Retail brew: How omnichannel shoppers divide their allegiances between e-commerce and brick-and-mortar stores
Omnichannel shopping is retail’s answer to polyamory, with consumers having fidelity to neither online nor in-store shopping, but rather genuine feelings for both. And to have a fulfilling relationship with these ENM-esque shoppers, retailers want to know when they go out, when they stay home, and how best to communicate with them.
