Omnichannel Retail Journey Survey
Understand how shoppers discover, compare, choose, purchase, fulfil, return and repurchase across stores, marketplaces, apps and social channels with confidence, so you can sharpen acquisition, channel strategy and retention at scale.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most retailers don't lose omnichannel shoppers purely on price. They lose them due to inconsistent inventory, fragmented identities, fulfilment delays, confusing promotions and service handoffs, none of which fully show up in sales reports or NPS dashboards.
If you are...
- Omnichannel strategy leaders
- Retail experience heads
- Digital commerce teams
- Store operations directors
- Customer analytics owners
You're likely facing...
- Strong digital traffic but weak store conversion across assisted journeys
- Inventory mismatches create abandoned baskets across channels and locations
- Inconsistent promotions cause price trust erosion between apps and stores
- Fulfilment delays are reducing repeat purchase after positive discovery
- Limited identity stitching obscures high-value customer behaviour across touchpoints
This will help answer...
- Cross-channel discovery triggers
- Conversion friction by touchpoint
- Fulfilment expectation gaps
- Promotion consistency priorities
- Loyalty and repurchase levers
