When outdoor retailer Orvis set out to launch a new line of adventure products for dog lovers, they faced a challenge familiar to every retailer. On one hand, they knew an email campaign that simply advertised the new canine products might generate a limited number of conversions. On the other hand, an upfront promotional discount would likely result in lost revenue, since many customers might’ve been happy to pay full price for the very same items.

When you think of it the buying journey of 2020 is not the same as 2010, and definitely not the same as pre 2000. The 2020 buyer journey is an online journey.
