Consistency and interactive marketing campaigns build sales.
Multichannel marketing helps brands achieve marketing goals by using multiple channels to reach out to customers. These channels range from traditional media such as TV, print ads and billboards to newer ones such as email marketing, social media and SEO.
According to MediaPost, two-thirds of customers use three or more channels when doing their research before purchase. In addition, customers who use more than one channel have a higher customer lifetime value (CLV) than those who don’t. Simply put, customers who have done the research and chose your company generally spend more and stick around longer.
Surprisingly, while 93% of marketers know that multichannel marketing is a key cog in the wheel, only 73% have a multichannel strategy in place. It seems some marketers don’t know how to get started.

Once you’ve added a user to your mailing list, you can then send email newsletters to gradually convince your prospect that your business knows how to solve their problems. Once you’ve established your business as a credible source of information, you may then offer your product or service as a solution.

Writing in a language that is local to your customers will help you to connect with them easily. If your target audience consists of managed service providers, use language and situations that are familiar to them.
