User experience is the overall experience a customer has with your product, service, or website. If users have a great experience with your brand, it can lead to more sales and higher conversion rates. If users have a poor experience with your brand, it can lead to reduced sales and poor feedback. User experience is a delicate balancing act when it comes to your brand and future sales.
