According to Gartner for research and technology consulting, 80% of organizations expect to compete primarily based on customer experience. And here we ask the question that we want a real answer to: Did the customer feel that they were taken care of? In other words, did the customer really get an excellent experience?

Between feeling and interaction

Customer experience (CX) refers to how a company interacts with its customers across every aspect of the buying journey - from marketing to sales to customer service and everything that happens in between. And in another way, it's the sum total of all of a customer's interactions with your brand.

To move the idea from the realm of feeling to the realm of realization to obtain positive interaction from customers' perceptions of you and what you offer, which leads to increased customer loyalty, retention, and ultimately gaining their support in the long term. And when implementing a good event from inception to closing, this leads to achieving a positive return on investment (ROI) by creating lists of potential customers and deepening relationships with existing customers, partners and supporters who represent the first pillar to achieve sustainable growth in the company, as attracting a new customer costs five times the cost of retaining a customer current according to Forbes magazine.

A connected and personalized customer experience can be delivered across all marketing, sales and customer service touchpoints, and through Customer relationship management CRM, but the thing that constitutes a real challenge in the field of implementing events, conferences, exhibitions and all events is asking the appropriate question to your customer in the right way, and being consistent with all their perceptions, expectations and needs in an easy language, which ensures that the customers reach their target audience and achieves their strategic goals for the event.

The customer's experience at the event itself

The client’s experience in the field of events industry is not limited to the client of the institution only, but extends to its influence on the visitors in the event itself, the client who chose you as the company organizing the event, to unite with them as one entity and arm all the tools, equipment, technology, manpower and all the resources they need in obtaining an integrated visitor experience. One of the best ways to improve the customer experience is to collect feedback and put it into practice since the beginning of the announcement of the event. And it is considered one of the methods in which the audience feels satisfaction and actual interest because we link their sense of achievement, and turn the unknown and vague for them into a clear path in all the details of the event, and thus turn their feeling into a positive interaction that brings success and positive financial returns to all parties and motivates them to return again to visit the each edition of the event .
