WHAT IS OMNI-CHANNEL?
Your customer doesn’t see her world in channels.
She might see your brand in channels, and that’s a problem.
Omni-channel is the idea that you can meet your customer’s
needs and expectations wherever she is, whenever she wants.

MOBILE IS COMPUTING
For many people,
“computers” are the

Tablets aren’t mobile.
They’re your laptop from
