Understanding the experiences and needs of your customers is instrumental in developing strategies that drive business growth. By mapping out the different stages of the customer journey, from initial awareness to post-purchase evaluation, you can gain insight into where customers may be experiencing pain points and where opportunities for improvement lie.
