What's your biggest multi-channel marketing challenge?

🧠 Multichannel is like an IKEA wardrobe: Looks simple – until you read the manual.🤯 Many brands and sellers kick off with high ambitions – and end up in operational chaos just weeks later. Why? 👉 Because Amazon plays by different rules than Zalando. Because your PIM logic doesn’t match your middleware. And because customers expect top service everywhere. Our partner PlentyONE recently named 10 common Multichannel pain points for sellers share in a new whitepaper – plus actionable advice to help you regain control: (sponsored) 🔹 1 | Blind beginnings: “We’ll just start with Otto and Kaufland” – no strategy, no roadmap. 🎯 Tip: Get clarity first – assortment goals, margins, target groups & market potential. 🔹 2 | Every system speaks a different language: SLAs, API docs, onboarding routines – sounds like red tape? It is. 🎯 Tip: Review requirements early & assess technical compatibility honestly. 🔹 3 | Tool chaos instead of platform architecture: Too many small tools = too much manual work. 🎯 Tip: Start with scalable, integrable systems – don’t try to patch later. 🔹 4 | Equal service level everywhere: Customers expect the same speed and tone on every channel. 🎯 Tip: Automate standard cases, solve escalations with empathy – and use feedback to improve! 🔹 5 | Too few people, too many tasks: Multichannel isn’t a side project. 🎯 Tip: Define roles clearly, simplify processes, and use tools that don’t overwhelm non-tech teams. 🔹 6 | Lost the Buy Box – and no one noticed: Pricing too slow, stock not updated, shipping delays. 🎯 Tip: Set up automated controls for pricing, inventory & fulfillment processes. 🔹 7 | Product data: too long, too short, too wrong: Every marketplace has its own rules – and your content gets messy fast. 🎯 Tip: Use a central PIM system + clear content standards = visibility and conversions secured. 🔹 8 | Marketing runs – but without impact tracking: What’s your return on those Sponsored Ads on eBay or Zalando? 🎯 Tip: Only invest where performance is trackable – with ROAS tracking and A/B testing. 🔹 9 | Tax issues blocking growth: Packaging laws, EPR, VAT – cross-border selling gets complicated fast. 🎯 Tip: Automate compliance & keep your processes clean from day one. 🔹 10 | Great revenue, bad margins: Multichannel costs money – tools, people, logistics, ads. 🎯 Tip: Check your profitability regularly. More revenue is not success if nothing sticks. 📘 Are you looking for more practical help?

Marketplaces are no longer just a channel; they are a strategic muscle that brands must flex accordingly. As marketplaces have become the new search engine for consumers to discover and shop for products, multi-channel selling is now critical to the way brands do business. That said, simply being present on multiple marketplaces is not enough. A successful multi-channel selling strategy necessitates meeting consumers with the right supply, in the right locations, and with the right capabilities at all times. This involves gaining comprehensive visibility into your inventory, not just for your supply chain team, but also for integrating this data with your sales and marketing strategies. Take geo-targeted advertising, coupled with a fast-shipping promise, for example. The starting point of this strategy is understanding not only the amounts and locations of your inventory, but also the real transit times to consumers in addition to how much inventory is allocated to each channel. With this visibility, an inventory overstock in Las Vegas, for instance, could lead to a marketing campaign offering free 2-day shipping to customers within a suitable ground footprint to effectively clear out excess stock. By aligning supply chain data with your marketing and sales strategy, you can create personalized offers based on a shopper's location and available inventory location. This is just one strategy that's critical for competing across commerce. What strategies do you implement with the right inventory visibility in place? #omnichannel #commerce #supplychain #salesstrategy

