What are Customer Touch Points?

Touchpoints are each interaction between your company and your customers. This interaction can be at any stage of the purchase from initial consideration to delivery of the product or service.

Touchpoints shape our customers’ perception of our company and greatly influence the final decision-making process and whether they chose to purchase from you again in the future. 

Types of Touch Points

First and foremost, there are two broad categories of touch points: We have: 

  1. Direct Touches: Such interactions are when a company plays a direct role in creating customer experiences. This could be your website interface, contact center support etc.
     
  2. Indirect: Touches: These include interactions whereby a company does not play a direct role in creating user experiences. For example word-of-mouth marketing, customer reviews, etc. 

Mediums of Touch Points

One important thing to realize before moving on is to identify the mediums through which interactions between customers and your company take place.

There is no one-size-fits-all and it’s important that you make a full list for your company.
