About this Event
Mapping the Moments That Matter: A Practical Guide to the Customer Journey
Your customers don’t experience your business in one moment—they experience it as a journey.
And every interaction either builds trust… or breaks it.
In this interactive session, we’ll break down the customer journey from start to finish and show you how to intentionally design experiences that convert, retain, and delight your customers. You’ll learn how to map what you’re currently doing, uncover gaps and pain points, and apply creative marketing tactics that strengthen each stage of the journey.
We’ll also explore how to adapt your customer journey annually using STEEP factors, how to measure success at every touchpoint, and how to leverage AI as a support tool—without losing the human connection that truly drives loyalty.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, small business owner, or growing organization, this session will help you turn everyday interactions into creative solutions and meaningful connections.
