“How an experience makes customers feel has a bigger influence on their loyalty to a brand than effectiveness or
easy in nearly every industry.”
Brands that want to break away from the pack should focus on emotions
Conversion rates can’t measure customer experience
Experiences exist in a customer’s mind
One single experience is made up of an infinite amount of smaller experiences
The remembering self decides which of those experiences we will remember based
on two factors: final experience and emotional intensity
Takeaway: stop thinking conversion, start thinking experience
“70% of our day to day interactions are based almost entirely on non-verbal signals”

Your interactions & movements online reflect your state of mind.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“The results were very clear: significant shifts in favorable behaviors such as more mindful interactions, as well as sizable decreases in visitors who displayed a lack of interest.
These amazing results are a great validation of why it’s important to combine psychological research and data science for an optimum customer experience.”
Summary
The longtime relationship with your customers is determined by the amount of positive experiences they have on your site.
To succeed in the digital world, we need to think about HOW the visitors are interacting and not Whether they converted.
