Five Steps to a Five Star Experience

Ever wonder how a hotel receives five stars? Do you look within your industry to level up your customer experience? Katie has distilled the five actions that, once executed, will elevate the experience you provide your customer. The first thing she stresses is to look OUTSIDE your industry. Your experience competition is not the business that sells the same thing you do; your competition is the experiences that your customers have BEFORE they interact with you! The shift from a transactional economy to a connected one cannot be overlooked!

CustomHER Experience - The Influence of the Female Consumer; The Decision Maker

Very few businesses focus on elevating “interaction” so that a brand experience includes a personal connection with the consumer and addresses their genuine interests and needs. This branding disconnect is a problem not only for female consumers but also for businesses that lose potential sales and women’s loyalty. Katie has delivered this Brand Experience keynote across all industries around the world. CustomHER Experience sends the clear message that true power comes when businesses focus on providing a brand and consumer experience that women―the world’s most influential consumers―can’t live without.

CustomHER Experience

The Influence of the Female Consumer; The Decision Maker

Although the female movement is interwoven into our social world and people preach “girl power,” this mindset hasn’t penetrated business branding or the experience businesses provide to women. Very few businesses focus on elevating “interaction” so that a brand experience includes a personal connection with the consumer and addresses their genuine interests and needs. This branding disconnect is a problem not only for female consumers but also for businesses that lose potential sales and women’s loyalty.
Katie has delivered this Brand Experience keynote across all industries around the world. CustomHER Experience sends the clear message that true power comes when businesses focus on providing a brand and consumer experience that women―the world’s most influential consumers―can’t live without. When businesses start doing that―and doing it well―they can cultivate trust, build loyalty, earn referrals, and make top-line sales, and their female customers won’t want to go anywhere else.

Empower HER in the Workplace

Create a FE + MALE Work Environment

If women don’t enjoy working for you, why would they want to shop or buy from you? Even today, female-friendly workplace cultures are still scarce. You should be aware that the culture you foster within your business is a direct reflection of the ease and comfort of your customers. It is in the best interest of your company to build a culture that women can get behind. If you do this, both female employees and consumers will take notice!
Do you want to offer an experience she can’t live without? Then you’d better create a culture where women want to work.
The ultimate effect is that women feel comfortable buying from you. As the saying goes, happy wife, happy life. This is the same for your organization: happy female employees, happy female consumer, happy company (and higher profits!).
