Sales Spread Across Online, Catalogs, and Brick-and-Mortar Shops

Retailers need multichannel approach to succeed.

 

October 25, 2007CIO — What channel do your customers use when they go shopping?

All of them. Even that old-fashioned paper catalog.

So what channel should all you supply chain, operations and marketing gurus focus on?

Uh-uh. No focusing allowed in today’s channel-agnostic, mashed-up world.

  • 43 percent of catalog customers have also purchased from their online store.

  • 35 percent of online customers have also purchased from their brick-and-mortar store.

  • 66 percent of retailers measure the success of their catalog by how it increases online sales.
