Do your brand's online and offline experiences meet consumer expectations? Customers today are not seeking singular experiences. They are open to switching between digital, virtual, and in-person touchpoints. This adaptability in their preferences underscores the need for your business to be equally flexible and responsive. To achieve this synergy, brands must understand how to develop an omnichannel approach to building a holistic but nuanced customer experience. We call it "Glocalization"—the fanfare of a global brand specifically tailored to local audiences. Louis Vuitton's approach to the Chinese market is an excellent example of brands aligning their touchpoints well. To start considering how you design aligned experiences, you must return to your strategy and customer profiles. Ask yourself: -What does a global customer journey look like? -And how is that nuanced by location? #CustomerExperience #BrandStrategy #Jewelry #Gemstones #Diamonds
