6 UX and UI mistakes that will cause you to lose customers.

Bad digital experiences are paid for in lost customers and slower growth. Just a few numbers.

• According to Zendesk, 92% of customers will spend more with companies that don't ask them to repeat information.
• And 93% of customers will spend more with companies that offer their preferred channel for customer support and service.
• In addition, 80% of users delete an app because they don't know how to use it.

Without a good UX and UI in your services, experiences and channels, you risk losing as users those you gain as customers. Ultimately, there is no customer experience without user experience.  

And that can mean fewer sales, worse brand image or lower perceived quality.

To ensure that you have a valuable user experience, we recommend you read the following mistakes and analyze if you are making them or if there is something you can improve in those aspects.

 Some signs 

• You don't ask for confirmations or verifications.
