More touchpoints, more obstacles

The advantage of social for retail marketers is that they can engage during every stage of the customer lifecycle. But that same benefit also creates their biggest challenges:

  • Delivering exceptional customer support amid a high volume of messages and even higher expectations
  • Creating a unified social presence across multiple platforms to serve the diverse needs of a segmented audience
  • Measuring impact, monitoring brand health and keeping pace in a highly competitive and volatile industry
