Good, now that we have selected who the actual target is for our communication

campaign, let's make sure that we map what the decision making process or

the customer journey is.

This is what a typical customer journey looks like.

As you can imagine, it first begin with the customer recognizing the problem.

Typically at this point,

you may have already a set of preconceived alternatives.

Next, you might conduct some information search.

Subsequent to which you will go on to the stage of evaluating alternatives and

deciding on making a purchase decision.

If a product has been successful, then you will go to repurchase, and, in which case,

you will develop a loyalty loop.

If you're not happy with the experience, you going to back typically to

the information search stage, or to evaluate alternatives once again.

So, the first thing I have identified the target is to be able to draw the consumer

journey for the particular product or service that I am about to launch.

But in addition to mapping the customer decision journey,

you also want to identify all the customers touch points and

the different experiences that you might go through, positive or

negative under different encounters to make sure that I design the proper content

and communication strategy to try to improve our point of experiences.

Let's assume that you found out that you're about to have the third kid.

Most couples that have the third kid need to upgrade cars,

as typically three car seats do not fit properly in a standard sedan car.

So you might go into a bigger car.

What are the different ups and

downs that a customer through that decision journey might actually encounter?

First, for example, you receive the news that you're expecting a third baby, right?

This would certainly qualify at as a very in joyful piece of news, right?

That would be positive.

Immediately, you would think about, shoot, we will need a new car.

You realize you need a bigger car,

that would probably count as a negative experience.

After which,

you will get into the fun process of trying to realize of researching cars.

For most people, that might actually be quite an enjoyable experience.

But then, you need to also research

financial alternatives if you're going to get financing for the car.

Certainly not a very fun process,

especially if you have to read the small print.

Then, you have to sign the contract, let's say this party is neutral, and

finally you get the keys to your new car.

This will be probably the most enjoyable part of the later stage of this process.

So as you can see, realizing all these different touch points and

the emotional roller coaster that somebody will go through,

will give you plenty of opportunities to target the right communication messages

at the different stages.

Next, we move on to our last example.

Let's assume that you're in the market for a new home, a customizable home in Mexico.

What do you think if you are a first time buyer of a new home,

perhaps because you're expecting family for the first time?

What are the different concerns that might actually be hitting you

at this particular point once you entered the daunting process of having to go and

look for a new home?

Perhaps designing elements of it yourself.

You can imagine everything that is going on in a person's mind

when trying to go through this process for the first time, and

most likely the only time in your life.

It's a very high involvement decision, it is very complex, right.

You need to decide on styles, floor plans, construction materials, finishings.

A whole and big and fit catalog of different materials and

finishings and particular elements that you might want to have inside the house.

It's a very complex decision, and as you can imagine,

there is plenty of confusion in experience and even maybe fear.

So take the company side, for

example, what should be the objective of the communication campaign

with all this that is going on inside a customers head, right?

If you're in the business of building customizable homes and

promoting them, perhaps the objective of your communication program

should stress a couple of these points.

First of all, you might want to become a one stop shop.

You might want to try both finding a land, the construction, the design, and

if you possibly can, solving the financing problem for this particular customer to

make sure that he doesn't find more roadblocks in the purchase process.

In addition, you may want to stress out that you're a national brand,

present all over the country, and that you have been around for

a long time, through the ups and downs of the economic cycle.

As a lot of small builders will typically go out of business during a crisis, in

which case the customer may have concern about the warranties on construction.

Finally, you may offer a full catalog with set models of homes to help or

speed up the decision making process, or

you may want to stress out that your price is non-negotiable.

In a sense that, once you choose the floor plan, the model, and

the finishing, the price is set.

A lot of people already seen this process complex enough, and

they're inexperienced, and it's really very daunting.

The possibility of cost running more than they had anticipated and

then the house not being delivered on time.

So actually competing by having fixed prices, once the model,

size and finishing are set might actually be a very good idea and

one that you might really want to communicate.

And the objective of it,

is to ease the pain that a new customer into the home market might be facing once

having to face perhaps one of the most important decisions in their life.
