereby, the importance of differentiation as key to company’s growth is more relevant than ever. It is widely assumed that differentiation often refers to products or market positions. However, more recently, the concept of Experience Based Differentiation (EBD) emerged as an idea for companies to build sustainable relations and loyalty by delivering a superior, differentiated experience to customers. Managers have become increasingly aware that customers are their most valuable assets. However, pure Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is not sufficient anymore. Thus, Customer Experience Management (CEM) takes CRM to the next level by integrating customer experience (CEx) and emotions during interactions into consideration (Fatma 2014). Tracing the considerably increasing number of customer touch points and derive so called customer journey maps, helps companies to understand the broader reasons of performance gaps and thus address root causes. A recent study by McKinsey & Company (2013) revealed that companies that are able to map and optimize relevant customer journeys reinforce superior CEx, reduce churn and increase revenue, and, as a result, built sustainable relationships. In addition, greater employee satisfaction and an increased effectiveness of cross-functional collaborations have been observed. However, most companies fail to strategically align and manage the CEx across all touch points and miss a great opportunity to differentiate. This gives relevance to a study on the potential of Customer Journey Mapping (CJM), as a way for the marketing management to understand CEx during all interactions. In the process of the present work, the concepts of Customer Experience (CEx), Customer Experience Management (CEM), Customer Journeys (CJ), as well as Customer Journey Mapping (CJM) are important. Therefore, the basic idea of these concepts will be characterized and explained in this sub-chapter. The terms CEx and CEM have been introduced to the marketing management several years ago and have its roots in the concepts of service quality and customer service, which evolved during the eighties and nineties (Drotskiie, 2009, p. 363). Today, a common understanding of the frequently cited concept of CEx is “the user’s interpretation of his or her total interaction

Book The New Luxury Experience

Download or read book The New Luxury Experience written by Wided Batat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This professional book introduces marketing and luxury brand professionals to a new definition of luxury and the art of designing the ultimate luxury experience in both the physical space (e.g., in-store, hotel, restaurant) and the digital space (e.g., social media, website, e-commerce). Specifically, it offers an overview of customer experience issues and explores big five experiential strategies that can be applied by luxury houses in order to provide the best luxury experience to their customers. Themes such as quality of customer luxury experience, immersion and co-production/co-creation in luxury, creation and management, digital and immersive marketing, and innovative market research are also examined. How do consumers define luxury? Is there one luxury or several “luxuries”? What kind of luxury experiences consumers want to live? How can luxury houses design the ultimate luxury experience? More than in any other sector, luxury consumption is a response to a search for emotions, pleasure, uniqueness, consideration and greatest services. The luxury consumer wants to live luxury experiences – not just buy luxury products or services. In this way, this book presents the luxury consumption experience as a combination of symbolic meaning, subconscious processes and nonverbal cues and characterized by fantasies, feelings and fun. Featuring case studies and interviews from international luxury sectors and brand managers such as Burberry, Dior, Porsche, Breitling, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, and Louis Vuitton, among others, this book offers both a research and management perspective on luxury experience to professionals in the luxury sector (e.g., CEOs, brand managers, marketing and communication professionals), as well as marketing professors, students, and people eager to learn more about how to design the ultimate luxury experience. Praise for The New Luxury Experience “This book provides a holistic perspective on marketing of luxury brands, offering both useful practical advice as well as illustrating important cases.” -- Ravi Dhar, Director, Yale Center for Customer Insights, Yale University “Wided Batat’s book offers a fresh, insightful and comprehensive analysis of the concept of the consumer’s experience with luxury whatever that may be. The Five experiential luxury strategies proposed by Wided highlight that luxury management should go above and beyond the design and branding of luxury goods and services. I also commend the consideration given to the younger generations’ approach to luxury and to corporate social responsibility aspects. Luxury marketers should find this book very useful indeed.” -- Francesca Dall’Olmo Riley, Professor of Brand Management, Kingston Business School, UK
