29 key considerations for adopting an omnichannel strategy

About the Guide

Omnichannel is no longer a nice-to-have strategy for brands and retailers—it’s becoming a requirement for ecommerce success. An omnichannel strategy aims to create a seamless customer experience with your brand.

Unlike multichannel marketing, omnichannel marketing and commerce require your systems, platforms, and sales channels to be integrated with each other. With effective automation, you can collect and transfer data across various touchpoints to reach more relevant customers, deepen the customer-brand relationship, and streamline your operations.

Do you know which omnichannel marketing tools you need to succeed? Where do you start?
