Project Examples

Requirements

Beginning this February, Retail Management student-consultants will work individually to research your retail organization and create a detailed and actionable customer touchpoint map with strategic recommendations.

By student-consultants identifying, analyzing and visually depicting each interaction or contact point in your customer's journey, you will gain valuable objective insights and identify opportunities for new and improved customer experience and marketing interactions.

Example touchpoints include, but are not limited to:

  • Pre-purchase (social media, advertising, and anything prior to the purchase).
  • Purchase (in-store displays and customer service, etc.).
  • Post-purchase (customer surveys, follow-up marketing).
