Omni-channel retailing: Driving the future of mobile commerce
The rapid growth of tech-savvy consumers has made omni-channeling an inevitable part of retail success. Omni-channel strategies allows brands to interact completely with a consumer through several channels, improving the customer experience and ultimately ensuring brand awareness and reinforcing customer loyalty.
Omni-channel marketing: Giving your customers a brand new experience
Though omni-channeling has numerous benefits many businesses are still not aware about this new digital marketing strategy. Let me explain the benefits of omni-channeling in simpler terms. Quite often, customers add products to their online shopping carts but do not complete the purchase. By employing omni-channeling strategies, you can remind the customer about the impending purchase the next time he/she gets on the Internet from any device. The reminders can be sent through social media such as Facebook, newsfeeds, or an e-mail.
Sometimes, the tech-savvy consumers shuttle between multiple devices to make a single purchase. An Omni-channeling strategy will ensure that all your channels remain open for your customers to interact with your brand, whether through email, text messaging, social media etc.
In short, Omni-channeling allows marketers to follow their customers and ensure a purchase. It creates a personalized buying experience for your customers and they have the freedom to navigate the whole buying process whereas you, as a seller, assists them in completing the purchase.
