• We moved from single to omnichannel. The different types are:
• Single-channel = just one type of touchpoint (e.g. store —> client)
• Multi-channel = multiple touchpoint acting independently, retailers’ channel knowledge
and operations exist in technical & functional silos (e.g. store/web/catalogue —> client)
• Cross-channel = customer sees multiple touch points as part of the same brand.
Retailers have a single view of the customer, but operate in functional silos (e.g.
store&web&catalogue —> client)
• Omni-channel = customer experiences brand, but not a channel within the brand.
Retailer leverage their single view of customer in coordinated and strategic ways.
—> Example of channels: shop, magazine, app, online store …
• Customer journey = a description of modern multichannel behaviour as consumers use
different media to select suppliers, make purchases and gain customer support.
1. Orientation —> what do I want?
2. Searching (inform) —> what are the options?
3. Customisation (configure) —> what suits best with my needs?
4. Comparison —> compare competitors
5. Purchase (sell) —> decide and buy
6. Usage —> use of the bought product or service
7. Share (stimulate) —> share thoughts on product or service with others
• Within omnichannel service, it is hard to determine what works best, as there are different
users, goals and channels. Also, one should be available 24/7.

objects (it Is limitless and present everywhere) Used for:

result. (same input gives same output. Algorithms can combined to perform complex tasks)
, 2. Digital marketing
• How to get traffic to your web shop:
- Search marketing (SEM, SEO, paid search, pay-per-click = PPC)
- Online PR (publisher outreach, community participation, media, branding)
- Online partnership (affiliate marketing, sponsors, co-branding, links) \
- Interactive ads (site-specific media buys, ad networks, behavioural targeting)
- Opt-in-email (house list, cold = rented list, co-branded, ads in third party)
- Social media (audience participation, social presence, campaigns, feedback)
• SEM = Search Engine Marketing, a form of internet marketing that involves the promotion of
websites by increasing visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs) through optimisation
and advertising
• SEO = Search Engine Optimisation, the process of affecting the visibility of the web
page in unpaid results
- natural / organic / earned results —> based on text, pictures and links
• SEA = Search Engine Advertising, a method of placing online advertisement on web
pages that show results from search engine queries.

are the paid listings, that are paid-per-click (PPC)
SEO PPC
Pro’s - promising lasting ROI (return on investment) - Quick set-up

Con’s - hard to measure - Expensive

- Susceptible to ad-blindness
• Ad-blindness = people do not want to click on adds. Google prevents this by not hiding it.
• Conversion = number of people visiting your website and actually make a purchase.
• What influences the conversion, regarding SEM:
- Quality score (tested by google)

- Advertising (e.g. google ad-words)
—> set up a budget in advance. If you do not do the unpaid part well, the
paid part will get more expensive!
• On the web, bots/crawlers look for good websites. Therefore, SEO is important. Crawlers
must first find the website before it appears on the web. They also indicate the quality score.
—> The more often adjustments takes place, the higher the crawling frequency is!

go on to click on the ad. It is often PPC. —> rates are dropping!
- Targeted ads: user sees an ad of your website after visiting it, when being on
another site (use of cookies!).
• Email marketing: collect emails with permission (opt-in), send message in co-branded email
newsletter of a partner, buy a third party email newsletter. Best ROI!
• 80/20 rule: 80% of the content is targeted, 20% is of the own agenda.
