If you’ve been searching Google for information on “How To Create a Customer Journey Map,” you are probably tired by now… because you still don’t have a clear answer.

Yes, a lot of articles talk about Customer Journey Maps, but how many of these articles have given you the specific enough information that you need? Even fewer give this information in the form of a guide, with steps to follow and build a solid Customer Journey Map.

But, don’t worry. In this article, we prepared everything you need to know about the Customer Journey Map and how to create one for your business.

For the sake of convenience, we will use the term ‘Customer’ throughout the article even though a person is not a Customer until they make a purchase.

So, let’s get started.

What Is A Customer Journey Map?

First of all, let me explain what a Customer Journey Map is and why it’s important for your business.

We, marketers, love to tell stories. But, if we want to tell a story that keeps our audience at the edge of their seats, munching popcorn as their minds are completely locked into the storyline, first we need to learn how to listen.

• Listen to the stories your users are telling.
• Listen to the frustrations they face every day.
• Listen to the aspirations they have.
• Listen to the expectations that arise after finding a product/service that would hopefully solve a particular problem.

Why is this “listening” important for your Customer Journey Map? Because, in the marketing world, users are speaking through the Customer Journey Map.

This is an excerpt from 7 Most Common Social Media Mistakes You Should Avoid

Just the other day I hit my head in the kitchen cabinet door. I left it open before that and forget to close it. That was quite a painful mistake, I might add. The same is true when it comes to social media mistakes. They can also end up being pretty painful.

In the long run, social media mistakes can cost us some serious problems; financial, and if this trend continues, it can cost us our social presence and relevance. Not to mention the stress that comes along with it, lack of money, losing clients, you name it.

So, for the sake of not repeating the same social media mistakes over and over again, I will point out some of the most common ones to help you avoid them in the future.

Let’s get cracking.

1. You Are Not Doing Enough Research

If your research is not done properly, you are bound to make a huge social media mistake.

With so much content available on the Internet you can’t afford to write superficial content that brings no value to your readers. They will just leave. In fact, it is impossible to write good quality texts without knowing the subject, and you can’t really know the subject without thorough and in-depth research.

All that leads to the following fact, how can you know what interests your readers without researching their needs first? Research is crucial. I can’t stress it enough. Research on the subject you write as well as on your customers’ needs.

Let’s do a quick experiment. Would you please open a new Google Tab, type in the words ‘effective social media strategy’ and look at the results? Plenty, huh?

Now, type in ‘effective social media marketing team’. Not so much, right?

It got me thinking.

How come people obsess over social media marketing strategy, but few bother about the importance of the team?

Your people are the cornerstone of your company, not your clients. They make your business grow. They bring you, clients. They do the job, so those clients are happy. And that makes you happy at the end of the day.

Your primary goal as a business owner should be to invest in your people so they can provide better service for your clients, with less effort. And when they spend less energy on repetitive tasks, your social media marketing team can produce more, in less time.

So let’s pause a bit on the social media marketing strategy craze, and think about the people side of doing social media marketing.

The most labor-intensive part of any effective social media marketing team is – content production, analytics and predicting user behavior. Find a way to help your team with these three key activities, and you’ll be boosting morale, boosting effectiveness, and boosting the ROI for your clients.

Sounds good?

Cool. Let’s dig in.
