Successful Omnichannel Retail? Then a digital strategy is a true must!

Retailers constantly face new challenges. They must deal with lockdowns, economic fluctuations, increasing digitalization, the rise of international players…

That’s why more and more retailers choose an extensive omnichannel approach. They go beyond a strategically placed QR code or a webshop with a limited product range. Smart retailers follow a well-thought-out digital strategy with a focus on omnichannel.

Discover how we support major omnichannel retailers such as Ava, Aveve, Maxi Zoo, X2O, Bristol, and Twice as Nice.

What is omnichannel retail?

Today’s challenges mean that retailers constantly need to adapt. The classic model no longer works—but which approach does?
We’ll briefly explain the different options:

Single-channel retail

Single-channel retail is the “classic” form. A single-channel retailer sells products through one channel: a website, marketplace, webshop, or store.

Hybrid

Multichannel retail

Multichannel retailers go a step further. They give customers the ability to buy products whenever and wherever they want. However, their different sales channels are not aligned, which can lead to price differences and communication issues.

Omnichannel retail

Omnichannel retailers put their customers at the center. Consumers can buy products at any time and through any channel. Omnichannel retail revolves around experience and uniformity, without any deviation in price, service, or information.

Omnichannel Compass

We help retailers with a clear omnichannel compass. Here, we compare ROAS on e-commerce, LTV, and the value of footfall with the efficiency of traditional media.

A digital strategy for omnichannel retail

Omnichannel Retail is the business model for retailers in the digital age. It’s the most efficient way to win the hearts of customers and convince them to (re)buy from you.
That’s why we focus our digital omnichannel strategies on different aspects:

Why choose an omnichannel approach? What is the goal? How does omnichannel retail contribute to your growth?

Who are our different customers? When are they looking for what? How can we respond better?

Which channels do our customers use? Why? What motivates them to click on social ads, emails, etc.?

What data is available? How can we combine online and offline data sources? How do the different channels strengthen each other?

What steps do we need to take to grow into an omnichannel retailer? Which to-do’s are crucial? What is needed for that?

What about ROAS on e-commerce? How long is the lifetime value? What is the value of store visits? How does this compare to traditional media?

How do you set up a successful omnichannel organization? What people are needed? What about recruitment, retention, training…?

Hybrid

A strong digital strategy provides clear and practical answers to these questions. It serves as a blueprint to grow into an omnichannel retailer.

Strategic solutions for retail

The digital strategy of another retailer? Chances are it’s not applicable to your company. Omnichannel retail revolves around your customers, not those of your competitors. That’s why Hybrid offers different strategic approaches:

Online Performance Audit

The Online Performance Audit is the starting point for retailers. We analyze your current approach, objectives, processes, resources, and campaigns. On top of that, we give the necessary tips to transform your business into omnichannel retail.

Are you a single-channel retailer? Do you already have some years of multichannel retail experience? Or are you not getting the desired results from your omnichannel approach? Our strategic experts can help you either way.

We’ve already done this for many other retailers. Together with well-known names like Impermo, X2O and AVA Papierwaren, we made the leap to an omnichannel approach.
