Multi-channel management is the management, coordination, integration and facilitation of channels and customer interaction. Channels are ways of interaction with the customer, examples are newspapers, books, telephone, internet or physical shops.
These interactions are often separated into three phases.First is pre-sales, the customer is orientating on the market and products availableAfter making a decision the sales phases is were the contract is made and the goods are deliveredFinally is the after sales phase, in this phase the customer is supported in any matter concerning the product.
