What do you do when you have to buy something—not the
everyday, mundane stuff, but bigger investments like gadgets, appliances, or
even designer apparel? You browse, taking your time making your choice, read
reviews, talk to friends and family, go on to their website, social channels,
etc.
Every consumer like you has a wide range of people and
platforms that influence them. So what makes them choose one brand over other? What
do they ultimately buy? It’s the experience. In partnership
with a digital marketing agency in India, here are some things that a
brand needs to keep in mind if they want to build compelling experiences:
Identify and profile
your customer
Of course, all brands have an identified target audience.
But how well do they know their customer? Detail out their likes, dislikes,
preferences.
Find out where they
have their conversations
Not every social media platform is for everyone. Where does
your target audience hang out? Where are they the most receptive to your
messages? Where can you create maximum engagements with them?
Make it personal,
make it real
It is very easy for a brand to become impersonal and forget
how interactive social media is. It is also easy to forget that on each side of
the conversation are real people. Their responses are guided by human insights.
And that is what a brand must remember. Talk to customers knowing that they are
real people. Then design experiences based on those insights.
Keep it seamless
Another mistake that brands often make is to look at various
customer touch-points in a disjointed way, driving different messages on
different platforms. It doesn’t matter what medium you choose, there needs to
be a seamless experience that the customer gets.
Often people approach digital marketing in a
completely different way than other mediums of communication. Digital is
segment of the whole. Brands need to remember that insights and experiences
need to be the same across. And they need to leave a lingering impact.
