Relationship building with customers doesn’t just happen. And it doesn’t simply revolve around a sale.
These experiences are typically found online in websites or apps, but they could be found in a kiosk, or in a print, video, web, or audio ad. Readers or viewers typically enjoy these experiences alone on their own time.

With reduced accountability comes reduced trust, which leads to lost loyalty, fractured engagement, a misaligned brand, and ultimately, a damaged relationship.
The post-purchase experience builds a relationship between your customers and your company. As you can see, in this step, there is a need to share information, complete transactions, make decisions, be an influencer or be influenced, develop a relationship, and collaborate to find new solutions.
