Multi-channel and omni-channel design: Introduction
Multi-channel options:
Customer often use different channels to purchase their service or product. Customer journey.
Channels: offline channels (stores/offices) and online channels (internet, telephone, chat)

Customer perspective: customers often appreciate choice between different channels, like to switch
between channels.  like choose their own mix of channels.

Managerial issue:
- Customers participate in service processes
- Service providers have to decide what kind of channels they offer to customer in each stage
of the service process/customer journey.

,  How to design an omni-channel design to interact with customers and to deliver
services/provide an experience.

Multi-channel management:
- Channel management per channel
- Objectives per channel (experiences/sales per channel)
- Focus on interactive channels (store/online website/chat) and direct marketing like catalogue
Omni-channel management:
- Multiple, integrated channels, providing seamless experience.
- Cross-channel objectives (overall customer experience/sales)
- Interactive channels, mobile channels (smart phones, tablets, apps), social media customer
touchpoints (incl. mass communication channels: TV, radio, print c2c)

Performance of omni-channel design:
- From customer perspective:
o Seamless, consistent, reliable
o Customers include in their evaluation the full service concept: What + how it is
delivered.
- From service provider perspective:
o Provide a fully integrated delivery and experience
o Multiple channels raise coordination (costs) across: variety of customer journeys.
o Maintenance costs: multiple channels.

Omni-channel design: link between customer journey and product flow:
- Co-ordination across:
o Channels
o Different customer journey stages
o Product flow stages is essential

-

Managerial issue: how to design an omni-channel design to interact with customers and to deliver
services/provide an experience?
Two key topics:
- Omni-channel design: balance marketing and operation goals: see key decisions.

, - How to design in practice and omni-channels design that meets both customer preferences
and/or needs and service provider preferences: different types of omni-channel design +
step-by-step design process.
Four typologies of customer journeys applying omni-channel designs: Dimensions:
- Channel redundancy: degree of using different channels in the different process steps
- Channel combination: degree that a combination of channels can be used, switching
between channels is allowed.

-

-
- Assumption: all channels are from the same company although in practice customers might
switch between companies.

Choice of multi-channel and omni-channel design depends on:
- Strategy
- Type of product
- Customer preferences

The design process
Considerations from customer perspective:
- Customers have different requirements during different service stages
- Customers have channel preferences dependent on the service stage
- Customers have intrinsic channel preferences associated with personal traits
Considerations from provider perspective:
- Channels differ in their ability to meet customer requirements as well as operational
(provider) requirements
- Channels can support or canabilise each other
- Design of channel mix has an impact on different performance aspects, such as maintenance
cost, coordination costs, sustainability
