The hallmarks of successful Omni-channel marketing are:
Customer is King
Building a customer-centric organization that believes in catering to the customer first can go a long way
in acquiring and retaining customers. A customer-centric culture, if ingrained in the marketing efforts,
helps target customers at all stages of the purchase cycle. Convenient and valuable interactions with the
customers despite the diverse set of channels is an indicator of efficacious efforts.
Strong Customer Analytics
The real-time behavior of a specific individual rather than prior transactions history must be studied and
captured for better customer reach. This allows companies to better understand the consumer and
customize the shopping experience with individual offer sets. Location-based offers can be tailor-made
to attract new shoppers and to reward the existing ones. It helps create campaigns that engage
consumers through the whole buying cycle and then tracks the results that follow.
Guarding the Customer
With the right Omni-channel marketing efforts in place, a unified view of the customer is conceivable.
However, a robust monitoring and security system is also necessary to safeguard the customer
information. For an ongoing relationship between the brand and the client, the latter must be made to
feel protected and safe at all times.
Compromising customer data not only results in losing the customer but also puts the reputation of the
organization at risk.
Brand-wide Consistency
An area where most brands operating in multiple channels fail is sending across a consistent message
through all channels. Online and offline stores are considered different entities by companies, this
causes disparity in product offerings and results in loss of customer trust. One must be able to interact

with the customers both at individual level and in real time. This requires integrating campaigns across
social media, mobile channels, emails, point of sale, brick and mortar stores, internet etc.
Seamless Delivery
Satisfying customer experiences can be achieved with seamless delivery processes in place. Ensuring
that customers can interact across multiple functions and channels with consistent promise of delivery is
important for acquiring, growing, engaging and eventually retaining the customer. A consistent and
personalized shopping experience across channels leads to repeat business. It enables greater campaign
effectiveness without increased spending.
Customer Innovation
Constant customer innovation involves moving at a fast pace to identify new trends by taking smart
risks. Most profitable customers can be identified, rewarded and retained. Highly targeted promotional
offers can be created in real time according to the customer movement. This results in increased basket
size, cross selling and up selling.
