The study also revealed that 71 per cent of retailers surveyed said they do not have a position in their company with ‘omni-channel’ in the title.

According to the report, brand distributors, dealers and retailers should not fear direct-to-consumer brand sales, provided the brands share customer orders with them. About 57 per cent of those surveyed said that they would like the brands to send them orders to fulfill. Respondents were also not averse to brands selling their products on eBay and other marketplaces, as long as the dealer and retailers share in the benefits of those orders and customers.

For brands, it is an easy way to drive online sales, and for retailers it is the perfect opportunity to strengthen their relationships with customers because you are getting their online orders to them quickly with the possibility to have a paying customer in the store,” said Stevens.

“Retailers need to know that they are at a critical point where they need to commit to omni-channel, now. It’s no longer in-store or online, it’s in-store with online,” he adds. (RKS)
