Omnichannel
Omnichannel is a unified approach to customer engagement where all communication channels — SMS, email, social media, web chat, phone, and in-person — are connected so conversations flow seamlessly regardless of which channel the customer uses.
Omnichannel vs. Multi-Channel
Multi-channel means being present on multiple channels. Omnichannel means those channels are connected. In a true omnichannel experience, a customer can start a conversation on Instagram, continue it via SMS, and have your team see the entire history in one place.
Why Omnichannel Matters
73% of customers use multiple channels during their journey. Businesses with strong omnichannel strategies retain 89% of their customers, compared to 33% for those with weak omnichannel approaches.
