Most retailers still run their website and their store as two separate businesses. We connect inventory, customer data, and pricing across every channel — so a shopper can start online and finish in-store, or the other way, without friction.
Retail marketing solutions include omnichannel strategy design, click-and-collect setup, unified customer data integration, and cross-channel campaign management — connecting a retailer's physical store and online sales channels into one consistent customer experience rather than two separately run businesses.
The number that should end the “online vs. in-store” budget debate: customers who shop both online and in-store spend 3 to 4 times more annually than single-channel customers. Treating a website and a store as competing channels, rather than one connected system, leaves the highest-value customer segment on the table.
One drives traffic to a storefront. The other connects it to physical retail operations.

|---|---|---|

| Shopify SEO | Organic search visibility for a single online storefront. | Ecommerce-only businesses without a physical retail presence. |
The retention gap, the three non-negotiables, and where click-and-collect now sits.
A unified inventory pool visible across every channel in real time. A unified customer identity linking online and offline activity, so purchase history follows the customer everywhere. Consistent pricing regardless of channel, since inconsistency breaks customer trust fastest. Missing any of the three produces multichannel with extra steps — separate systems that happen to share a logo.
Click-and-collect is projected to reach $177.9 billion in 2026, representing nearly 20% of all multichannel ecommerce sales. Offering curbside pickup lifted conversion rates roughly 26% among top retailers, and 58% of shoppers combine online research with in-store purchase. Retailers running 3+ integrated channels see about 250% higher engagement.
The highest-value customer segment is the one that shops both ways — and only exists when the two are joined.

ExploreThe things clients ask us most before starting an omnichannel project.
Retail marketing solutions include omnichannel strategy design, click-and-collect (BOPIS) setup, unified customer data integration, and cross-channel campaign management — connecting a retailer's physical store and online sales channels into one consistent customer experience rather than two separately run businesses.
Yes, substantially. Customers who shop both online and in-store spend roughly 3 to 4 times more annually than single-channel customers, and omnichannel retailers achieve about 89% customer retention compared to 33% for retailers running weak cross-channel programs.
Multichannel retail operates each channel — website, app, physical store — separately, giving customers multiple single-channel options. Omnichannel retail integrates those channels into one connected system with a single inventory pool, a unified customer identifier, and consistent pricing across every touchpoint, letting a customer start a purchase on one channel and finish it on another.
Substantial and still growing. Buy-online-pickup-in-store and curbside pickup sales are projected to reach $177.9 billion in 2026, up 15.3% year over year, representing nearly 20% of all multichannel ecommerce sales. Among top retailers, offering curbside pickup increased conversion rates by roughly 26%.
Three things, at minimum: a single inventory pool visible across every channel in real time, a unified customer identifier linking online and offline activity, and consistent pricing and promotions regardless of channel. Missing any of the three produces multichannel with extra steps, not genuine omnichannel.
Yes, and rising fast. 54% of retailers now consider omnichannel integration their top strategic priority, up from just 31% in 2022, per Salesforce's State of Commerce research — as consumers increasingly stop distinguishing between browsing on a phone in-store and shopping from home.
General and Shopify SEO drive traffic to a single online storefront. Retail marketing specifically connects that storefront to physical store operations, inventory, POS data, and in-store experience — work that only applies to retailers running both online and offline sales channels together.
Yes, and it's non-negotiable at real scale. Understanding how online browsing influences an in-store purchase, and vice versa, requires data-driven multi-touch attribution rather than last-click, since a large share of retail purchases involve research on one channel and completion on another.
