" Move beyond industry and category terminology to select a frame of reference that captures the full range of consumer choice. " Communicate brand benefit(s) in a way that is relevant and engaging to stakeholders. " Move away from reasons to believe that are technical or less relevant to customers and find support points that are believable and compelling. " Think about how channel strategy can reinforce/dimensionalize brand positioning.

American Marketing Association Planning Strategy Business > Brand > Channel
59American Marketing Association Clever but True
60American Marketing Association Old Model " Channel strategies used to be relatively simple. •  Messaging occurred through traditional, 1-way communication channels (e.g., TV/print/ radio/OOH advertising, in-store collateral, events). •  Products distributed through brick & mortar/catalog channels. " Prospects engaged and moved through funnel in predictable, linear stages. •  People generally started at the same point (i.e., similar level of knowledge) and methodically guided through process. •  Company controlled brand, message, conversation, buying process
61American Marketing Association Today’s On-Demand Culture " Consumers are increasingly empowered and demanding •  People no longer passively accept/trust information provided by marketers. •  People no longer let brand owners, retailers, communication channels dictate agenda. " Marketing now more complex due to (customer) ‘accommodation’ mandate. •  Technology changing customer access, purchase process, success factors

63American Marketing Association Era of Customer Accommodation: Success Factors " Calibrate comprehensive channel mechanisms based on customer interaction preferences/patterns. •  Communications (content, lead generation/qualification). •  Sales (transactional access, fulfillment) •  Support (pre-/ post-purchase service). " Understand customers and their journey to design idealized purchase process and usage experience. •  Defines how/when/where to “touch” customers for optimal access, relevance, impact. •  Determines channel choice, prioritization, and investment. " Enroll and equip the organization to succeed in a multichannel universe. •  Marketing Department leads multichannel development process. •  Enterprise-wide delivery across touchpoints (i.e., areas beyond control of Marketing Department).
64American Marketing Association Communications: New Landscape " Customers control conversation about companies, brands, products. •  Blogs, posts from peers exert significant influence (across all life stages, most industries). " Marketers now need to prioritize 3 distinct types of information channels to accommodate customers

69American Marketing Association Funny, but true Now we will cover: •  Multichannel Marketing Challenges •  Strategic Success Factors & Frameworks •  Multichannel Case Examples
70American Marketing Association Multichannel Marketing Challenges " Obsolete mindset & practices: stop viewing channels as silo’d vehicles. •  Think about it as customers do: a set of related engagements that deliver cumulative value. Orchestrate end-to-end delivery of desired customer experience. •  Success increasingly dependent on channels outside of Marketing control (inside and outside their organizations). Enroll all partners in delivery of strategy.

73American Marketing Association Multichannel Success Factors " Framework #5: Must-Do Steps
74American Marketing Association Enroll the Organization " Set specific goals. •  With any marketing effort, before embarking write down what it is exactly you are trying to accomplish (generate awareness, leads, revenue?), along with target numbers not just for the overall plan, but for each channel that you plan on using. " Bridge operational silos. •  You might not be the owner of all the channels that will be going into your cross-channel marketing plan. So coordinate with each team leader so everyone knows which part they have to play. Also, determine how credit will be given to each team if the campaign proves successful. " Get executive buy-in. •  Building an integrated marketing plan requires a decent amount of work and patience before seeing results, so make sure anyone that has a say in the matter is aware of your plan, the opportunities and risks involved, and gives you the thumbs-up to move forward.
75American Marketing Association " What info/support do stakeholders need within each channel? Across channels? " How do they seek it out? When? What format? " Which conditions/parameters? What frequency? Info Hierarchy by Channel Engage Customers through Relevant Channel Content
76American Marketing Association Use 360 Views to inform Accommodation Marketing " Develop information infrastructure. •  Technology now enables us to collect, process, and mine more customer data faster than ever before from online and offline channels for multidimensional view of customers. –  Capture transactions, complimentary 3rd party data, digital activity, customer feedback loops. –  Standardize file structures/formats. –  Embrace multichannel analytics. •  Mine at increasingly granular levels to inform channel strategy that delivers the desired customer experience. –  Micro-targeting, personalized contact/relevant content/targeted offers (i.e., go beyond pushing out mass communications). •  Distribute customer information/insights across the organization to deliver seamless customer experience and boost performance. –  Share customer requirements within and across multiple channels.
77American Marketing Association " Track what’s critical to customers engagement/satisfaction that enables multidimensional views/response. " Track what’s critical to business success, integrated from discrete sources. " Select cohesive, multichannel analytics/ tech solutions to aggregate diverse formats/file structures to inform cross-channel/full funnel attribution models. " Harvest insights to inform next practices (micro-segmentation, channel weighting). Use Multichannel Measurement & Analytics
