Omnichannel Experience
  By Debbie Cline

The omnichannel experience is where it’s at. But what exactly is it and why should you care? 

The omnichannel experience is the result of a multi-channel approach to marketing, selling, and serving customers in a way that creates an integrated and cohesive customer experience no matter how or where a customer reaches out. The customer can be shopping online from a desktop or mobile device, or by telephone, or in a brick and mortar store and the experience is seamless. Before you ask – yes, if you are a B2B company and/or don’t have a brick and mortar store this still applies to you.

Businesses that have implemented a strong omnichannel strategy have happier customers and see massive increases in customer retention and revenue. Here are a few obligatory stats:
 
  • 98% of people switch between devices every day
  • The purchase rate of campaigns using three or more channels is 287% higher than single channel campaigns
  • Omnichannel campaigns that involve SMS are 48% more likely to end in conversion
  • Companies using omnichannel marketing have 89% higher customer retention rates
  • 80% of customers use their mobile phone while shopping in a brick-and-mortar store
This doesn’t need to be a massive, expensive effort. Start with targeted, consistent messaging across all touchpoints in the customer journey and go from there.
