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:

  1. 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.

  2. Make Every Touchpoint Count: • Email nurtures the Instagram follower • Social validates the email subscriber • Website welcomes both like old friends

  3. 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:

  1. Pick your top 3 channels

  2. Write one message that works across all

  3. 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.
