The Top 10 Omni-Channel Retailers

Omnichannel strategy is not just for retailers, if you are a manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler you need to take charge of your omnichannel strategy.


As I explain in my latest video above, Omnichannel strategy is more than a strategy for retailers.

If you are a manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler you need to take a comprehensive view of your omnichannel strategy.

Through research, we have put together a list of who we view as the top omnichannel retailers of today.

  1. Walmart - Tremendous execution, integration, and speed in how they connect with merchandising, logistics, and vendors. All while, improving quickly through large investments and corporate commitment to connecting with customers.
  2. Apple - Exceptional strategies and merchandising of media via the web, along with incredible in-store experience.
  3. Starbucks - A beverage and food company that really gets that today we are all “tech” companies.
  4. Neiman Marcus - Internet sales channel represents 25% of revenue.
  5. Best Buy - The one-time poster child victim of show   rooming, has fought back admirably with sound omnichannel strategies and tactics embracing today’s retail realities.
  6. Home Depot - Strong in both B2B and B2C markets.
  7. REI - A great mobile strategy built around a strong app and well integrated with their marketing and customer engagement campaigns.
  8. Nordstrom - Bringing their customer service ethic to omnichannel innovations in differentiating customer service strategies and tactics.
  9. Sephora - Uses real-time store inventory visibility through website to incentivize store visits, as well as online purchases.
  10. Walgreen’s - Taking their “convenience” ethos and applying it to omnichannel execution.

The common definition of omnichannel is: a retailer connects with consumers anyway, anytime, and anywhere the consumer desires.

In my latest video above I explain how this definition is woefully inadequate and that true omnichannel strategy and execution involves connecting customers, retailers, vendors, wholesalers, distributors, transportation, and delivery firms and other service providers.
