This leads to the somewhat-paradoxical concept that, for brands to make their mark with customers, they must hone their ability to provide interactions that are, in fact, unremarkable – so swift and straightforward to perform that users barely even notice doing them. Companies that manage this balancing act keep customers coming back for more.
