2. I don't need to be online for my physical store to be successful.
The Tony Pappas boutique has become a Montreal institution. The shoe and cobbler business opened on Mont Royal Avenue in the early 1900s. While the store's success continues, customer habits are changing.
Martin Deshaies, the store's owner, has noticed that more and more " hybrid " customers are visiting Tony Pappas. These are customers who first visited their Facebook page or online store to inquire about opening hours, the address or the availability of an item. These customers, Mr. Deshaies believes, would have been lost if it weren't for his online presence.
Today, 81% of consumers refer to a company's website before making a purchase. Contrary to what some people say, physical stores like those of Mr. Deshaies or Simon Tooley, co-founder of the beauty boutique Etiket, are far from closing their doors. That said, the two businessmen agree on one point: their businesses owe their success, in large part, to omnichannel .
