20 Eye-Opening Statistics About Customer Experience

No industry is immune to digital transformation or competitive disruption, and every business is on the hook to deliver brilliant customer experiences (CX) to every customer, at every touchpoint. Businesses are integrating digital and personalization into their culture, processes, technologies, and customer-facing experiences. That’s because consumers (B2C) and business buyers (B2B) alike want to find companies that are easy to do business with. They’re looking for self-service, and consistent and personalized experiences at every stage of the customer lifecycle.

When it comes to the CX equation, just how important is it to have intelligent data? Consider these 20 stats from retail, banking, insurance, and healthcare industries.

• 80% of shoppers have used a mobile phone inside of a physical store, either to look up product reviews, compare prices, or find alternative store locations
• Statistics show that 40% of users will go to a competitor after a bad mobile experience—yet an alarming 84% have experienced difficulty completing a mobile transaction
• 33% of consumers who chose to end their relationship with a company last year did so because the experience wasn’t personalized enough
