Two major reasons for the popularity of online shopping and buying among women

Three steps to implement multichannel marketing

1. It is necessary to document cross-channel consumer behavior 2. Marketers should employ communication and delivery channels that are mutually reinforcing in attracting, retaining, and building relationships with their current and potential consumers 3. Companies should monitor and measure multichannel marketing performance

Three approaches to viral marketing

1. Marketers can embed a message in the product or service so that customers hardly realize they are passing it along 2. Marketers can make the website content so compelling that viewers want to share it with others 3. Marketers can offer incentives (discounts, sweepstakes, or free merchandise)

Two reasons why it is difficult to monitor and measure multichannel marketing performance

1. The magnitude of data corresponding to which channel(s) each consumer accesses during each stage in the purchase decision process has made data difficult to assemble and integrate 2. The task of assigning the proportional credit to each channel and consumer touchpoint across all online and offline channels for a desired consumer action is extremely complex

Three insights that can be gained from a generic cross-channel consumer journey map

1. The map identifies the communication and delivery channels engaged by cross-channel consumers 2. The map shows the links between communication and delivery channels across the prepurchase, purchase, and post purchase phases of the consumer purchase decision process 3. The map highlights consumer touchpoints that are outside the control of the company, such as comparison websites and social media

three rules of permission marketing

1. They make sure opt-in customers receive only information that is relevant and meaningful to them 2. Their customers are given the option to opt-out, or change the kind, amount, or timing of information sent to them 3. Their customers are assured that their name or buyer profile data will not be sold or shared with others

Legacy companies

Companies that are continually challenged to define the nature and scope of their marketplace presence; these companies consistently refine the role of digital technology in attracting, retaining, and building consumer relationships to improve their competitive positions in the traditional marketplace while also bolstering their marketplace presence (P&G, Walmart, GM); originated as brick-and-mortar stores in the traditional marketplace though they operate online today
