“Feeling” is the secret – and never more so than in Home & Garden

American writer Dale Carnegie was quoted as saying “When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion.” With this humanistic approach in mind to modern-day retail, brands worldwide need to find a way to stay emotionally connected with customers throughout all possible touchpoints, without relying solely on an online approach. But how?

Re-engage and re-energize your customers’ journey with an omnichannel approach

It will come as no shock to discover that the customer journey has significantly changed over the last few years through a mixture of intentional technology, social media influencing, and COVID-19. If it translates to a more affordable and convenient shopping experience, 90% of consumers are open to sharing their behavioral data with brands. Omnichannel solutions can provide a great way to shake up promotional and seasonal campaigns to re-engage and re-energize your customers before the competition does by:

  • Leveraging touchpoints. By analyzing and leveraging data gathered from different devices that consumers use to search for your products, a truly personalized journey can be mapped out based on consumer habits and preferences.
  • Assessing early funnel behavior. Knowing what motivates your customers early on gives you the best chance of delivering information at crucial times – especially during the initial stages to reinforce the importance of why they originally searched for your product.
  • Embracing technology. 93% of consumers expect a digital experience that matches or surpasses the in-store one. Many consumers engage in both online and in-store shopping or opt for online purchases with in-store pickup. When it comes to buying home goods, 40% of consumers primarily follow this hybrid shopping approach. Consider implementing technology that will rev up an omnichannel experience.
