“Many retailers are clearly missing a trick by not having a multi-channel offering built into their customer service. Consumers will take their business elsewhere if they are not getting quick and personalised service back from the retailers. This is particularly important as consumers today have come to expect a choice of channels to use to get in touch with companies.

“Showing customers that they are valued by providing them with multiple, equally well-served, access points is critical to engendering loyalty and growing the customer. In addition to this, the intelligence gathered from these channels can help the business refine strategy, choose products and revise inventory.”
