This research examines the correlation between customer experience and the likelihood of consumers to exhibit the following behaviors: purchase more products or services, recommend a company, forgive a company, trust a company, or try a company’s new product or service.
- Data Snapshot: What Happens After a Bad Experience, 2019. This research shows how often consumers run into bad experiences and then examines how consumer spending changes based on those miscues.
The graphics below from The ROI of Customer Experience show a strong correlation between good customer experience and improved levels of consumer loyalty. While these graphics cover some of the overall findings, the report also includes data showing the impact of CX on loyalty for 20 industries.
The graphics below are from the Data Snapshot: What Happens After a Bad Experience, 2019. As you can see, the percentage of consumers reporting bad experiences ranges from a high of 17% for TV/Internet service providers to a low of 3% for retail and streaming media. We also found that the impact that a bad experience has on spending is greatest in fast food and smallest in health insurance and utilities.
The bottom line: If you improve CX, you’re very likely to improve customer loyalty.
