Beyond the Linear Funnel
Traditional marketing funnels are linear: awareness, consideration, purchase. But real customer journeys look nothing like this. A customer might discover a product on Instagram, research it on Google, visit a store to try it on, leave without buying, get retargeted with a Facebook ad, receive an email reminder, and finally purchase on their phone during a commute. Mapping this reality is essential.
AI-Assisted Journey Mapping
Use AI to build realistic journey maps:
"You are a customer experience strategist. Create a cross-channel customer journey map for a typical [customer persona] shopping at a [store type] retailer. Map the journey from initial trigger (what creates the need) through awareness, research, evaluation, purchase, and post-purchase. At each stage, show: which channels the customer uses, what information they need, what emotions they feel, what actions they take, and where they might drop off. Make the journey realistic — include channel-switching, hesitation loops, and comparison shopping with competitors."
