The heart of a customer journey map revolves around a specific customer persona. You’re essentially mapping their unique experience. This journey is then divided into distinct stages, like becoming aware of your brand, considering your offering, making a purchase, using your product and becoming an advocate. Each touchpoint encapsulates a stage of customer interaction, including your website, social media, advertisements and customer service. You’ll also want to map actions they might want to take at each stage, like browsing your website, researching features, making a purchase or contacting support. Finally, a great customer journey map captures the emotional journey as well. What might your customer be thinking and feeling at each touchpoint? Are they excited, confused, or frustrated?
