Research model Integrated Multi-channel Shopping Value. 81 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com ABSTRACT Due to constant change is one of the defining characteristics of contemporary societies, and obviously the retail industry.
This claim is confirmed by theoretical and empirical research that seeks to solve the ongoing digitalization and retail innovation. It includes fluctuations in business models, increasing the diversity of channel and store formats, from changing retail technology to fundamentally new ideas and concepts. These challenges require retailers to devise new strategies to capture and meet the escalation of customer expectations. Recognizing the change of the new business context, physical retailers today have made the switch from communication model to applying multi-channel business model combining e-commerce and establishing door.
To support this, the author studies how retailers have integrated shopping channels and interacted with customers. Thereby solving the problem of product satisfaction and creating seamless customer experience with special value, thereby leading consumers to expect consistent service and even lead to brand experience experience. In parallel, digitalization gives consumers access on the internet to increase their expectations in terms of shopping. Therefore, it has given them the ability to be consistent, replace and simultaneously use countless offline, online and contact channels throughout their shopping journey, which makes too many channels available.
shopping, there will be more journeys and a lot of potential customers' unexplored shopping motives to be the void of this topic. After evaluating the results of the research with reality, the thesis described the relationship between the initial motivation of shopping for different shopping channels and the integration of shopping channels together. The opposite effect on customer purchasing motivation. And more specifically, the research results that answer the question of measuring the level of multi-channel experience high or low will depend on the exposure and navigation of retailer shopping channels for customer types.
That is, from shopping results show that the initial needs of customers will be enhanced more or less when starting at different channels and will eventually bring different shopping value to customers. The results of this research have great implications for companies that care for customers, individuals working in marketing, advertising and psychologists in customers' shopping. Beneficiaries are customers when they experience the perfect shopping journey and feel satisfied with the product or service. Along with that are retailers when their products are preferred by customers and choose to buy.

LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION In this chapter, the important role of integrated multi-channel in the relationship between multi-channel shopping value and shopping motivation has been shown, especially in an uncertain business environment today. The non-linear shopping journey of customers is also described to clarify the impact of multi-channel on customer shopping journeys. In addition, this chapter illustrates research in the context of Vietnam with dimensions suitable for specific Vietnamese culture.
Moreover, the purpose, scope and meaning of the study were also introduced. Research background and research problem 1. Integrated Multi-channel: If in the past, the behavior of shopping using multiple integrated channels was little known. But in recent years, the popularity of the "Integrated Multi-channel" concept has increased, however, there has been very little research done on Integrated Multi-channel behavior.
There have been many studies on multi channel and cross channel shopping behavior (Konuş et al., 2008; Neslin et al., 2006; Verhoef, Neslin, Vroomen, 2007) but only at discovery level. Multi-channel shopping is shopping on different channels, for example in physical stores and online on a website. In multi-channel shopping, each channel has its own strategy. Multichannel refers to a strategy of continuously operating channels as independent entities (Yan et al.
As for cross-channel shopping, there is a strategy for all channels and consumers to use different channels. Cross-channels integrate multiple channels to allow consumers to move and feel through channels and points of contact (Chatterjee, 2010; Schramm-Klein et al. Integrated multichannel is considered an upgraded and complete form of cross-channel shopping model and is located at the position of the highest near-continuity. Regarding the existing literature (Ailawadi and Farris, 2017; Beck and Rygl, 2015; Lemon and Verhoef, 2016; Rapp et al., 2015; Verhoef et al.
Integrated multichannel can be called the complete cohesion of different channels and touch points, leading to an optimal brand customer experience. Such cohesion requires a systematic adjustment of retail strategies and operations at channels regardless of the point of contact, and then leads to customer locking in the ecosystem retail brand. And now, consumers use several channels in the buying process, both online and offline: channels like websites, webinars, social media, physical stores, on-device apps. mobile, catalog and more.
By mastering the integrated multi-channel retail model, the retailer will make consumers feel the transition between these channels is easy and continuous and they will experience all the channels together as one complete channel. For example, when consumers will go shopping at Phuc Long repair tea shop, they can use the App application on their smartphone; This app can show consumers 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com a personalized shopping list and shopping route, after which they will move and receive their goods at the nearest store that has been suggested. Consumers experience this app and the store is a complete channel. This seamless shopping experience is called Integrated Multi-channel shopping Integrated Multi-channel is effectively used to increase sales and optimize customer experience.
When applying the Integrated Multi-channel model, you must ensure to provide customers with seamless and consistent experience whether in real stores or online environments. 2 1 LUAN VAN CHAT LUONG download : add luanvanchat@agmail.com In the current reality, consumer buying behavior is unpredictable and unpredictable by distributors when it is no longer a straightforward step: determining demand => seeking information = > compare to make a decision => purchase (offline or online) => satisfied => speak good about the product. that has evolved into a non-Linear Customer Journey continuous jump cross between device platforms, between distribution channels and between real and virtual worlds, and it is very difficult to predict where to go next.
