The Integrated Marketing Imperative: Delivering a Consistent Brand Message Across Touchpoints
According to Aberdeen Group, leading retailers are endeavoring to align their brands, product offerings, and marketing messages to be able to deliver a uniform customer experience across all channels.
In fact, 44% of retail leaders consider the development of a multichannel, multi-touch marketing plan as a top strategic action1.
There have been strides forward in omnichannel messaging, with 40% of marketers considering themselves mature in this practice1.
However, there are still shortcomings. Only 25% of
marketing decision-makers report having mobile
marketing processes that are well integrated within the overall marketing mix2.
Business leaders know that customers expect a seamless experience across multiple touchpoints and 55% of retailers consider this requirement as their biggest pressure to create a robust omnichannel experience1.
Only 40% of organizations have a centralized marketing
team, which consolidates all technology and services across
channels, products, and corporate groups2.
According to recent research, the benefits of a multichannel marketing campaign include 2:
1. Better campaign performance: More than 60% of advanced practitioners saw a 10% increase in campaign payback
2. Increased customer satisfaction: Almost 70% of mature marketers report improved CSAT results
3. Shorter sales cycle: Mature marketing teams are 11% more likely to be primary contributors to the sales pipeline and 40% more likely to collaborate with sales, leading to a reduction in the end-to-end sales cycle.
