Lecture 1
Customer journey
It has become increasingly complex for firms to manage the customers' experience and
journeys.
→ In a customer journey analysis, firms focus on how customers interact with mul>ple
points, moving from considera>on, search, and purchase to post-purchase, consump>on,
and future engagement or repurchase.
Channels = customer contact points or the mediums through which the firm and the
customer interact (exclude one-way interac>on).
Touchpoints = all types of one-way or two-way interac>ons between customers and firms. →
involve any transac>onal or informa>onal exchange. Including customer-to-
customer interac>ons.
Touchpoints- alterna5ve classifica5ons
ZMOT = Zero Moments of Truth. Refers to the moment in the buying process when the
consumer researches a product prior purchase (e.g. going to the store, get
more informa>on, look for discounts, compare brands).

influencing a customer’s decision.
