Multi and Omnichannel Marketing

Omnichannel marketing seamlessly integrates the different communication channels that businesses use to communicate with customers. 

What’s Multichannel Marketing?

Multichannel marketing is the implementation of a single strategy across multiple channels or platforms, maximizing opportunities for interaction with prospective customers.

A channel could be direct mail, email, a print ad, a retail location, a website, a promotional event, a mobile app, SMS messaging, a product’s package, or even word-of-mouth.

What’s Omnichannel Marketing?

Omnichannel consists of a multi sales strategy that provides the customer with an integrated shopping experience. Each channel works together to create a cohesive experience.

• Spend 10% more when shopping online.
• Are more loyal, with a 23% increase in repeat purchases.

Direct Mail’s Role in Multichannel Strategy

Once a prospect receives a mail piece, they are more likely to recognize and interact with your brand and messages in other channels.

Direct mail is also a great tool to keep your audience engaged. Send a personalised piece to share special offers with current customers, re-engage with past customers, or connect with social media or email subscribers who are not yet customers.
