Customer experience in retail and e-commerce

Retail CX is evolving — convenience is king. With 71% of retail consumers dictating their brand loyalty, retail brands need to focus on CX to build their customer base. The race is on to please consumers, and the only way to cross the finish line first is by offering customers what they want, how they want it and when they want it.
