Abstract
This chapter explores the challenges of an integrated Omni-channel retailing strategy in the ‘bricks and clicks’ retail cosmetics industry of Cyprus, and the impact of this strategy on the attitudinal perspective of customers’ loyalty. Through a qualitative exploratory approach, and specifically a single embedded case study, it was found that when a ‘brick and click’ retailer correctly establishes the Omni-channel retailing strategy, customers’ loyalty is positively influenced. Combining theory with empirical findings, this chapter additionally develops an Omni-channel retailing framework that demonstrates the challenges and current capabilities of the Omni-channel retailing strategy, which are working in a synchronized and integrated manner, resulting in the unification of the internal operating systems/departments, integrating all retailing channels, and communicating a consistent brand image.
