Omnichannel Communications to Improve Customer Experience
You have many options for communicating with customers. Your company can call, send emails, text or send printed documents and notices. How do you unify various channels of communication to create a seamless experience for customers? By partnering with CSG to design a comprehensive omnichannel communication strategy.
Omnichannel communication strategy benefits
Higher customer retention rates
An omnichannel strategy puts all the data and information you need about a customer at your fingertips, making it easier for your company to recommend the products and services that will best meet the user’s needs.
Increased customer loyalty
With an omnichannel approach, you can provide a consistent experience, no matter how a customer communicates with you.
Improve customer service
Customers realize that no matter how they contact your company, they’ll receive the same messaging and assistance.
Provide a seamless customer experience with minimal disruption, even if the customer switches channels.
What is omnichannel communication?
Omnichannel communication unites the customer experience across multiple communication channels. The goal is to provide a seamless customer journey and experience with minimal disruption, even if the customer switches channels halfway through.
Omnichannel communication is sometimes confused with multichannel communication, but the two are different. Omni means all, while multi means more than one.
The two methods also take a different approach to communication. With omnichannel communication, you put yourself in your customers’ shoes and examine your business from the lens of their desired outcomes. To truly improve customer experience, customers need a consistent experience across every interaction.
If your company has siloed communications across channels, each channel may have different positioning and messaging, which can negatively impact the customer experience and lead to confusion.
How to develop an omnichannel communication strategy
With an omnichannel communication strategy, your company can harmonize its print and digital communications, increasing customer engagement and understanding. Here’s how to develop your strategy:
- Know where your customers are: Explore the channels your customers use most frequently, such as social media, print, your website and internet searches.
- Develop buyer personas: Put together buyer personas based on what you know about your existing customers and the customers your company wants to reach.
- Map and automate their journeys: Next, map out the journeys your customers are likely to go on to identify touchpoints.
- Integrate channels: Finally, work the channels into your strategy, deciding which ones are most relevant and how to tie them together.
