The Omnichannel Paradox: Why More D2C Isn't Always Better
When a brand increases its presence in one channel like DTC, it doesn't necessarily mean overall revenue will grow proportionally. In fact, beyond a certain point, growth in one channel actively cannibalizes revenue from another. This creates the "Omnichannel Paradox" – the counterintuitive reality that maximizing a seemingly more profitable channel can decrease total revenue.
Why is local the most influential sales channel?
When shoppers see, touch, and experience products in their local community, it creates trust and drives immediate purchasing decisions. Local retail acts as a vital connection point between the digital and physical worlds, effectively converting online browsing into offline buying. Moreover, local presence fosters stronger brand recall, enhances credibility, and supports community-driven consumer loyalty, laying a solid foundation for long-term growth.
