“The speed at which omni-channel commerce
continues to grow is being led by consumers
and continues to move faster than some
brands can handle. Marketers need to provide
a seamless experience, regardless of channel
or device. And each piece of the consumer’s
experience should be consistent and
complementary.”
PFSweb, 7 Omni-Channel Trends in 2015
Three Tenets
1. Think Omni Channel
a) Deliver a coherent message across channels
2. Eliminate Friction
b) Make it easy for the customer to interact however, wherever and whenever they
choose
3. Leverage Data for Relevance
c) Collect customer preference and behavior data across channels and utilize in
real time
@SusanPrater
Omni Channel Strategy Development Process
1. Start with the Customer Benefit
2. Enforce Consistent Messaging and Share Assets
3. Cross Promotion Rules
4. Putting the Data Puzzle Together
5. Frictionless Experience
6. Learn from the Pros

Your Marketing Calendar
@SusanPrater
What Do Your Customers Want?
Look to what your engaged customers are telling you:
• Search terms – both SEO and on your website
• Popular website and email content
• Customer Service and Sales – they truly hear the voice of the customer
• Social Media
• Ratings & Reviews
@SusanPrater
“A majority of the
lawn care
conversation in
social media falls
into ‘when to apply’
or ‘should I wait to
apply/do
something.’”

o Retail
o Twitter
o SMS
Cross Promote
@SusanPrater
In-App Cross Promotion
@SusanPrater
• LTV of online shoppers is 2X that of retail-only customers; for multi-channel
customers, LTV is 5.5X.
• Customers who shop in-store and online spend 3.5X more than customers who
shop in-store only. Those who shop in-store, online and via mobile spend 6X more.
• Multi-channel customers are 4X more valuable than those who shop in-store only.
• Mobile App users spend 81% more than Power-Up Rewards Pro Members. For
every $1 of direct sales online, multichannel businesses are influencing 10X that
amount in Stores.
Multi Channel Customers Spend More

So How Do I Connect the Dots?
• Clean up existing databases and consolidate
• Build a database of anonymous users and add to customer profile when a connection
is made
• Use progressive profiling to add critical data to your customer profile
• Use email address as the app user name (a must do!)
• Request SMS opt-in alongside email opt-in
• Provide an opportunity to collect their social media handles

Editor's Notes

  1. We are not spreading out our usage across more devices, we’re actually consuming more Mobile digital media time in the US is now significantly higher at 51% compared to desktop (42%) http://www.smartinsights.com/internet-marketing-statistics/insights-from-kpcb-us-and-global-internet-trends-2015-report/attachment/mobile-internet-trends-mary-meeker-2015-1/
  2. Today’s shoppers bounce back and forth at their own speed in a multi-channel marketplace. The path to purchase in not linear – it can take many twists and turns along the way. They switch devices to suit their needs at any given moment. They search; go off to look at reviews, ratings, styles and prices; and then search again. They see ads on TV and in newspapers and online. They walk into local stores to look at products. They talk to friends, over the back fence and on social media. Then it’s back to ZMOT for more information. In short, the shopper’s journey looks less like a funnel and more like a flight map, as John Ross of Shopper Sciences has called it. Shoppers dart back and forth as they touch down — again and again — not at cities but at all the information hubs on their journey.
  3. And it’s not just retail. For these common activities, the action starts on a phone: searching, browsing, planning a trip, managing finances The Multi Screen World – From Google
  4. As we think about our customer experience, we often forget that they are not reading every word, are not ready to subscribe, set up an account, download our app. If we want to succeed on a large scale, with prospects who are not engaged, we need to surround them with our message, and make it easy for them to interact with us, however and whenever they choose.
  5. Sophisticated marketers have a communication plan that may look something like this. This shows what we want to talk to customers about throughout the year. But the question is: what do they want to know from us? We have specialized knowledge that they want a piece of.
  6. Use these resources to get the customer perspective. Remember that we want to scale programs for customers who are not engaged with our brands. So an “us” mentality will not work for them.
  7. Scotts wants to share their products with customers, as they do on this FB page. But they made this observation by monitoring social media. And that lead to a focus on the LawnCare Program. Customers answer 4 quick questions to get a customized plan for their geography, because lawn care in Michigan is not the same as lawn care in Florida. Many channels drive to this plan – search, social, mobile, email.
  8. The real benefit to the customer is the reminder – what to apply & when. They should be able to choose how they want to be reminded via the channel they choose. They aren’t forced into the linear path to purchase we marketers often believe a customer takes. In the current Scott’s environment, once they see the plan they can print it (doesn’t work for mobile devices), sign up for email or download the app (which don’t scale to the unengaged). Scott’s is taking a broader approach.
  9. Collaboration tools (Basecamp, Sharepoint, etc.) to facilitate sharing, communication and version control without regard to firewalls are indispensable Media Bin for CMS
  10. Appoint an enforcer – with teeth – to keep departments and agencies from adding their own spin. Marketers worry about redundancy, but drastically overestimate customers’ attention to our messages. Repetition is effective.
  11. Single View of the Customer Recognize and respond to the customer across channels Perform a customer data audit What do we have For what % of customers What do we need How & where can we get it
  12. CVS offers an incentive to update my customer data. Old days – paper form. Maybe never entered, sitting in a warehouse somewhere. Don’t use for prescrip, why create an account? This gives me an incentive. What else do they know about me from my loyalty card? Phone number. You can’t send SMS messages without permission, but if I sign up for SMS, they would be able to link that to the rest of my data. Note sign up in-store option
  13. Tabbed Preference Center puts all info in one place but doesn’t make it look like a homework assignment. Facebook social plug-in allows customers to like the brand without leaving the page and going to FB, where attention spans go to die. When I come back to the Preference Center, they recognize that I don’t use them for prescriptions, where the big $$ are, and work to collect that data and cross promote that feature. If I don’t want to add prescription management, I have the option to refill by label – a simpler first step.
  14. The real benefit to the customer is the reminder – what to apply & when. They should be able to choose how they want to be reminded via the channel they choose. They aren’t forced into the linear path to purchase we marketers often believe a customer takes.
