Multichannel Marketing

11:00 - 11:45 am | Tina Stevens

Description:
In today's marketplace we are all multichannel marketers. Few businesses interact with their customers through just one channel. No matter where they started - retail, catalog, direct sales - most businesses have added an online channel. There is also growing pressure on retail businesses to provide the three major channels to their customers - retail, catalog and e-commerce. Customers now decide where, when and how they want to shop and interact with your business.

The challenge is to manage your brand and the content in each of your channels so that your message is consistent. It is extremely important that every channel your customer visits is a complete and compelling experience. Each channel needs to be fully developed and stand alone, as well as be an integral part of the company brand. A consistent brand provides a unified company message which generates brand loyalty and long-term customer value.

Benefit to Attend:
During this seminar we will discuss the many channels that your customer may be using in trying to do business with you. Learn how to make each channel effective for your business and ensure that no channel becomes a hindrance to your business growth.
