Balancing a consumer-first digital marketplace with value-delivering customer experiences

As the face of retail changes in every industry, many digital marketplaces are thriving by delivering the frictionless, convenient and relevant experiences that consumers have come to expect. With the rise of machine learning, AI and real-time personalization, marketplaces like Cars.com have become critical in the shopping journey and preferred over the in-store experience for many. But marketplaces walk a fine line between consumer-first development that rewards users with optimal mobile-first experiences and value-driving solutions that convert for paying customers. This is especially true in industries like automotive where the stakes are high with big-ticket purchases and online transacting is in its infancy. Learn how Cars.com finds the balance by creating crave-worthy experiences that meet the needs of both sides of its marketplace.

CASE STUDY CarMax Breaks Down Silos to Provide Customers with A Seamless Omni-Channel Experience

CarMax, a high-integrity customer experience brand known for disrupting the automotive industry, is transforming the customer journey. Over a period of 18 months, the nation’s largest retailer of used cars is transitioning from a 200+ store brick and mortar brand to a full omni-channel retailer complete with delivering cars to customers’ homes. Creating a seamless, omnichannel experience for such a complex customer purchase presents a unique set of challenges – particularly when it comes to modernizing internal technology systems. In order to succeed, CarMax had to reimagine its innovation approach, expediting the process and creating new customer-centric technologies.

This discussion will address:

  • CarMax’s use of Product Teams organized around the customer journey to break down the silos between online and in-store experiences.
  • The core product development values and principles the company leveraged to drive a culture of innovation and guide effective product development (dual track agile, outcome orientation and market testing approach).

Specific product development examples and lessons learned:

  • New progression technologies developed to create a seamless experience between the customers’ web activities, on-demand support provided by remote contact centers, and store employee interactions.
  • New Home Delivery product to allow customers to buy a car from home, tested first in one market and the company is now scaling nationwide

How Messaging is Transforming CX Across the Customer Journey – from RCS, WhatsApp, Apple Business Chat and more, Priority Messaging Channels are Enabling Conversational Services and Experiences.

Customer experience (CX) has become a significant differentiator in driving acquisition, retention and growth—helping to deliver a competitive edge for businesses. In this battle of CX, the driving force giving enterprises the edge is convenience. Case in point, more consumers now prefer to message a business because doing so is convenient and efficient.

In today’s convenience economy, businesses must focus on enabling two-way, inbound and out-bound messaging to satisfy consumer desire to use their favorite digital channels to interact, self-serve, and transact on demand—all without having to speak to someone.

Learn how businesses are successfully using messaging-based automation to champion customer convenience across leading messaging channels—including RCS, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp—and how their omnichannel approach is driving results. We’ll showcase how these new messaging capabilities are transforming the customer experience across the customer journey and highlight how these interactions become even more powerful through AI-powered personalization.

CASE STUDY CarMax Breaks Down Silos to Provide Customers with A Seamless Omni-Channel Experience

CarMax, a high-integrity customer experience brand known for disrupting the automotive industry, is transforming the customer journey. Over a period of 18 months, the nation’s largest retailer of used cars is transitioning from a 200+ store brick and mortar brand to a full omni-channel retailer complete with delivering cars to customers’ homes. Creating a seamless, omnichannel experience for such a complex customer purchase presents a unique set of challenges – particularly when it comes to modernizing internal technology systems. In order to succeed, CarMax had to reimagine its innovation approach, expediting the process and creating new customer-centric technologies.

This discussion will address:

  • CarMax’s use of Product Teams organized around the customer journey to break down the silos between online and in-store experiences.
  • The core product development values and principles the company leveraged to drive a culture of innovation and guide effective product development (dual track agile, outcome orientation and market testing approach).

Specific product development examples and lessons learned:

  • New progression technologies developed to create a seamless experience between the customers’ web activities, on-demand support provided by remote contact centers, and store employee interactions.
  • New Home Delivery product to allow customers to buy a car from home, tested first in one market and the company is now scaling nationwide

How Messaging is Transforming CX Across the Customer Journey – from RCS, WhatsApp, Apple Business Chat and more, Priority Messaging Channels are Enabling Conversational Services and Experiences.

Customer experience (CX) has become a significant differentiator in driving acquisition, retention and growth—helping to deliver a competitive edge for businesses. In this battle of CX, the driving force giving enterprises the edge is convenience. Case in point, more consumers now prefer to message a business because doing so is convenient and efficient.

Learn how businesses are successfully using messaging-based automation to champion customer convenience across leading messaging channels—including RCS, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp—and how their omnichannel approach is driving results. We’ll showcase how these new messaging capabilities are transforming the customer experience across the customer journey and highlight how these interactions become even more powerful through AI-powered personalization.
