How to create a consistent product experience for customers?

Why does product experience matter?

Product experience is a vital part of the customer journey. It’s formed through every touchpoint where a customer sees, experiences, or interacts with a product—whether on a website, in-store, on packaging, in catalogs, or through social media.

A consistent, informative, and engaging product experience not only strengthens your brand—it also boosts conversions and helps you stand out from the competition.

Consistent product experiences start with centralized data management

At the core of any product experience lies high-quality, consistent product information. In a multichannel world, managing product data without a centralized system leads to inconsistencies, errors, poor translations, and incorrect formatting.

A Product Information Management (PIM) system solves the challenges of fragmented data by enabling:

• Centralized management of core product data, while attributes like pricing or stock levels can be pulled from other systems like ERPs, either through PIM or directly into publishing channels.
• Real-time synchronization across all channels through integrations and automated updates.
• Controlled localization and multilingual support for efficient international content management.
• Visually and contextually enriched product content using images, videos, and other media assets managed within the PIM system.

PXM: Going a step further

Once your product data is under control, the next step is managing the product experience itself—Product Experience Management (PXM). PXM is about tailoring product content to fit the right context, for the right audience, in the right channel, and with the right tone of voice.

By combining product data, marketing, and user insights, PXM enables companies to deliver richer and more meaningful experiences to customers.

Personalization as part of the product experience

Product content can be personalized for different customer segments to ensure each visitor receives relevant and engaging information. AI can support this by analyzing user preferences and behavior to deliver targeted content that improves the experience and increases sales.

Content enrichment across multiple channels

Improving the product experience also requires content enrichment that goes beyond surface-level visuals. In addition to images, videos, and manuals, you can enhance product data with content that supports purchase decisions and builds trust.

Examples of enriching content include:

• Customer stories and references – showcasing practical benefits and providing social proof.
• Blog articles, guides, and inspiration – including links to external content.
• Media mentions, awards, and test wins – demonstrating quality and credibility.
• Technical specifications and certifications – especially important for B2B buyers or regulated industries.
• Contextual visuals and 3D/AR models – helping customers understand how a product fits into real-life use.
• Comparison charts and compatibility data – supporting better decision-making.

PIM plays a central role in managing and distributing this content. Enriched content can be stored directly in the PIM or linked externally (e.g., blogs, case studies). When this information is structured and maintained properly, it can be shared efficiently across all marketing and sales channels—enhancing customer experience at every touchpoint.

Channel-specific optimization

To deliver a strong product experience across different channels—whether eCommerce platforms, resellers, or distributors—you must consider each environment’s unique requirements. At the same time, your messaging must remain consistent with your brand identity.

A well-functioning PIM system is essential here too. It reduces the need for manual work and ensures product content is always optimized and up to date across all touchpoints.

A step-by-step example: How to build a consistent product experience

1. Audit your current product information: What formats are used? How many sources exist?
2. Implement a PIM solution: Centralize product data for easy management and distribution.
3. Enrich and standardize your content: Add visuals, technical details, and storytelling.
4. Define channel-specific requirements: Know what content is needed where.
5. Use AI to enhance PXM: Personalize content at scale through smart automation.
