Good customer service has always been an important aspect of creating a successful business. But there are crucial differences between businesses that focus on good customer services and business who want to create a good customer experience. An experience business is one that makes it their mission to ensure that their customers have a positive association with their brand by making sure that every encounter an individual has with the brand is uniquely tailored to that individual’s preferences.
Take Uber for example. Human beings have been utilizing driving services for decades, but unlike taxis or buses, Uber has tailored their driving services to optimize their customers’ experience while riding in the car. Uber customers can choose the size of the car they wish to ride in. They can choose to ride alone or to carpool. They can choose the time that they want to be picked up. And most Uber drivers offer water to their passengers, allow them to choose the music played in the car, and some even offer passengers snacks and gum. Uber rides range from basic cars to luxury vehicles. And customers can pay for the service, rate the drive, and tip their driver all through an app on their phone. Uber’s strong focus on creating the most rewarding ride for their customers has proven a successful business model, as Uber services are now more popular than any other driving service. Any business in the 21st century that hopes to garner success must embrace the growing desire for individualized customer experience. Studying customers habits and maintaining positive and open relationships with customers will help businesses to understand the direction the customers want the brand to go in.[/norebro_text]
