Customer Journey Mapping
A visual representation of every touchpoint a customer has with your brand from first awareness to post-purchase.
Why It Matters
Journey maps reveal friction points, gaps in communication, and opportunities to improve the customer experience.
How It Works
You document each interaction a customer has across all channels (website, email, social, support), noting their goals, emotions, and pain points at each step. This map guides strategy decisions about content, automation, and channel investment.
Real-World Example
A SaaS company maps the journey and discovers users who don't complete onboarding within 3 days are 5x more likely to churn.
Common Mistakes
Mapping the ideal journey instead of the real one
Creating a journey map once and never updating it
