touchpoint?
Customer touchpoints are your points of customer contact from start to finish. Customers may find your business online or in an ad, see ratings and reviews, visit your website, shop at your retail store, or contact your customer service. Collectively, touchpoints create the customer’s experience.
As your leads connect with your company during their buyer’s journey, how you craft your customer touchpoints can influence their buying decision.
Your brand may not be connecting with customers at each of the touchpoints identified in the infographic, and that’s okay. You just want to be sure that you’re making the most of the touchpoints your brand does use.
