There’s been a major disruption in consumer marketing in recent years. With DVR to fast forward through commercials and ad blockers on the internet, brands needed another way to reach consumers. Celebrity endorsements have been around as early as the 1920s, and have gained new traction in the age of social media. With social media, celebrities are able to interact with, and influence, their fan base directly.

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to visit Kyoto in Japan for a holiday. Being a customer experience specialist means never quite leaving work behind, even on holiday, and I wanted to find out whether the customer experience in Kyoto would be different to anywhere else. Kyoto is a wonderful place. Although much less densely populated than Tokyo or London, it attracts around 50 million tourists each year.

Times are changing, and the way people make buying decisions is radically different from how it was a few decades ago. Companies can no longer rely on having satisfied customers to ensure that they stay in business. Customers expect exemplary service, and offering anything less will turn them away. Satisfied customers do not complain – which is all very well, but it means you won’t get crucial feedback.

Sadly though, even today there are brands that think that it is just a buzz that will die with time. I, however, believe that customer experience is becoming a part of the boardroom discussion in companies. Looking at the Google search trend also reinforces my confidence in the fact that customer experience will only become more significant and popular in the coming years.
