Customer Journey Mapping Episode 5 - Why do we exit through the gift shop? with Jonathan Ping and John Barford
We've had a bit of a break but are back with a new series and this time we're looking at customer journey mapping. What is it? Why is it useful? When should I be working on it? All the important stuff gets discussed as we follow our customers through their journey to having a great experience in an attraction.
From buying tickets online and joining the queue to signing up for your newsletter and leaving a review, we look at all stages of the customer journey and what they meant to the wider business.
In this episode we are joined by Jonathan Ping and John Barford as we discuss the overarching ideas of Customer Journey Mapping as we attempt to answer the question - How do I leave the attraction satisfied in the money I have spent?
