What’s the real cost of better digital experiences today?

Ever wish you could go back to a simpler time? People who had businesses back before the internet were interested in providing a great customer experience, but it was all pretty straightforward. The customer had only a few touch points with the business — face to face, phone or mail – and the successful businesses put their organization’s best foot forward to create a great impression.

The cost to create multi-channel digital experiences

Now, it’s tricky. If you do business online, you need to worry about the full range of your visitors’ digital customer experiences.  Every digital touch point – you need to be awesome! This includes all web and mobile interactions, but also kiosks, IoT devices, wearables as well as the many other points of communication still in development.

And tricky can also mean costly. With so many channels it becomes harder and harder to create memorable, consistent impressions on each one. Supporting personalized content on so many channels can often sap internal resources. And if you don’t get it right everywhere, users may find themselves looking elsewhere.

What if you could create, manage and deliver engaging and personalized multi-channel experiences with a single digital experience platform? And what if that digital experience platform could not only integrate your efforts to provide customer-centric experiences, but also set your organization on the road to greater productivity?  Well, we have some facts to help illustrate the potential upside!
