An omnichannel customer experience (CX) is when an organization uses its many direct-to-consumer channels to market, sell to, and support its buyers. It’s all about bridging the digital and in-store divide and treating every touchpoint as one frictionless whole to offer customers an integrated shopping experience. This lets your customers switch between channels effortlessly while maintaining a great experience when interacting with your brand.
Nowadays, consumers require six touch points on average before purchasing an item. During their buying experience, customers expect a seamless omnichannel journey with personalized, on-demand service. NewStore removes siloed engagements and creates a holistic plan to deliver what customers need and want. Retail brands that make omnichannel customer experiences a guiding axis are more likely to increase retention, have a wider reach, and supercharge their sales.
