What is omnichannel marketing?

Omnichannel marketing delivers consistent, seamless customer experiences across various marketing channels. It ensures cohesive and relevant interactions regardless of platform and across all touchpoints, from the first brand interaction to the final purchase.

How does omnichannel marketing work?

Customers discover and shop a brand’s products and services across multiple digital and physical channels and all the various pathways that cut across both. Omnichannel marketing integrates all of a company's marketing channels into a single, unified experience. From online – such as websites, social media, and email – to offline – such as brick and mortar stores and even customer service.

How to measure omnichannel marketing:

There are a variety of ways to measure omnichannel marketing performance. Some common metrics include:

• Customer lifetime value (CLV): The total amount of revenue that a customer is expected to generate over their lifetime.
• Customer churn rate: The percentage of customers who stop using a product or service within a given period of time.
• Cross-channel conversion rate: The percentage of customers who start their customer journey on one channel and complete it on another channel.
• Multi-touch attribution: The process of attributing conversions to different marketing channels based on the customer's journey.
