7 Practical Customer Journey Examples + Free Template

customer journey examples

Carrying out your first Customer Journey is very difficult, even though you know the steps to follow to define it and capture it graphically. However, starting from a reference can make this process much easier.

This is why this time we want to share some customer journey examples to help you in your process of evaluating your customers’ experience.

The customer journey is a methodology used by many companies to understand the process that their customers go through when interacting with their brands. 

Representing it graphically and using the correct canvas allows each touchpoint to be evaluated and areas for improvement to be found to improve the experience offered.

In this article, we have compiled the best customer journey examples to help you define your own. You will find some that are more creative and others that are functional. Surely one of them will be able to inspire you in this process.

What is it and why should I use a Customer Journey Map?

A customer journey map (CJM) is a visual representation of all the steps and interactions that a potential consumer goes through during the purchase process. It can have different shapes. and canvas according to the needs of each company.

Mapping a customer journey allows you to represent all touchpoints not only to show them visually to all team members but also to take action on them.

The most common way is by evaluating each one of them. Today, most customer experience management platforms allow you to use these maps as a guide to launch evaluations and identify strong and weak areas in your business.

If you like reading about customer journey examples, you might find it interesting learning about Customer Journey vs Customer Experience.

Most common mistakes when drawing the customer journey

Not defining a clear objective. The first question you should ask yourself is why do I want to draw the customer journey? What goals do I intend to achieve and how am I going to quantify them?

Not having your customer persona well defined. You must go beyond traditional segmentation and fully understand what the motivations of customers and expectations are at all times.

Draw the customer journey according to your perception. It is very common for the owner of the process or responsible area, as the most knowledgeable about it, to help you with the customer journey. But that is a common mistake because the first thing to keep in mind is that the customer’s perception must be counted on at all times.

Create a customer journey for each area. Precisely, the client perceives his journey as unique and does not have to know if one phase depends on one department and the next on another.

Make it too complex. It should be avoided, especially at the beginning, making the drawing of the customer journey too complex. It must be easy to understand by all areas and employees involved. 

If you are on you’re way to start building your customer journey, you might find it useful to review the 10 best customer journey mapping tools.

Customer Journey Map Examples

Customer Journey maps take a wide variety of forms. Here are seven examples that we have selected for you.

Example 1: Digital Experiences Journey

This CJM example adopts a simple structure that only includes the crucial moments when marketing can exert its influence. The map outline portrays the key touch points of a fictional hot chocolate shop in a digital customer journey.

The map highlights the importance of identifying opportunities but also examining potential risks. It makes it easy to spot a customer’s ultimate marketing goal and how different marketing technologies affect buying behavior and purchase decisions.

Example 2: Health Insurance Customer Journey

The example of the customer journey map brings us closer to the CX strategy. The scheme forces even the world’s largest banks to focus on each customer.

The finance, insurance and banking sectors are crowded. Many companies compete for customers. Leveraging customer experience insights could set them apart from the competition. Improving the CX strategy and being customer-centric keeps them loyal.

Example 3: LEGO’s wheel of experience

It is a wheel of experiences created in a simple and exciting way to show the analysis of a flight to New York. The central part of the image mentions the characteristics of the person. The next circle has three experience levels before, during, and after the flight. Each step is also marked with an emotion that reflects positive, neutral, or negative shopping experiences.

Lego Customer Journey Example

This form of a map is a great approach to looking at the company’s product or service from the customer’s perspective.

Example 4: Car Buyer Journey

The map breaks down the methods customers use to find out when buying a vehicle and what factors are beneficial. 

The car buyer journey goes from the initial stage of research, to engagement, then experience (i.e, test drive), the purchase, and ending with the customer advocacy towards your vehicle brand.
