Multi-channel Marketing - What and Why
- Customers think of your brand as “one” but, depending on their needs or season, may prefer to shop or buy your brand through more than one channel – stores, catalog, direct mail, website, in-store 4th channel, TV, radio, etc.
- Most loyal and valuable customers for your brand will shop and buy through more than one channel
- More often today, customers shop one channel first, then buy in another
- The more channels shopped for your brand, the more valuable a customer
- Individual customers and customer segment values can be quantified and increased
- Value can be improved by tracking each customer’s transactional behavior and responding with relevant offers
- Offer and communication relevancy can be identified and measured
- Behavior tracking through all channels is optimized by linking every contact and transaction to each customer record in one, unified customer database
- The more relevant ...or personal… the offer, the more responsive the customer
- Customers “tell” you what’s relevant through their actual purchase behaviors
- Marketing costs can be managed to improve ROI based on tracking
- New customers are acquired through new channel initiatives – especially online
