Make Facebook a Part of Your Multi-Channel Campaign

The mantra of every savvy multi-channel campaign manager should be, “Be where the people are.” In today’s hyper-connected world, the majority of people can be found on one or more social networking sites. The one platform that reigns supreme is Facebook. According to a 2015 study by the Pew Research Center[1], 72 percent of U.S. internet-connected adults use Facebook (while only 23 percent use Twitter). So, if you’re planning a multi-channel campaign, it would be wise to incorporate Facebook – where your current and future supporters are.
Omnichannel marketing is exactly what the name suggests, touching prospects and supporters across every channel and taking advantage of the multiple touch points available: television, print, radio, telephone, email, websites, digital and more. Ironically, though, omnichannel marketing is nothing like the term suggests. It is not the limitless outbound flow of messaging attempting to influence behavior without regard for the recipient. Omnichannel marketing places customers and their channel preferences uppermost.
