For retailers, the right digital solution doesn't necessarily have to be ground-breaking. It should grow with the business and focus on performance, accuracy and efficiency. Marketers know the challenges that multichannel digital behaviour brings. They know they must remain flexible to meet customer needs and find new ways to succeed in today's changing markets. Having the right data is key. However, they need to learn how to develop and scale their organisation's most effective response without breaking their budget.

In this interview, Frederic Etienbled and Peter Jozefiak talk about the partnership between Hypertrade and Comosoft, which offers a seamless integration of retail and multichannel marketing solutions that enable retailers to effectively tackle a wide range of challenges. Through continuous innovation, the partnership equips retailers with the tools to adapt and excel in a dynamic market environment.

By many accounts, it can be difficult for teams to find what they need quickly and efficiently, even from within their organization. In fact, 26 percent of workers between the ages of 35 and 44 spend up to 5 hours each day looking for the data, assets, or information they need to do their job. Even with an intuitive digital asset management (DAM) system, finding the assets you need can be challenging without smart practices.

What’s Next in Multichannel Marketing? Companies that employ multichannel marketing approaches benefit significantly from these strategies. Why is this? It’s because that’s how today’s consumers shop. In fact, 95% of modern consumers use 3+ channels to make decisions before purchasing. Brands that employ a multichannel strategy to meet these consumers across platforms and channels experience a 3x higher level of effectiveness in their marketing strategies.

There are many digital asset management systems available today.
To pick the right one, you must understand your pain points and your organization’s requirements.

To make the customer experience central to their marketing strategy, retailers must thrive in offline (print) and online digital channels. The retail customer experience is not an easily definable event – or even a series of events. It’s a complex relationship, not a checklist of dos and don’ts.

Here’s the exciting thing about brand consistency: It pays off. In fact, it can increase revenue anywhere between 10 and 20 percent. Brand consistency is about providing your customers with the same experience and impression of who you are as a company when they interact with you, no matter the marketing avenue or communication channel.

E-commerce brands need a way to manage consistent, high-quality product information across print and digital channels. PIM systems can provide that single source of truth. Digital e-commerce (conducting business via the Internet) is nothing new. The first such transaction involved the sale of cannabis via ARPANET in the early 1970s. But ever since the recovery from the dot-com bust of the early 2000s, and especially since the emergence of smartphones, buying online is the new normal.

Those claiming that the power of print is waning need only look at the numbers to see how far this is from the truth. Print media is one of the most trusted media channels among consumers, who reportedly trust newspapers and magazines to help make a purchase more than any other type of advertising. In fact, 82 percent of Americans rely on newspaper and magazine advertising as a reliable source.
