Basic assumption Successful Channel-Mix For which customers should we sell Which product or service Which channels? 3 E Trap: Don t try to sell everything to everybody and everywhere!
Cannibalization VS Revenue increase 1. Organizational structure There are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Each multichannel retailer has to decide for itself what to integrate and what to keep separate. 2. Data Integration CRM - Another major challenge in crafting successful multichannel strategies is to build an integrated information technology (IT) infrastructure so that data across channels can be linked. 3. Consumer Analytics Customer Data mining - the increasingly multichannel nature of consumer shopping and purchase behavior calls for a better understanding of their decision processes and new approaches to monitoring and measuring their experience, satisfaction, and loyalty. 4. Evaluation and Performance Metrics Global software motivates multichannel collaboration - there is a need to develop performance metrics that take into account the individual nature of each channel and cross-channel effects of any retail mix decisions, and motivate multichannel collaboration.
Retail mix decisions 2 Main conflicts between channels : 1. Fears of cannibalization (shifting sales from one channel to another) 2. Differences in prices and margins across channels The key retail mix decisions that all multichannel retailers have to make: Product or service selection, Parity in pricing across channels, Promotion, marketing communication, Inventory management, Fulfillment, Return policies. Multichannel retailing is an ever-evolving phenomenon!
Potential synergies Cross-channel customer communication and promotions - use of one channel to promote another Cost-effective testing and marketing research (product, prices, marketing communication,.) Shared common physical assets and operations. Spreading fixed costs across channels can create economies of scale and scope. A cross-channel complain policy also creates cross-selling opportunities - retailers can encourage customers to shop in the stores when they come to return online and catalog orders. Effective stock management - sales of aging stock + risk management
What s essential? Integration Integrating all the operating parts allows you to optimize each customer interaction. Consistency Ensuring customers receive the same brand message across channels and interactions. Flexibility Convince and support insights to meet changing customer needs. Insight Delivering analysis across connected channels enables proactive customer focus.
Multichannel Management New channels are not just added, but successfully integrated Channel management competences are deployed Synergies & independences in the channel-mix are defined Customers are satisfied with the channels and their benefits Conflicts are understood as a condition without which there is nothing
