Understanding Customer Journeys

A customer journey is defined as the path and perception that customers experience while striving to achieve a specific goal. There is a growing concern around the use of the term 'journey,' as it can be applied too broadly, leading to confusion between different processes such as campaigns or lifecycle events. Prioritizing customer journeys is crucial because it enables businesses to focus on what truly matters to their customers, rather than being overwhelmed by the multitude of journeys they might want to address. Establishing clarity on what a journey encompasses helps organizations align their strategies more effectively around customer needs.
