Journey Maps To Enhance Customer Experience ​
​​According to Forrester, 75% of customers in the US use at least more than two channels while interacting with a brand. ​Today it is vital to create the right experience for the customer across all touch points. ​Digital and non-digital channels complement each other.​A single design for multiple channels adapted for various screen sizes may not be optimal. The need is to contextualize, be more targeted and relevant across channels for various situations. ​Most enterprises overlook in-depth usage and fail to empathize with their customers. ​Creating journey maps is a way to capture the customer’s thought process while purchasing a product. It helps define the strategy and user experience for the product across all touch  points.   ​Source: Forrester

UK  Consumer Smartphones Usage  Habits 
Smartphones Are Now The UK’s Preferred Device For 
​Accessing The Internet
Smartphones are the preferred source of the internet for users Britons are no longer flipping open their laptop to access the internet – they’re using their smartphones. Handheld devices have now overtaken laptops as the preferred way to go online in Britain, with a third of those polled by telecoms regulator Ofcom choosing the former and 30 per cent choosing the latter. In 2014, 40 percent of Britons preferred to use a laptop and just 22 per cent a smartphone. The dramatic increase in internet usage on smartphones has been put down to the jump in superfast mobile broadband subscriptions and the increased take-up of iPhones, Androids and other similar devices. Ofcom revealed that people are also on the internet longer. Smartphone users spend just under two hours every day on average browsing the web, and a third of  smartphone users turn to their device within five minutes of waking up. While the power balance between laptops and smartphones teetered, the trusty television remained the source of most people’s entertainment needs. Britons watched three hours and 40 minutes of broadcast TV each day, only 11 minutes less than they did a year ago.​Source: Metro News UK 

​​​Smartphone Web Use Overtakes Laptops
Smartphones have edged ahead of laptops for the first time as the preferred devices for connecting online in the UK, according to a report by Ofcom. The communications watchdog said 33% of Britons opted for smartphones as their device of choice in 2014, while just 30% preferred laptops. Source BBC News UK
