Defining CEM
Dear sam,

CEM is about Brand. Only when you're branded, you could differentiate. Only when you're differentiated, you could have loyalty. There are three elements required for branded customer experience: the peak & end (most memorable) experiences, brand values and consumer needs. To optimize the branded experience, you have to deliver your most unique brand values and meet (exceed) the most critical needs and expectations of your target customers by peak & end experiences.

The challenge of customer service nowadays is good service is not enough, you need differentiated (branded) service. The experience - based differentiation allows you to control the definition of good experience or service, direct and educate the expectations of your target customers. You define your own standards. You create your own blue ocean with unique branded customer experience. You escape from the red ocean of trying to please your customers with the standards being set and manipulated by others. Then you can improve brand equity (values of your brand) and customer equity (values out of each customer).
