Stop Thinking Channels, Start Thinking Customer Journey
Let's talk about omnichannel marketing without the buzzwords.
Here's how to actually make your marketing work together:
Map The Real Customer Journey: Not the one you want – the one that actually happens. Your customers don't think in channels, so stop planning in silos.
Make Every Touchpoint Count: • Email nurtures the Instagram follower • Social validates the email subscriber • Website welcomes both like old friends
Connect Your Data Dots: • Track cross-channel behavior • Spot where people actually convert • Understand the full customer story
Why it works:
Customers bounce between channels
Each platform reinforces the others
No missed opportunities
Your 30-minute action plan:
Pick your top 3 channels
Write one message that works across all
Create a simple cross-channel campaign
Example: Launch a product update
Email announces the news
Social shares user reactions
Website shows detailed benefits
SMS drops a special offer
The goal isn't to be everywhere. It's to be everywhere your customer actually goes, with a story that makes sense no matter where they find you.
