Editor's Notes
[introduction]
The valueof across-channelstrategyisclear but a lotoforganizationsare still askingthemselves: „Howcan I get a singleviewofthecustomer?“BUT theyshouldratheraskthemselves: „Howcanmycustomersget a singleviewofmybrandregardlessofthechannelstheyareusing?““Retailers say they want single view of customer; that’s the inside out approach. You have to think of the customer having single view of a brand, or of a retailer. That’s today, and that’s what’s different.”You have to make it easy for consumer’s to interact with your brand! Consistent Experience:- Consistent answers/information no matter on which channel or touchpointthe interaction takes place (sounds simple, but not the case today: different avalibilities, different pricing, different stock locations, different product specifications -> customers are confused and are not buying)Ability to continue a dialog/communication when switching channels (brands should know how their customers interacted with them on different channels, i.e. when a customer walks into a store, the store clerk should have the information of past online browsing history and help the customer to finish the buying process)- Equal treatment on all channels (today: too much focus on digital channels, but physical stores are not connected -> customers want to get treated the same way on all channels) Organizations need to:- Enable brand consistency in terms of the context of underlying assortments, offers, promtions content, across all customer touchpoints- Provide a real-time system of reference that enables single views of product, pricing and promotions, inventory, orders and customers- Incorporate mobile- Platform that is built on an open foundation and easly integrates legacy systems as well as emerging touchpoints and experience-focused technologies
