Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

Digital marketers that serve customer-centric organizations understand what customers want and rely on customer data to capture customer insights and share this across the organization. Brands must be committed to customer-centricity concentrate on what their clientele wants and needs, and develop new products and services based on that. To win in today’s media mix, the customer dictates reach, frequency, and how they buy. Just how your customers and prospects are being engaged is critical to sustained success in the long term. More and more companies, who have relied on email marketing as the default method for communications, are now wondering if a better, more engaging way exists. Businesses must be keen to align with evolving customer requirements and need a new content writing strategy for more natural “ask an assistant” searches. Your business will benefit if you can view things from the customer's perspective, and not from an internal business standpoint. With the demise of traditional inbound and outbound marketing efforts, the need to find a bulls-eye marketing plan starts with a better understanding of your customer. After the right content is created, schema mark-up helps to match content to user queries, and then the many forms of marketing that piece is needed. Predictive guesses vary widely but the common consensus is that it is five times more expensive to gain a new customer as to retain an existing on fore.
If you are a customer-centric company that wants to engage your customers in more mutually beneficial ways, it will require co-operation from design teams, sales, and customer support for brand alignment and ultimate success. To accomplish what is needed, entire teams should look at where your business is currently at in terms of rankings, visual search trends, and user satisfaction. It may seem like the tables have turned but watch your metrics and by focussing on the user's intent and needs first, those should follow. In the future, customer engagement strategies must go deeper than just to creating content to maintain strength and positioning. Real data that leads design decisions will better satisfy the user experience than fancy widgets and flashy design elements.
A consumer-centric approach includes identifying the questions prospective customers are asking, how they seek answers, and how to use those insights to shape your content strategy. Along with the changes in the search algorithms, devices, and competitive landscapes, search marketers must respond and revise according to the fluid ways users chose to use search. That may be voice, text, desktop, apps, query length changes, channels, question formats, and user expectations. Maybe that means switching to video content on YouTube, or developing your Google Assistant page, or being more visible on Google Maps, as well as social platforms.
Preparing your communications to align with the voice of the customer helps you improve your services. Customer feedback is an especially important tool. It may alert a business of future communication trends.