Published a case study with my client Watsons on their results testing Omni Ads when it was just a beta earlier this year Post pandemic, retail had a revenge come back But here's the problem, we kept optimizing our ads like it was 2020, last click attribution to ecommerce sales was the focus metric even for retailers So our product team at Meta started developing omnichannel ads as a solution to measure and optimise for online and offline sales Watsons Thailand was the perfect candidate for testing the beta solution as they - had 750+ stores across Thailand - was already sending offline events via CAPI - had a strong web and app ecommerce We ran a multi cell Conversion Lift Study to test: A. Their usual ads: Optimized for online purchases B. New omnichannel ads: Optimized for actual customer behavior (Online + Offline) Same creative. Same targeting. Same budget. The results? - 16.5X lift in return on ad spend for omnichannel ads, compared to usual ads optimised for purchases - 80% lower cost per conversion lift for omnichannel ads, compared to usual ads optimised for purchases - 3.4X increase in offline purchase value for omnichannel ads, compared to usual ads optimised for purchases The winners will be retailers who understand that online and offline aren't separate channels. They're different moments in the same customer journey. #meta #omniads

Hot take: Understanding the unique impact of each channel on your strategy isn't just valuable – it’s mission critical. Especially as an omnichannel brand. This is where Prescient AI comes in. Prescient AI specializes in Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), helping brands understand the incremental contribution of each marketing channel—whether that’s Meta ads, Amazon, or in-store promotions—to their bottom line. So how does Brij fit into this equation? Imagine this: Prescient AI’s analysis uncovers that your Meta ads are creating a halo effect—driving not only DTC sales but also lifting in-store purchases. That insight is powerful, but the next step is acting on it. This is where Brij comes in: With Brij, you can capture retail customer data using QR codes on product packaging, inserts or in-store displays. Use this first-party data to create lookalike audiences on Meta, boosting both your DTC sales and further strengthening the halo effect on retail. Or let’s say you create a Brij-powered rebate experience, promote it through your Meta ads, and capture even more retail customer data. You can use Prescient AI to analyze the results to see how that rebate campaign impacts your DTC sales—and refine your strategy even further. With Prescient AI providing actionable insights on channel performance and Brij enabling customer engagement across all touchpoints, brands can not only understand the halo effect but actively enhance it—turning insights into growth.

Do you measure Meta/Google ads only against your online (dtc) sales? Don't forget about the halo in other channels. Those same Meta/Google Ads are also driving sales on Amazon, Target, Sephora, your own Retail/POS locations... Simple Example: Beauty brand running Meta. - Spend: $100k - Incremental DTC sales: $280k - iROAS (DTC Only): 2.8x Not bad, but might look like it's barely break-even once you factor in costs. When you factor in other channels... - incremental Amazon Sales (+$110k) - incremental Sephora/Ulta Sales (+$50k) Total incremental sales: $440k - total iROAS: 4.4x Much better. CFO happier. ...and room to scale. A few notes: 1. you can do this w/ MMM 2. inc/geo tests can get a more accurate lift. Although sometimes more challenging w/ partner channel data. 3. run the analysis against each channel individually (then combine) 4. Diff. channels have different profit margins (eg. DTC could be 65% while AMZ is 25%). Weight accordingly. TLDR, if you're only measuring digital spend against digital sales channels you'll undervalue them. Measure the halo. #incrementality #mmm #halo #retailanalytics

Lets talk: Unlocking Success with Retail Analytics When the ecommerce industry grew, pundits announced the death of Retail. One of our E-tail (Ecomm and Retail) clients sustained the wave, because their leadership used data at every step of their strategy, even with their store design. They said, our store is our website and the UI/ UX should be ‘top notch’. Until few months ago, they just knew ‘what’ their customers want, but not ‘when’ and ‘how’ they prefer to shop. Their campaigns were not personalized. Centralizing data and creating an attribution model helped them achieve those two insights. Now, we keep refining the model for various demographics and the leadership can’t seem to stop loving those insights. In addition, they started using data to: 📈 Optimize Inventory: Avoid overstocking or understocking by predicting demand with precision. 📊 Boost Profitability: Identify top-performing products and underperforming areas to allocate resources effectively. 🌟 Predict Trends: Stay ahead of competitors by forecasting market shifts and consumer preferences. Ultimately, analytics goes beyond just numbers; it's about enabling businesses to provide the right value to the right customer at the perfect moment. 💡 Let’s talk about how data-driven strategies can reshape the retail experience. The below image from Zuar sums up perfectly how data analytics can contribute to better Retail performance. Have you used retail analytics in your business?
