Which is the right channel to reach a customer?
For a long time buying goods has taken place via the two main channels: the website of the retailer and/or the traditional retail sales point. It all used to be so simple as separate channel managers, separate channel-targeted segments, channel-aligned products, customers asked to deal with specific channels etc.
Nevertheless things have changed to date. New interactive features are provided on Websites to reach consumers, for example the possibility to try the product virtually and to achieve customised recommendations while mobile channels form the new mainstream of universal shopping, always and anywhere, via the mobile device. There is a rapid increase in the number of channels that enable users to freely access and compare, choose and buy products. Past studies indicate that customers participate more transactions in the new multichannel scenario as opposed to single-channel buyers (Dholakia et al., 2005, Seck and Philippe, 2013).
Omni-distribution channel is defined as using everything manufacturer/retailer have to gain, provide seamless, integrated and unified experience to retain customers.
Omni-distribution channel is about developing customer relations, but it has various challenges. Studies by Ogden-Barnes & Lowther (2012) on Australian retailing decision-making show that customers are lost due to inconsistent communication across various distribution channels during the first engagement phase of Omni-channel. The Kana Company research on Omni channel in 2013 sums up few Omni-channel drawbacks: the retailers face a fuzz in understanding the definition, mission and location of Omni channel in their organisation.
The omni-distribution channel is still in its infant stages, and its evangelization needs to be accelerated as it has enormous benefits that do not stand up to its dares.

Credit
Deposit
Money management
First of all retail banks offer consumers credit to buy homes,
cars, and furniture.
Include mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards.
Yet multichannel marketing is more complicated than it might
seem. Industries often multiply their channels to face a host of
unintended effects that actually raise costs or cut revenues. For
example, in retail banking, less expensive channels like ATMs
and the Internet have helped to reduce the average transaction
costs by nearly 15 per cent over the past 15 years. However,
transaction volumes more than doubled during the same period,
as customers check their balances and make withdrawals more
frequently than they did during the days they had to wait in line
at a branch. The result was a rise in the total cost of serving
each client.
What is retail banking?
Retail Banking also known as consumer banking or personal
banking, is banking that provides financial services to the
general public
4. Guiding the customers
In order to gain control of multichannel interactions, companies
must begin to limit the platforms that consumers use by
implicitly directing them through the sales and service cycle,
from product recognition to purchasing and supporting post
sales.
to minimize these risks
to use opportunities to direct its clients to the correct channels
to provide a network for mitigating any opposition by its
consumers and channel partners
The right incentives, and the “carrot” & “stick” theory
The Carrot and Stick approach of motivation is based on the
principles of reinforcement and is given during the industrial
revolution by a philosopher Jeremy Bentham. This theory comes
from an ancient donkey tale, the best way to move him is to put
a carrot in front of him and jab him with a stick from behind.

Creating a buzz
5. A buzz is a trigger which results in marketing the word of
mouth.
phrase
tagline
logo
mascot
advertisement
or any other trigger that makes the brand or its product talk to
people.
Which is the right content to reach a customer?
Each consumer group has unique expectations, experiences,
education, political preferences, culture, lifestyles and values
that influence their buying behavior. That is why it’s essential
to use more personalized and thought out content to maximize
the effectiveness of marketing used.
Types of content marketing
Blogging.
Online and physical articles and
sponsored content.
Online ads.
Video (Youtube or TV ads.)
Podcasting.
Social media (Instagram, Facebook)

Influencers.
And many more

When is the right time to reach a customer?
The marketing landscape has changed dramatically in recent
years because of the digitization of just about everything, new
consumer behaviors, and competitive pressures.
Today, more than ever, companies are looking to build and
nurture personalized relationships with customers to drive
increased loyalty and engagement. And although companies'
intent to enhance connection points with their consumers has
evolved, too often their approach has not.
As few as 18% of customers who are typically reached—even
with traditional and digital tactics CMOs consider most
effective—are interested in the promoted product or able to buy
it, according to an Accenture survey of 500+ CMOs. That means
hundreds of billions of dollars spent annually could be spent
more efficiently. It's no wonder that less than half (41%) of
CMOs said they were "very satisfied" with the value-for-money
of their mix of marketing tactics.
7. The new approach of Just-in-Time Marketing
Research has revealed that some companies have taken up a pag
e from the manufacturer's playbook, designing marketing strateg
ies that reduce their marketing inventory dramatically.
They only generate the content that is needed at the very momen
t it is needed; they deliver the right message or deal that targets
customers at a time of need or latent need precisely.
Interestingly, marketing companies that are just –in
time are not generally more interactive, and do not typically inv
est more on analytics.
Instead, they incorporate skills in their operations in a more for
ward-
looking way: they respond to direct demand signals, empowerin
g people closer to "practise" in making decisions.
And they incorporate new requirements
sensing technologies into processes.
The right time to reach a customer
Connect with consumers where they live: social media
Build a presence
Craft a personality
Technology is your friend
Personalized
Amazon pioneered highly personalized product recommendation
emails based on, well, everything: purchase history, past order
value, location, age, gender, and on-site browsing.

Survey of Laura Beaudin
Laura Beaudin: We asked nearly 1,700 marketing and media
decision-makers in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan
about their priorities for achieving their marketing goals in the
next three years. The top response was gaining an improved
understanding and ability to reach the right customers.1 Using
digital insights to understand your best customers and then
market to them, and other audiences who behave like them, is
not new. That's been a strength of market leaders for quite
awhile.
But what we found in this study is that it’s no longer sufficient
to just know who the customer is. We’re entering an era where
being relevant to those customers means building strategies
around timely marketing to ensure you’re reaching
