Customer Journeys is the next stage of customer digital interactions.
Expecting your existing customers to instantly take a cross-sell and up-sell offer as soon as its presented to them is unrealistic. Low response rates are testament to that. Instead "nudges" should be applied. This is where "awareness" and "consideration" interactions are applied.
A method of showing propositions (service messages, cross or up-sell sell ads) to the customer in a predetermined but flexible order.
It recognises the need to provide awareness before displaying a relevant ‘call-to-action’ Message such as sales or renewal.
