Shoppers have seamlessly integrated digital channels as part of their path to purchase and this shift is changing the way different categories are now consumed. Brands and grocery retailers must develop a comprehensive strategy to pivot with the shifts of the marketplace. Shoppers aren’t just omnichannel in terms of how they’re exposed to marketing; they’re omnishoppers that fluidly move between each channel to make the purchases that meet their needs. Marketers must approach them holistically if they want to capture the right touchpoints and influence them to become repeat shoppers or loyal customers. Perhaps most critically, marketers must understand where target shoppers are purchasing various product categories and why those channels are chosen.
