Within the past decade, omni-channel marketing has grown. The digital era alone has multiplied to include mobile, email, video, organic search, social media, display advertising and digital broadcast. While this has created unparalleled opportunities for businesses to reach targets and strengthen relationships, it has also added layers of complexity.
Today, it is no longer a simple mix of brick and mortar integration, or even “bricks and clicks” integration. Rather, with the advancement of social media, mobile media, always-on communications, the Internet of Things and multi-channel markets, the new catchphrase is “omni-channel.” Yet, some marketers still insist on managing each channel separately. They struggle to keep the messaging and strategy seamless as well as control waste by setting budgets based on individual key performance indicators (KPIs).
So, what do we know about this world? Is it truly different than multi-channel? Do the traditional theories and approaches work in such an omni-channel world? What new capabilities do firms need to put in place to take advantage of this world?
