Simply ensuring that some steps in your customer journey are digital isn’t enough. The rapid pace of technological development means that an effective digital customer experience strategy learns from and adapts to the latest trends to continually deliver the best results. A strategic approach is truly omnichannel, requiring businesses to integrate all of their digital channels, from their website, app, email campaigns, social media platforms, to chatbots, and live chats. This leads to the development of an obstruction-free and cohesive experience for customers across the board.<\/p>\n

Establishing an effective digital CX strategy<\/h2>\n

As discussed in our preceding post<\/a> in this series, an effective digital customer experience strategy is focused mainly on ensuring that digital touchpoints in the customer journey function effectively and create meaningful differentiation.<\/p>\n

Remember, it only takes one dysfunctional touchpoint to derail the entire customer journey<\/a>. On the flipside, a single unique digital touchpoint can also jet-propel a brand into the stratosphere. So, with that said, let\u2019s get to the latest trends in digital customer experience strategy.<\/p>\n

Top 7 digital customer experience trends<\/h2>\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning<\/a> (ML) are technology-centric drivers that create a more personalized CX by injecting humanity into the content. Did you know 63% of consumers<\/a> interacting with chatbots have no idea they\u2019re in the middle of an AI-driven conversation? And with AI advances, that metric grows higher daily. I bring this up first because all the trends emerging in the customer experience strategy space have AI steering the technology to an extent. Moreover, Fortune 500 enterprises are no longer the only ones that can afford purpose-structured software; it\u2019s affordable to SMBs and even startups now.<\/p>\n

If you want to derive the very best that AI technology offers to bolster your digital CX strategy, consider the following incredible benefits of the top trends in AI-driven CX today:<\/p>\n

Predictive personalization is an extraordinary AI technology feature where the digital customer experiences are aligned around real-time buying behavior patterns of customers, making for highly relevant brand recommendations. AI has the uncanny ability to align with customers’ wants and desires at the speed of light, nudging customers for relevant deals and even the right times to reorder.<\/p>\n

2. Omnichannel optimization<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

AI empowers omnichannel optimization by making sense of gigantic data volumes that would ordinarily take humans weeks to wade through. Indeed, the Fortune 1,000 enterprises agree<\/a>, with 999 in the category admitting they invest in AI technologies to maximize data analytics and transform the omnichannel experiences they deliver.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

3. Chatbot-powered efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Businesses are reaping the benefits of AI with improved chatbot technology. Chatbots originally started as a quirky edition to create audience attention with something different. At first, they were capable of only a few limited actions that were often faulty, creating more consumer frustration than anything else. However, today they’re a mainstream technological tool.<\/p>\n

Why such a turnaround? AI innovations have expanded chatbot capabilities beyond expectations. Consider the following:<\/p>\n
