expérience client
In French, customer experience is translated as expérience client.
This phrase refers to the overall perception and feeling a customer has after interacting with a company's products or services. In French business contexts, client is used for both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) settings, whereas consommateur is more specific to the end consumer.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is a literal translation where expérience means 'experience' and client means 'customer'.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In Quebec, the phrase Expérience du client is used to refer to customer experience.
How does it change in a sentence?
When referring to the concept in a general sense or as a specific subject, the definite article l’ is used before expérience, forming l'expérience client.
What mistakes should you avoid?
While expérience du client is grammatically correct, the standard professional term used in marketing and management is the noun adjunct form expérience client.
