Few industries have been as impacted by the onslaught of COVID-19 more than the Travel & Entertainment industry. In episode nine, Steve Myers and Aaron Price, VP of Digital Products, eCommerce & Guest Experience at Caesars Entertainment, discuss how the organization was able to use digital platforms, touchpoints, and personalization to shift its customer service mindset and overcome the operational challenges of reopening.
Captured are key takeaways from the conversation:
- Personalization is critical to delivering a meaningful customer experience
- Innovation doesn’t always need to solve the big stuff. Sometimes simple innovation like meeting customers where they are with contextual -messaging or mobile ordering goes a long way
- You can have all the systems and platforms in the world but without a great team behind them, you won’t succeed
