CUSTOMER JOURNEYS & OMNI-CHANNEL MANAGEMENT

If you open a retail newspaper these days, you will hardly find a copy that does not contain the keywords customer journey or omni-channel management. With changing customer behavior, customer journeys are becoming more complex, and it is becoming increasingly important to understand them. The second terminology describes a sales strategy in which retailers sell their products through different channels. However, what exactly is behind the terms, how do they influence each other, and why are they making such big waves in the retail industry? The following chapter will show you why the buzzwords are also relevant for your business and what you need to consider when developing an omni-channel strategy.

Executive Summary


Digitalization has not only manifested itself in our everyday lives, but it also has a far-reaching influence on our purchasing behavior and decisions. The success of companies largely depends on how satisfied customers are with their shopping experience in various online and offline channels and their interaction. This REDx course introduces two essential focal points for companies that are currently making waves in the retail industry in this context: customer journeys and omni-channel management. The customer journey comprises all contact points (so-called touchpoints) with which a customer comes into contact before, during and after the purchase of a product or service. In the digital age, the customer journey is becoming increasingly complex, which is where omni-channel management comes into play: this involves the coordination and interconnection of all touchpoints, with the aim of optimizing the customer experience across every digital and traditional channel. This REDx course provides a comprehensive overview of omni-channel management as well as customer journey strategies with the goal of maximizing customer value and company profits. In addition, current study results, practical recommendations for action as well as tips for companies and numerous best-practice examples are presented so that the customer experience can be continuously improved with digital opportunities.
