Omnichannel Marketing: An Essential Strategy

Relying on a single channel is like putting all your eggs in one basket. Today, it’s simply not enough to capture attention.

Your customers check messages on their computer, smartphone, and smartwatch. They receive hundreds of notifications and messages every day — and ignore most of them.

To stand out, it’s not about doing more, but doing better.

Omnichannel marketing means delivering the right message, at the right time, on the right channel — adapted to each contact’s behavior and preferences.

The best part? You don’t need a team of experts.

With the right tools, omnichannel marketing becomes simple, accessible, and highly effective — no matter the size of your marketing team.

Why diversify your channels now?

Maximize your visibility

It takes an average of 6 to 8 touchpoints to convince a prospect to take action. And these interactions don’t all happen on the same channel. Some people check their emails at work, others respond better to SMS or mobile notifications in the evening. By combining channels, you increase your chances of being seen.

Boost performance and ROI

Diversifying doesn’t mean “sending more,” but sending smarter. With the right orchestration tools, you can adapt both the channel and the timing to each contact’s preferences and behavior. This approach improves open rates, clicks, and conversions — while maximizing operational efficiency.

Create a seamless and engaging experience

Customers don’t see your communications as separate campaigns, but as one continuous brand experience. Consistency is just as important as relevance. By synchronizing your messages, you provide a smooth customer journey where each interaction falls naturally into place.

Beyond short-term performance, a well-executed omnichannel strategy builds long-term trust with your customers.

Must-Have Channels

Email: versatile, rich, and essential

Email remains the go-to channel for maintaining an ongoing relationship with your customers. It allows you to share detailed, personalized, and visually engaging content — all at a low cost and with measurable results.

Best for:

  • Newsletters and educational content
  • Personalized or scheduled offers
  • Order confirmations and transactional messages
  • Onboarding or loyalty sequences

Why it works:

  • Ideal for building mid- and long-term relationships
  • High creative flexibility (text, images, video, CTA…)

Pro tip: Automate, personalize, and test your emails to maximize impact.

SMS: direct, fast, and high-performing

SMS is one of the most effective channels to trigger immediate action. It stands out for its ability to instantly reach contacts wherever they are.

Best for:

  • Appointment reminders
  • Flash or limited-time offers
  • Real-time order or delivery confirmations
  • Product launches or restock alerts

Why it works:

  • 90–98% open rate, often within 3 minutes
  • Response rates up to 45%

Pro tip: Use SMS with hot segments (e.g., active customers, abandoned carts, new subscribers).

Web Push: simple, instant, and cost-effective

Web Push lets you send notifications to your visitors, including anonymous ones, even when they’re no longer on your site.

Best for:

  •  Incomplete signup follow-ups
  • Announcing new products, events, or sales
  • Price drop or back-in-stock alerts

Why it works:

  • No email or app required — just a quick browser opt-in
  • Ideal for re-engaging anonymous or passive visitors

Pro tip: Prompt the subscription at the right moment — after a few seconds on-site, during checkout, or on a return visit.

Mobile Push: personalized, responsive, and integrated

Mobile Push sends notifications directly to your users’ devices, even when they aren’t actively using your app.

Best for:

  • Re-engaging inactive users
  • Post-purchase follow-ups
  • Announcing new offers or updates

Why it works:

  • Visible even on locked screens
  • Strong driver for loyalty and contextual engagement

Pro tip: Trigger notifications at key moments (extended inactivity, in-store visits, recent purchase) to increase relevance.

Personalization: The Key to Effective Marketing

A strong omnichannel strategy isn’t about how many channels you use — but about the quality and personalization of the customer experience.

With Dialog Insight’s smart tools, personalization becomes simple, automated, and scalable. You save time while creating communications fully aligned with each contact’s preferences and behavior.

Your marketing becomes more:

Conclusion

A winning omnichannel strategy doesn’t mean being everywhere — it means being in the right place, at the right time, with the right message.

By activating the channels where your customers are most receptive, you maximize visibility and deliver seamless, engaging experiences.

There’s only one thing left to do: take action!

Advantages and Challenges of Hyper-Personalized Email

Personalization is an increasingly important part of retail in North America. This responds to the needs of new generations of consumers (Generation Y) for whom the purchasing process has changed significantly compared to previous generations. In fact, 71% of current consumers are disappointed when a shopping experience is impersonal (Segment 2017) and 70% of millennial consumers are offended by brands that send irrelevant emails (SmarterHQ).These statistics remind us on the importance of personalizing the customer experience in order to attract their interest, obtain their loyalty and increase their shopping basket. However, to be able to differentiate yourself from the competition, you now have to push the customization to the maximum. It is now a question of hyper-personalization.
