• Multi and Omni are Not the Same• Two Different Schools of Thought• Distinction is With the Strategy of Your Ecosystem
Multi-Channel vs Omni-Channel
![Page 18: March 17 2017 Inbound Lunch Bunch: Building Digital Ecosystems that Deliver ROI](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58e4d02e1a28abf5048b46c9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Multi-Channel• One-way silo
communication on each channel that causes inconsistency in tracking ROI and managing your overall voice.

The strategy is operational and to broadcast communications through each channel independently.
Issues with Multi-Channel
• Doesn’t answer:• How is the ecosystem connected?• What if a buyer has multiple touchpoints (they always do)?• How do we buy, implement and measure each one?• Silo communication between departments.

Omni-Channel• Onmi-channel
keeps the user at the center of the ecosystem and captures all touchpoints.

Strategy is buyer-centric and creates a two-way communication between you and the buyer.
Benefits with Omni-Channel• Answers• Ecosystem connects through all software application and
channels• Buyers journeys tracked regardless of the channel• Measure each channels performance• Communications have a consistent voice.

Key Considerations
![Page 28: March 17 2017 Inbound Lunch Bunch: Building Digital Ecosystems that Deliver ROI](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58e4d02e1a28abf5048b46c9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Connectors, Connectors, Connectors!• Pre-built & configurable• Available connector to integrate?• Available through Zapier?• APIs or web services? • Add codes to websites?
• What will it cost?• Additional licenses to AMS?
![Page 29: March 17 2017 Inbound Lunch Bunch: Building Digital Ecosystems that Deliver ROI](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58e4d02e1a28abf5048b46c9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Particular Gotchas We Need to Watch:
• Platform charges you to connect each new system• Custom integration by company that doesn’t have platform
expertise or only expertise in one platform, but not both that are being connected• Web-based platforms that don’t allow for putting in codes
to allow for interconnected tracking
![Page 30: March 17 2017 Inbound Lunch Bunch: Building Digital Ecosystems that Deliver ROI](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58e4d02e1a28abf5048b46c9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• Case of the Mondays:
• We’re not there yet• We need to crawl, walk, run• We want to do this….someday• I don’t think we’re ready for this• We are going through a web redesign and then will do
inbound afterwards

• So You’re Telling Me:
• You can wait for revenue• You are fine with running your organization through
guessing• You’d rather not know• You’re scared to know• You would rather stay comfortable• You don’t know how to lead change effectively
