Omnichannel marketing<\/a> is becoming an increasingly essential part of most companies’ marketing mix, as consumers are adapting to the unified communication style utilized by this approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omnisend research shows that eCommerce brands using omnichannel marketing had a 494% higher order rate<\/a> than those using a single-channel campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, omnichannel marketing allows all of your multiple channels to work together to talk to an existing customer or assist an indecisive shopper. For example, imagine a shopper is retargeted on Facebook with the product they abandoned in their online shopping cart. Pushing that further, if they buy the abandoned product, they get an order confirmation via SMS<\/a> or notification, with a detailed receipt via email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all of this to work seamlessly, the data has to be synced seamlessly and near-immediately to provide the best experience for the customer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while seamlessly synced data is crucial, it\u2019s not the only requirement: omnichannel marketing requires a strategy to be effectively implemented. In today\u2019s omnichannel marketing guide, we\u2019ll look at the strategic steps to take to prepare your omnichannel program, and the 5 tactics to implement it effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Identify a buyer persona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You shouldn\u2019t blindly create an omnichannel marketing strategy without knowing who you\u2019re creating your strategy for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ITSMA research, 39% of brands that used buyer personas reported having higher conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding who your ideal customers are will help you understand how and when they like to communicate. For example, customers from the older generation may be happier to receive emails as the main communication channel, with clearer language and slightly longer timeframes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyers from the younger Gen Z audiences would likely prefer a messaging platform like Messenger or WhatsApp, with quicker language and shorter timeframes. What would work for one of these audiences might be annoying for the other, and you may end up losing customers by confusing your buyer personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
