Journey Map template & example

Journey maps are a powerful tool for understanding the customer experience. They visually depict the process customers go through to achieve a goal with your organization, like making a purchase or resolving an issue. This helps you see your business from the customer's perspective and identify areas for improvement.

Key Components of a Journey Map Template:

• Persona: Define the specific customer you're mapping the journey for (e.g., age, occupation, needs, goals).

• Touchpoints: List all the ways the customer interacts with your organization at each stage (e.g., website, social media, in-store, customer service).

• Actions: Describe what the customer does at each touchpoint (e.g., visits website, reads reviews, calls customer service).

• Emotions: Illustrate how the customer feels at each stage (e.g., happy, frustrated, confused).

• Pain Points: Identify any challenges or obstacles the customer encounters.

• Opportunities: Highlight areas where you can improve the customer experience.
