About this episode
A perfect omnichannel strategy example: stories as a service
Whether you’re a major enterprise that has an array of products and brands, seeking to increase brand loyalty and your footprint in each of your customers, or a small brand needing to differentiate, getting your customers will and able to widely share their success stories is vital.
In either case, Gina Balarin, author of “The Secret Army: Leadership, Marketing, and the Power of People”, cuts straight through fluffy brand theory and presents a repeatable model and approach that you can apply for greater omnichannel success: Stories as a Service.
Customer stories need
- multi-departmental collaboration to find them
- a governance workflow that works fast enough to get them out before they’re stale, and
- the technical know-how to build the right experience around them across all your channels and touch-points.
They’re a perfect example of why you need an omnichannel strategy, and how if you have one, it can be leveraged to develop optimal business value. When your organisation is built around customer relationships, you can efficiently and effectively capture and leveraging one client’s success story to produce a positive feedback loop into your whole customer and prospect ecosystem.
