If you give people the option to shop somewhere that only had a few choices or another venue with a wide selection, people almost always go for the larger selection. However, sorting through options can feel overwhelming. Too many choices in your Customer Experience are a terrible thing. Of course, too little choice is not great either. We discussed the issues with too many options in a recent podcast and what you can do to make customer’s decisions easier in your Customer Experience.

There’s a pattern that’s all too common in our industry – you build a rock-solid product, spend a lot of cash and effort attracting people to discover that product, but then fall down at the crucial point of helping your customers actually find value. Getting users to discover that value from day one is what great onboarding is all about, but so many of us struggle to ensure our onboarding is as good as our core product.

But it can be a real challenge knowing that’s what you’re doing from the outset. In late 2007, a pair of roommates found themselves scraping their wallets to come up with enough cash to cover their exorbitant San Francisco rent. They noticed that a big design conference was coming to town, and all the hotels were booked. That’s when they came up with a brilliant idea – selling airbeds on their apartment floor for $80 a night.

The new customer-centered economy marks a fundamental change in the business/customer relationship. It’s no longer wise for businesses to focus the majority of their efforts on seeking new customers. After all, recurring revenue business models revolve around customer subscriptions that must be paid for or renewed monthly or annually. But they aren’t a guarantee of revenue; customers can cancel at any time.

But when you integrate it with another equally robust and useful tool, it becomes unbeatable.
