According to Google, 90% of multiple device users switch between screens to complete a task<\/a>. That\u2019s right: they\u2019re constantly in motion. So, why not start thinking from this perspective?<\/p>\n

What is Omnichannel Marketing?<\/h2>\n

Connection. That\u2019s what it’s all about, and Omnichannel Marketing is your guy. It basically helps brands interact with customers on all the channels they already hang out on. The main objective? Make customers take action. For that, you\u2019ll meet them on the corner (channel) they usually hang out on.<\/p>\n

But hey, it is not as simple as recording your grandma telling jokes for TikTok. There’s a whole science behind it. Every message has to be on-brand, on-point, and cohesive across channels. We\u2019ll go deeper on this. Ready? Grab a drink and we\u2019re all set!<\/p>\n

Omnichannel Marketing in Email Deliverability<\/h2>\n

Customers are not opening your emails? Maybe you need to reach them where they are most comfortable and responsive. You need to give the main fortress (email sending) a break and try different fronts: Facebook, X, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, LinkedIn, you name it. Why? You\u2019ll gather data on what grabs your customers\u2019 attention, polishing your strategy from every angle. In other words, you need to get out of your house to make some friends.<\/p>\n

Imagine you\u2019re a rock musician hosting jam sessions in your basement. It\u2019s fun, sure (no sarcasm intended, don\u2019t worry). Friends show up, good times roll\u2014but it\u2019s always the same crowd, same sound. After a while, it gets old, and you\u2019re craving something new. So, you hit up some pop, metal, jazz, even Latin gigs. You meet cool people, chat a bit, and it turns out, they dig rock too! You share your stuff, they love it (naturally, you\u2019re a great musician). Next thing you know, your jam sessions are packed with fresh faces and new sounds, and you\u2019ve outgrown the basement!<\/p>\n

Strategies for Effective Omnichannel Marketing<\/h2>\n

1. Build a consistent messaging across platforms: <\/strong>Your brand needs to be as recognizable as that one friend\u2019s laugh. Consistency across platforms builds trust. Imagine logging onto Twitter and seeing a sleek, modern logo, but then hopping onto Facebook, where it\u2019s a completely different vibe\u2014bright, messy, and unpolished. Confusing, right?<\/p>\n

2. Segment your audience:<\/strong> Divide, tailor and you\u2019ll reign. You wouldn\u2019t craft the same content for baby boomers and gen Z, right?<\/p>\n

3. Guide them smoothly through different platforms: <\/strong>Take them on a tour to show your brand! Cross-promote. For example: Drop a teaser on X, highlight a key point to spark curiosity and\u2026 boom! You\u2019ll lead them to the full blog.<\/p>\n

4. Peak Engagement Hours:<\/strong> Email\u2019s prime time is mid-morning on weekdays (when everyone arrives at the office), while SMS shine during evenings or weekends (when folks have their phone at hand). Now listen: Squeeze those gold minutes!<\/p>\n

5. A Note on Oversending: <\/strong>Just keep it interesting, not overwhelming.<\/p>\n

6. Behavior-Based Timing:<\/strong> If somebody subscribes to your newsletter (in the case of email), YOU NEED TO SAY AT LEAST \u201cthank you for subscribing\u201d, or, in the case of a coat purchase, for example, ask for the coat\u2019s performance. Wouldn\u2019t that be nice?<\/p>\n

If the customer takes action, DON\u2019T FALL ASLEEP AND FOLLOW-UP! That means they\u2019re interested. Use the momentum.<\/p>\n

Improve Deliverability in Omnichannel Marketing<\/h2>\n

And here, dear fellows, are the well-known good practices we always repeat, but applied to a omnichannel context:<\/p>\n

1. Data Quality:<\/strong> Ensure your customer\u2019s data is accurate, up-to-date, and complete.<\/p>\n

2. Personalize:<\/strong> If you\u2019re doing a good job with personalization, your emails, and any type of content, will likely end up delivered and seen.<\/p>\n

3. Optimize for each channel: <\/strong>Each channel has its unique characteristics for deliverability and engagement. So? So better start hopping into TikTok trends.<\/p>\n

4. Test and Monitor:<\/strong> Like all the practices related to marketing, pal.<\/p>\n
