• She either stays on the page landed (it can be product page, home page, category
page) or bounces (close it very quickly). So we have here first terminal point, where
we lose customer without any value extracted. Such unfortunate cases are
represented as red hexagons
• Customer uses various way to find the product(s) she wants to purchase for the price
she ready to pay – navigation, search, recommendation engine. If she succeed, she
proceed to the next stage. Otherwise, the leaves the website – another red hexagon
called “Not interested”
• Shopping cart. The product is placed to the shopping cart. From here customer can
return to search of additional products (cross- and up-selling opportunity for retailer)
or decide proceed to the next step – checkout. There is also possibility to lose
customer there for various reason (change of mind, find better competing offer,
discovered an unpleasant surprise like high delivery cost, so the customer journey can
come to the end as ‘Abandonment’.
• Checkout. This is the last step, before conversion, where customer enter billing and
payment details and actually pay for the product. Again there is a possibility to lose
her there for different reasons – from bad UX to just no funds on customer’s account.
• Conversion. Hooray! The order is placed and typically (for most B2C websites) paid.
There is still a chance to lose the customer there, such as fraud detection and
cancelled transaction, or transaction cancellation by customer’s request.
• Order is shipped to Customer. If all good, there is a possibility to get additional value
from the customer. If the customer isn’t satisfied with what she’s received it is most
likely the end of the story. Yes, you can probably try to fix the situation, but for that
you need at least have a complaint from the customer, so for simplicity we consider
that the process ends here. There is still some value extracted in this case by the
retailer, so such terminal points are represented as red rectangles, a bit different from
red hexagon where no monetary value was extracted by the retailer at all.
• After delivery the process is split to 2 streams: for retailers in Acquisition and retailers
in Loyalty modes
