The Emergence of Omni-Channel Marketing: An Industry View and Perspective
Location: Room N426ab, North Hall, Level 4
7:00 – 10:00 am
Complimentary breakfast panel sponsored by XPLOR.
Communicating via multiple channels often still falls short of a true omni-channel approach. As marketers and transactional communication stakeholders begin to leverage a single view of their customers (and prospects) more strategically, the customer experience becomes an interaction with a brand, not a channel within the brand. Consumers want to engage with a brand at their retail store, online, via mobile app, through their hardcopy bill, direct mail piece, catalog or social media via a seamless customer interaction, independent of channel or device. The consumer experience must be consistent across their preferred channels.
