From Product Information Management to Product Experience Management: What Exactly Is PXM?
Customer behaviour is constantly changing. Social shopping on Instagram or marketplaces is becoming more and more common. The use of voice user interfaces is increasing. These changes make it necessary to interact with customers in new ways.
Customer experience is the key to success. However, the question is: where do you start when it comes to creating a successful customer experience? Each channel has its own rules. For this reason, customer experience has to be adjusted for every touchpoint.
Product experience management (PXM) is an innovative and promising approach to creating a unique customer experience based on fully comprehensive product information. This requires product data that is complete, accurate and relevant and can be found wherever your customers are looking for it. However, the responsibility of e-commerce and marketing managers goes far beyond mere product data maintenance. The goal must be to increase brand awareness and the consistency of product data.
The job of a product experience manager is to create emotional experiences that increase conversions and reduce returns – across all touchpoints, regions and languages. To do so, the manager needs the right tools. Akeneo’s PXM solution enables your employees to collect, maintain and enrich relevant data from internal and external sources, write engaging product descriptions, manage related digital assets and distribute enriched, contextualised product information across all touchpoints in order to boost the success of products on the market in the long term.
Are you ready for PXM?
