Study reveals that customers feel underwhelmed despite seismic digital switch

new study from VMWare has revealed

A that only 29 % of consumers around the world believe the companies they interact with now deliver an improved digital experience compared to before the pandemic .

The findings from the study of more than 9,000 consumers , across Japan , Italy , Spain , United States , France , Germany , UK and Singapore , reveal while there has been a seismic digital switch , businesses have not captured the attention of customers , who are feeling largely underwhelmed .
Key industries have fallen short on delivering cutting-edge digital experiences , according to the research . Those experiences might range , for example , from retailers moving to enable card payments , to tracking deliveries online from factory to home , or engaging with a new application that provides an even greater level of customisation throughout the ordering process . This is despite 64 % of survey respondents identifying themselves as ‘ digitally curious ’ or ‘ digital explorers ’ signalling a receptive and readily available digital audience .
Matthew O ’ Neil , Industry Managing Director , Advanced Technology Group , VMware said :
“ There is no question that the development of new digital experiences has been integral to many businesses ’ very survival over the past 12 months . However , while many companies successfully made the digital switch , our consumer insight shows that many have not delighted their customers with these new online experiences .”
