Why Retailers Shouldn’t Ignore the Post-Purchase Experience for their Customers

Where does the customer journey end for your business - with the sale? More and more retailers are realizing the post-purchase experience is equally important for repeat business and customer retention. Neglecting the post-purchase process can be a missed opportunity for a positive brand touch point. This interaction can help deepen your relationship with your customer, increase your net promoter score, and ultimately lead to greater customer retention.

Many business studies have found that acquiring a new customer is up to 25 times more expensive than maintaining your current customers. If your business can find a way to improve the customer experience beyond the status quo, there’s a huge opportunity for a closer, mutually beneficial partnership that can last for years into the future.

Improving this experience however, requires that retailers have a technology solution that can keep pace with services offered by the competition while also possessing the flexibility and extensibility to be customized to meet your business’s needs. To that end, Vision33 has developed portal products in support of the post-purchase process that act as gateways to connect the enterprise with the outside world remotely through a mobile device.
