It has always been an important issue for companies to “know their customers.” The emergence and development of “Customer Journey Mapping” became the key to deal with this issue. It helps the company to identify if there is any room for service improvement and to find more business opportunities. By adopting this tool, company can appreciate customers’ needs, feelings and thoughts from customers’ perspectives more effectively. In the beginning part of this study, the definition, related concepts, applications and the executing methods of customer journey mapping will be comprehensively discussed and clarified. This study aims to build and compare the customer journeys of different types of customers, and therefore to discover the customers’ needs that are not yet satisfied by the products or services, with an eye to concluding further managerial implications. This research applied the customer journey mapping tool to analyzing 20- to 35-year-old Taiwanese female customers of skincare products, in order to comprehend their information- and purchase-behaviors. The method of research started from generalizing the interviewees into 3 kinds of personas. Secondly, divided the customer journey into 5 phases; furthermore, to know customers’ goals, touchpoints, feelings and thoughts in respective phases.

The source of differences mainly comes from the “purchase phase,” where each type of customers chooses distinct channels because of different reasons.
