Is it necessary to have a single price across all channels or is it better to change the price? This is undoubtedly the first question that pops up in the mind of any brand or retailer that is building its omnichannel strategy or expanding its existing one.

Data is the new oil in today’s age of AI, but only a lucky few are sitting on a gusher. So, many are making their own fuel, one that’s both inexpensive and effective. It’s called synthetic data. What Is Synthetic Data? Synthetic data is annotated information that computer simulations or algorithms generate as an alternative to real-world data. Put another way, synthetic data is created in digital worlds rather than collected from or measured in the real world.

Finding new customers can be one of the most challenging aspects of running a business, which is why it is so important to look after the ones you do have to convert them into repeat buyers and loyal customers. Targeting people who have already bought something from you makes sense because they have already shown an interest in your company and products, have disposable income, and are willing to spend it, and they already know your company and platform.

Many retail cultures do not encourage the sharing of challenges or failures and even sometimes the sharing of successes. Therefore, if the culture you work within is against sharing lessons, it may be something that never enters your mind or your team’s, especially if that business is all you have ever known. In our home life, this is the same. If you are brought up not to share failures and to just suck it up and get on with it, then chances are this same behaviour will play out in your life.
