NEW DELHI, Nov. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The quality of customer experience (CX) has improved in India, according to Forrester's 2017 Customer Experience Index (CX Index™). The new data released today reveals that for the first time in three years, one brand broke into the excellent CX category, and over half of the surveyed brands improved their scores significantly.
Based on a survey of more than 9,000 Indian online adult consumers, Forrester's CX Index measures and ranks 36 brands in India across five industries to identify how well a brand's customer experience strengthens the loyalty of its customers. Key findings of this third annual study include that no brand in India delivered poor CX, and the average score of the five industries rose, indicating better quality CX across the board. In addition, the data shows that emotion has a bigger influence on customer loyalty than effectiveness or ease in nearly every industry.
"Brands that want to break away from their competitors should focus on emotion," said Amit Bhatia, Forrester senior analyst and author of the report. "The top five brands in India provided an average of 23 emotionally positive experiences for each negative experience; the lowest-performing five brands provided only eight emotionally positive experiences for each negative one. Emotion is critical as CX has a direct impact on a firm's revenue."
