Consumer tech companies, like Samsung, operate in an environment with high average order values (AOVs) but long gaps between conversions. This means it is essential to maximize individual sales and build brand loyalty that lasts long after a purchase is complete. Companies can best do this by building direct connections with their customers across a variety of sales channels.
