Excerpt from the Book
Customer experience and service experience
There are so many companies that acknowledge their customers are the most important valuable asset they have or they still want to claim customer is king. But who does really give a great customer experience. If potential customers can choose between two brands with the same quality and same price they will choose the product where they have the better customer experience. But if companies have prices which are much higher than their competitors the quality of the customer experience gets more important. If people get asked whether they would pay 70 Euros for one kilogram coffee, they normally clearly will say no. But over 9 million customers are ready to pay this price. Nespresso has not just turned coffee into a premium product, but has also positioned itself in a luxury brand. An important reason for this is the customer experience and the emotions which Nespresso arouses in the customer. Nespresso is a pioneer of customer experience management in the world. In the year 2000 Nespresso opened its first boutique in Paris. Nowadays it exist more than 600 boutiques. These boutiques are mostly located in high value positions in metropolis very close to stores of luxury brands in the fashion sector. The following Graphic shows a boutique in Singapore in its special design.
