In industries whereby customers have a choice of where to make their purchase, those companies who invest in improving customer experience and differentiating themselves from their competition, enjoyed much more revenue growth than those who chose not to invest in the customer.
In the retail industry, those companies who also invest in an online presence, also enjoyed a higher percentage revenue growth, according to the report.
Amazon is definitely a brand that springs to mind when thinking about customer and digital experience excellence, and again Amazon’s credentials are used in this years Forrester’s report. Amazon’s revenue growth over a 5 year period in the US is a massive 27.7%.
Argos have made huge steps to recover their brand presence in the retail market place by adding digital as a route to market. In fact, before Argos developed their digital proposition, the brand as a whole looked very much in danger of disappearing altogether, like so many UK high street retailers have done in recent years.

Delivering continuous improvements and remaining innovative to keep pace with the expectations of customers and their journeys is now a significant challenge for operational Leaders.
