What is a Customer Journey?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Customer Journey<\/a> is a process used to describe the different stages a customer goes through to purchase a product or service. The five most common stages a customer goes through during this process are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Awareness:<\/b> This refers to when a potential consumer first becomes aware of your product through various advertisements or word of mouth. Here they recognize they might need your product or service.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Consideration: <\/b>Through customer testimonials, blog posts, and social media, consumers compare and decide if your product is better than similar products and if they would like to buy what they need through your company.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Purchase: <\/b>Ultimately, customers decide whether to buy from your company or use another company’s products based on their research.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Retention:<\/b> In this stage, it is key that your company has a customer success<\/a> team to give a post-sales service. This could translate into actions such as offering resources for free to your clients, having a <\/span>customer loyalty program<\/span><\/a> in place and touching base with your customer to see if everything is working well with them and your product.     <\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Customer<\/a><\/strong> advocacy<\/a>: <\/b>If you\u2019ve done well in previous steps of the <\/span>customer journey<\/span><\/a>, when you send a customer satisfaction survey, there\u2019s a good chance for your customers to post positive reviews or recommend their products to others, so the customer journey cycle continues. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    You can represent the five stages, or similar ones, on a map that you can use as a visual representation of the buying process during various touchpoints, such as social media, your website, or even a phone call. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
