“At the end of the day, it all boils down to one simple concept: When you send a relevant message, you’re going to have better customer engagement. Omnichannel marketing allows you to send more personalized messages by adapting them to the customer as they move through their purchase journey. Brands need to be where their customers are, on the channels that their customers use.”
