EP168: 1040s, 9 and 3-4, and 404s!

Experience This!

Learn about how one company rolled back a major decision after customer backlash, how immersive experiences have become all the rage, and how you can create experiences anywhere - even when a customer makes a mistake.

Bite-Sized Delight From the Episode:

• Listen AND Respond to Your Customers - When loyal customers backlashed at the elimination of a feature enjoyed by a small but vocal portion of users, TurboTax reversed their decision and re-instated the "ItsDeductible" program.

• Think Immersive for Your Experiences - As customers crave more immersive experiences, explore ways to deliver "above and beyond" like the Museum of Ice Cream in Chicago.

• Make Mistakes and Errors Playful - A fun, playful, creative 404 error page is a great opportunity to bring surprise and delight to a customer that makes a mistake on your website.
