The main purpose of companies - regardless of the channels and the route to market - is to expand their home category, win in the market, make more money and increase efficiency across channels.
The focus is on orchestrating interactions with customers, buyers, end users at every stage of the sales funnel: discover, connect, buy, advocate
When designing the path to purchase to win both off- and online, it's all about using the exact building blocks (search, social media, media, content, merchandising, advertising) and unlocking effective data tracking and storage.
The biggest challenge in generating demand within the din of competing voices in the new omni-channel universe is to ensure that brands are aligned and deliver both a better customer experience and increased customer engagement so that the business can be managed more efficiently and grow effectively.

Thought needs to be given to digital tools and enabling technologies (marketing automation, lead scoring, CRM) that enable brand content and corresponding calls to action to be communicated to target groups and convert the traffic generated into sales.
The main outcome is an operational master plan that identifies the types of calls to action (recognize, connect, assimilate, apply) that are most likely to capitalize on opportunities in each phase of the buying process (serendipity, discovery, interest, consideration, decision, purchase, advocacy).
