Overview

Like many countries around the world, for the past two years, Vietnam went on a rollercoaster ride to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and soon the nation realized that their lives may never be the same as before and that they need to adjust to a new reality. As people adopt a new normal in all their interactions, companies will also need to recognize a shift in their approach to their customers and the overall Vietnamese consumer.

We have reached out to more than 1,500 consumers and evaluated more than 90 local and international brands across eight different sectors in the Vietnamese market to see how companies have fared during turbulent times.

Throughout the report, the CEE score is used to measure brands’ customer experience performance. The ranking for each brand is determined by the CEE score of the brands surveyed. The CEE score is derived via a weighted average of the brand’s score for each of The Six Pillars, the KPMG methodology for defining Customer Experience. The weighting is calculated through regression analysis to understand the relative importance of each pillar in driving the two commercial outcomes measured in the analysis: advocacy and loyalty.

The Six Pillars

The Six Pillars of Experience have been consistently shown to be the essential characteristics of world class experiences. The presence of these six factors is essential if commercially beneficial behaviors are to ensue because of customer experience.

Whether that is increased share of wallet, loyalty, or advocacy, these six factors are the prerequisites for commercial success. However, as they are all interconnected it is essential to be good at all six.
