kundjourny

Kundjourny is a term used in marketing and customer experience management to describe the sequence of interactions that a customer has with a company from initial awareness to post-purchase advocacy. It is a stylized spelling of the more common "customer journey" and is used to frame how customers move through channels and touchpoints across the lifecycle.

The term appears in branding and organizational discussions rather than as a strict academic concept. It may reflect linguistic influences that blend words for "customer" (for example "kund" in several Nordic languages) with "journy," an alternative spelling of journey. In practice, kundjourny and customer journey are often used interchangeably.

Key ideas include customer personas, journey maps, and touchpoints. Typical stages commonly described are awareness, consideration, acquisition, use or retention, and advocacy. Maps may include emotions, motivations, and pain points at each stage, and they may distinguish channels such as web, mobile, store, and call center.

Analysts use journey data to identify drop-offs, optimize experiences, and align teams across marketing, product, and support. Common metrics include conversion rates, time-to-purchase, engagement, customer lifetime value, churn, and net promoter score. Tools range from analytics platforms to CRM systems and dedicated journey-mapping software.

Applications include product design, marketing strategy, customer-support optimization, and omnichannel experiences. Benefits include improved user experience, higher conversion, and better cross-functional collaboration. Critics note that journey maps can oversimplify variability among customers and raise privacy concerns when they rely on detailed behavioral data.
