2. OMNICHANNEL
TREND 1:
Although not new, the definition of omnichannel continues to
evolve as brands and retailers are finding new ways to connect
with consumers and drive purchase. Transactions are happening
in places never before thought possible like directly from editorial
magazines, from walls of a train stop and from vending machines
for nontraditionally vended products from virtually anywhere. By
having a deep understanding of the consumer’s path to
purchase, brands and retailers can create omnichannel
experiences that motivate purchase when, where and how
shoppers are most apt to buy. !
How can retailers and brands keep up with shoppers’ growing
demand for multi-channel shopping? !
