1 Align your channels with your goals

Before you decide which channels to use and how to integrate them, you need to define your customer service goals and how they align with your business objectives. For example, do you want to increase customer satisfaction, loyalty, retention, or revenue? How do you measure these outcomes? How do you allocate your resources and budget across different channels? How do you train and support your agents to handle different types of inquiries and issues? By answering these questions, you can create a clear strategy for your multichannel customer service.

Treat each channel like a different country, with different goals in each country. Tell the customers the best rules of that country. For example, don't use short form X (Twitter) for long form messages. Reserve a long for message for email and other platforms over 150 Charscters. Otherwise that might be like taking a full basket of groceries with 100 items through the 15 items or less line. Ask the customer where they feel the most comfortable communicating at. Ask for feedback during and after a problem is solved. Always try to keep customer information private and confirm their identity but not too much.

2 Optimize your channel mix

Not all channels are equally effective or appropriate for every customer or situation. Some customers may prefer to call you for urgent or complex matters, while others may want to use email or chat for simple or routine queries. Some channels may have higher costs, response times, or satisfaction rates than others. You need to optimize your channel mix based on your customer preferences, needs, and behaviors, as well as your own capabilities and constraints. You can use data and feedback to identify the most popular, profitable, and productive channels for your business and customers.

One thing I'll add regarding optimizing your channel is being a "universal connection". You want to be effective at connecting with as many clients/customers as you can, but at the same time, being mindful at the execution. You will have a wide variety of clients/customers who may work best at receiving your message through certain channels, meaning if you know you have someone who is very familiar, for example, with receiving a message through an email channel more than a social media channel, then you'll obviously know where to convey your message. Even if you're very effective at conveying a message through a social media channel, the execution may result poorly because the conveyed message may not be received well or even at all.

3 Provide seamless transitions

One of the biggest challenges of multichannel customer service is ensuring a smooth and consistent experience for customers who switch between different channels. For example, if a customer starts a conversation with you on social media and then calls you for more details, they should not have to repeat their information or explain their issue again. To provide seamless transitions, you need to have a unified customer database that stores and updates all the relevant data and history across channels. You also need to have a system that allows your agents to access and share this information easily and quickly.

4 Personalize your interactions

Customers appreciate it when you recognize them, address them by name, and tailor your service to their specific needs and preferences. Personalization can help you build rapport, trust, and loyalty with your customers, as well as increase your conversions and retention rates. To personalize your interactions across channels, you need to use the data and insights you collect from your customers to segment them into different groups based on their characteristics, behaviors, and interests. You also need to use the appropriate tone, style, and language for each channel and customer.

Personalising customer's interactions cannot be over emphasised. The customer needs to have an assurance that they are heard, treated with respect, have their tailored needs taken care of and must be assured of your professionalism at all times

5 Solicit and act on feedback

Feedback is essential for improving your multichannel customer service and ensuring that you meet or exceed your customers' expectations. You should solicit feedback from your customers regularly and through different channels, such as surveys, reviews, ratings, comments, or suggestions. You should also analyze and act on the feedback you receive, by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of your service, making changes or improvements where needed, and communicating the results to your customers. By soliciting and acting on feedback, you can show your customers that you value their opinions and care about their satisfaction.

1) Give equal access and identical information across channels in order to empower customers to use the channel that best suits them and their current situations. 2) Choose only those channels via which you can provide quality service on your product or service. Don't fall for the latest "shinny thing" for its own sake. If you can't provide quality service over a channel it's better to not use it at all !
