Multi-channel Integration
Talbots wondered: How do you use the online channel to drive sales across all of the company's channels? By creating "Style Search," Molecular helped the retailer find the answer they were shopping for.
Integrating multiple customer touchpoints has been an important operational and marketing objective for decades; organizations have struggled to provide a seamless, brand-consistent experience across retail outlets, call centers, IVR, telesales, websites and channel partners, regardless of company size or industry.
The growth of e-business has added a new dimension to channel strategies. Yet, even as organizations have embraced this new opportunity, the implications and challenges have become increasingly evident.
The integrated management of all channels to provide the best customer value and experience, while profitably maximizing revenue, share of wallet and loyalty, has become a top priority. Accordingly, organizations must decide how - or if - to influence the use of one type of channel over another, and must therefore make the high-tech and high-touch channels work in concert.
Molecular's multi-channel integration services combine business and technology assessment, opportunity identification, requirements definition, development, and implementation - all based on core capabilities that include architecture integration design, user experience integration, and application integration. Through these services, we help our clients improve customer acquisition and service, leading to more loyal and profitable relationships - and better understanding of their constituents, leading to more informed choices for future channel investment.

"Unlike other sites tailored to the professional runner, the Run Easy movement emphasizes that running, for many, is not a competition, but a lifestyle. With creative leadership from Carat and Isobar, we were able to develop tools to translate this philosophy to the Web, offline and mobile channels. Consumers can completely customize their experiences and connect with others around the world, sharing their passion for casual running through sound, user-generated content and interactivity."
