Welcome to the latest in our series of Internet Retailing<br />
supplements, where this month we're looking at<br />
cross-channel retailing.<br />
Since we first covered multichannel retailing in-depth<br />
in an Internet Retailing supplement two years ago, the<br />
landscape has changed enormously. Customers have<br />
become more sophisticated as technology has evolved,<br />
and today shoppers simply expect to be able to shop<br />
whenever and wherever is most convenient. No longer are<br />
they browsing and buying in one channel rather than<br />
another – what we call multichannel. Today they want to<br />
research, browse and buy in the channel that's at their<br />
fingertips at that moment in time, whether that's a PC, a<br />
shop or a smartphone<a title="Internet Retailing Supplement July 2012 page 1" href="http://viewer.zmags.co.uk/publication/5e6ec2e9?page=1"> CROSS-CHANNEL RETAILING July 2012 </a>
