When it comes to formulating a multi-channel eCommerce strategy, many brands often stumble, mistakenly interchanging tactics with strategy. Understanding the distinction between these two concepts is crucial for ensuring the long-term viability of your business, starting with your eCommerce strategy.
What is a “Tactic”? What is “Strategy” in Ecommerce?
So, what exactly is a “tactic” in the realm of eCommerce? Simply put, tactics involve the execution of specific tasks aimed at achieving short-term goals. On the other hand, a strategy takes a holistic view of your business and brand DNA, devising a comprehensive plan that integrates data with your business rules.
Why Strategy First?
But why is it essential to prioritize strategy first? In today’s hyper-digital landscape, the success of your business heavily relies on the efficiency of your applications. Ensuring clean and accurate data within each application is a fundamental aspect of your overall strategy. By establishing this foundation, you can then focus on executing tactical tasks and seamlessly integrate your applications, confident that reliable and precise data will flow seamlessly through each one.
Furthermore, it’s crucial to recognize that each application functions uniquely and has distinct data requirements. A thorough understanding of what is necessary for success within each application streamlines the integration process, paving the way for a smoother path to achievement.
