Fredrik Lange, forskare på Handelshögskolan i Stockholm och programansvarig för Handels 3-åriga program i Retail Management, pratar vi om utmaningarna med fler kontaktytor och nya beteenden för återförsäljare. Tanken med Omnichannel är att uppträda med sitt varumärke på exakt samma sätt i alla kanaler. Begreppet Omnichannel berör därmed all marknadsföring, inte bara butikskedjor.

För att navigera på köparnas marknad pekar Lange mot framväxten av korsfunktionella team som kombinerar insikter om social medier och butiksmarknadsföring med varumärkesbyggande. Team som fokuserar på att:

1. Understödja kundens samtal om din produkt

2. Förstå hur kundens samtalar med andra om din produkt

3. Hitta sätt för att ta kunden den sista metern till köp

Med ''Big data' som kartlägger köpbeteenden kan företag med ökad precision skräddarsy erbjudanden, men kan slå tillbaka om det upplevs att det kränker vår personliga integritet. Det diskuterades nyligen i Filosofiska rummet.
