User Journey Mapping by Luke Baker
Your guide into journey maps.
At Make it Clear we have spent many years helping our clients improve how they attract, engage and delight both new and existing customers. During this time we have defined our own approach to creating an outstanding user experience, including processes, principles and tools we use.A commonly used method in our tool kit is journey mapping. A journey map is a visualisation of the route users take as they engage with a company, product, service or brand.
Why use journey maps?
Journey maps provide a clear picture of the end to end experience. Identifying touch-points, channels, activities, emotions, pain points and opportunities along a time-based journey from the user perspective.
How are journey maps used?
By mapping the journey you gain an understanding of your product or service from the user’s point of view. It allows you to identify opportunities to improve the overall experience and by joining up different areas of your business, it provides a holistic insight of a user’s end-to-end journey.

To attract and keep loyal customers, you have to truly start to understand them—their pain point, wants, and needs. A customer touchpoint map helps you gain that understanding by visualizing the path your customers follow, from signing up for a service, to using your site, to buying your product. And because no two customers are exactly alike, a CJM lets you plot out multiple pathways through your product. Soon you’ll be able to anticipate those pathways and satisfy your customers at every step.
