Customer Experience encompasses all interactions a customer has with a company, from the initial awareness stage to post-purchase support. It can be influenced by various factors including the quality of product/service, ease of access to information, customer service, and feedback mechanisms. A positive CX can lead to customer loyalty, increased advocacy, and higher lifetime value, while a negative experience can deter potential customers and damage reputation. Companies strive to optimize CX by focusing on customer feedback, personalized interactions, and addressing pain points in the customer journey.
