It is here that gathering data from all sources is key.
While all online stores collect data when people buy, relatively few retailers gather their customers’ details in-store – so how do they know how complex their behaviour really is?  Furthermore, retailers must not become complacent.  As the above study shows, just because people actually buy the product online doesn’t mean that they don’t go into the store first, or vice-versa, and so a business’ marketing strategy must target the correct people in the most appropriate way.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I wholeheartedly agree with David Seinger’s comment that retailers must ‘accommodate complex behaviour no matter where customers interact with them’, we must not forget that to accommodate this behaviour, retailers must first understand it.
