What is an omnichannel strategy?
An omnichannel strategy focuses on creating a smooth and unified customer experience across all channels and devices. It connects all touchpoints—in-store, smartphones, social media, websites, or more—into one seamless journey.
With this approach, customers can easily switch between channels without losing consistency in their experience. For example, they can start shopping in a physical store, continue on the brand’s social media profile, and finish the purchase on the website.
What is the difference between multichannel and omnichannel?
Having multiple channels for customer support and sales doesn't automatically mean you're using an omnichannel approach.
A multichannel strategy offers various channels—such as a physical store, website, and social media—but each channel operates separately with its own goals and strategies. This isn't considered an omnichannel customer experience.
An omnichannel approach, on the other hand, integrates multiple channels into one cohesive strategy. It ensures a consistent customer journey across all touchpoints in real-time, with every channel working together toward the same goal.
What is an omnichannel contact center?
An omnichannel contact center is a customer support hub that integrates various communication channels, such as phone, email, chat, social media, and more, into a single, unified system. This allows customers to switch between channels effortlessly while receiving consistent, high-quality service.
Businesses outsource omnichannel contact center because it allows them to:
Elevate cost-efficiency;
Remove the need to hire additional staff;
Better address different customer behaviors;
Improve the coordination of channels;
Deliver superb customer experience.
