If there's one thing in common between C-store, retail, and food service, it's that customer experience is paramount.

According to Forrester research, brands saw a nearly 20% drop in customer experience in 2022, meaning customers are more likely to take their business to competitors. When the first impression is the most important, make sure it's exceptional.

Vixxo Celebrates Earth Day 2023
By Vixxo Management on Apr 20, 2023 9:15:00 PM | 1 minute read
Vixxo has a tradition of supporting global sustainability initiatives each Earth Day, and this year, we are working with ONETREEPLANTED to support reforestation around the world.
Reforestation makes an impact to reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere through carbon sequestration, which is the process of capturing and removing CO2 from the earth's atmosphere. The average tree absorbs an average of 10 kilograms, or 22 pounds,
of carbon dioxide per year in its first 20 years of life.
To support ONETREEPLANTED on their mission to reduce CO2 levels and green the planet, we are planting over 3,000 trees on behalf of our key customer contacts, Service Providers, and employees.
