The study also explores the market segmentation in the digital era to improve customer experience tools. In addition, the study determines which strategy has been suggested to be most optimized for enhancing Customer Experience. The research method comprises a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which included choosing the key publications, data extraction and synthesis, quality assessment for the chosen publications, and assessing and presenting the results. This systematic review is important for marketing professionals as it emphasizes the significance of selecting appropriate digital marketing strategies as per marketing activities to maximize customer experience. The results of SLR identify different contemporary marketing strategies such as eWOM, emailing, affiliate marketing, search engine optimization, social media marketing, and corporate blogging. Among these strategies, Social Media Marketing is found to be most effective for the brands in their endeavor to maximize customer experience.
