AN INVESTIGATION OF OMNI-CHANNEL STRATEGY: EVIDENCE FROM A FOOD RETAILER

Abstract

The retail industry is among the fastest growing industries in Turkey and in the world. One of the most important characteristics  of the retail industry is the constant change  and increase  in consumers’ expectations and needs.  The entire  retail industry, especially the retailers themselves, have been affected by increasingly cheaper and more technologically advanced access to information.  Retailers aim to increase customer loyalty by improving  service to end users, and to gain new customers so that their market share can grow. Today, consumers are able to access to retailers through  many channels and touch points, and demand seamless shopping experiences. As a result,  the omni-channel strategy has emerged in recent years, and has become an important means to gaining  competitive advantage. However, few studies have examined how omni-channel strategy is implemented. In this context, the current research uses a  focus group method to examine the practices of  a food retailer with  a higher market share than competitors. According to the findings, there are four basic components contributing to the effective  implementation and management of omni-channel strategy; the retailer's overall perspective, the retailer's consumer perspective,  big data and touch points, and logistics and optimization.
