An Example situation of Omni-Channel Marketing

There are Mr. A who want to buy a wristwatch but uncertained about the material, and want to try whether it suit him well or not. Hence, he contact the store via Facebook fanpage to ask if this model was for sale at a branch near his house or not. 

After that, the admin page check the stock of products and inform to Mr. A. Also, the staff forward the basic information about Mr. A like the name and model of the watch that he want to the staff at local shop. As soon as, Mr. A went to the branch, he only tell the staff a name. There are a staff to take care of him and provide him the watch. But in this case, he don't buy it immediately because he would like to find more information and need more time to decide.

Therefore, the staff recommend a promotion for him to add friend on Line Official Account in order to receive a discount coupon and follow the store's new update. Finally, he decide to buy it.

In order to improve and expand our products and services to be more effective and meet customers' needs. it can encourage the customer to replete the order or recommend it to others. Retargeting can be done by sending advertisements or promotions that relate to the target customers' interest and this will make who we call “Target group” become “Our customers” later.
