Why did we create The CX Files?

Customer experience at Meydan Free Zone is shaped in moments where there is no script to follow. When people have to decide quickly, think clearly, and take ownership of what happens next.

This series exists to capture those decisions. The pressure behind them. The empathy they require. And the people who carry that responsibility every day.

Why customer experience matters

Customer experience is a direct driver of business performance. It influences whether customers stay, spend more over time, and recommend a business to others.

Strong experiences build loyalty, increase lifetime value, and reduce the cost of acquiring new customers. In competitive markets, where products and pricing are similar, experience becomes a clear differentiator.

What strong CX delivers

Customer loyalty

Customers return when trust is built through experience.

Revenue growth

Positive experiences increase lifetime value and repeat spend.

Advocacy

Recommendations reduce reliance on paid acquisition.

Competitive edge

Experience becomes the reason to choose.

Engaged teams

Empowered people deliver better outcomes.

Lower churn & costs

Better CX reduces customer loss and replacement cost.

The CX Files connects these outcomes back to real work – showing how experience, when handled well, becomes a driver of trust, growth, and long-term value.
