4 Key Ingredients for Cross-Channel Marketing Strategies

Given that 78% of marketers believe that cross-channel marketing strategies are important, it is surprising that only 74% of them have only email and display integrated with one other channel. This is according to a recent study by Forrester. In fact according to the study, almost –

half have integrated search retargeting and less than a third have integrated mobile text and app messaging.

The common issues encountered by most marketers include a lack of coordination, not having managers who collaborate well, conflicting objectives that place strains on internal and external resources and insufficient skills to execute and measure cross-channel marketing strategies when implemented.

While technology is increasingly recognized to play a significant role in the on going management of cross-channel marketing strategies, for most companies the investment is generally less than 10% of the companies overall technology budget.

Most marketers tend to use a number of different technologies to try and manage the process of strategy and program execution, data collection and process management across channels. As they do not believe a single solution could handle all that they need. The figure below shows some of the technologies being used to manage cross-channel marketing programs.
