How to Build Omnichannel Communications that Increase Loyalty

Welcome to the Evolution of Customer Trust

A customer liking an online business profile.

The data privacy and security landscapes are constantly shifting, especially as customers become more savvy of digital privacy and business practices. With the official end of third-party cookies in the near future and looming potential legislative actions - those who prioritize privacy, security, and compliance as crucial foundations of customer engagement will win over customer loyalty for years to come. 

With this prioritization, technical, product, data, and engineering leaders will oversee much of the process required to implement a solution that drives company goals and meets customer needs. This includes developing the omnichannel strategy, determining the compliance requirements, and picking the solution.

According to Twilio’s third-party research from the State of Customer Engagement Report 2022, 71% of users say they want better data privacy from brands, yet only 55% of companies believe this is what users want. This shows an inconsistency between what users want and what businesses place as a priority.

To address this disparity, technical leaders should strive to design and build user-first, compliant, and data-driven experiences. But to do so, businesses must first understand what drives customer trust and build strategies that meet (and exceed!) their needs.
