Developing a multichannel strategy was one of the biggest challenges faced by the organizations in the past, but there is a significant drop from 42 % to just 23 % in executives’ responses about it this year. It reflects that the enterprises have overcame the perceived barriers and implemented at least some form of working solutions to omni-channel retailing.
C-level Executives’ Growth Strategies for the Next 2 Years
In terms of growth strategies in the coming two years, O2O marketing and real time data analysis are ranked as third and first respectively. 28 % of surveyed C-level executives said they will seek to develop more integrated O2O marketing and fulfilment strategies to bridge online and offline channels, and 37 % of them want to become more data-driven to generate more real-time insights.
