That’s why omni-channel is so important in today’s market.

What is Omni-Channel Retail? 

It’s the ability to connect the dots between all channels (i.e. a physical store, an online store, or on social media). Omni-channel retail is designed to give a cohesive user experience for customers at every touchpoint. 

Who and How?
