Online TV is a tad different because it puts YOU, the user in control and the choice of channels is not limited to the channels being beamed in the home country. One can easily watch Live TV channels being telecasted in the neighboring countries via the World Wide Web. Some of them may even be in your favorite watch list!
By offering direct broadcasts from your home country, online TV will ensure that you never miss the flavor of home. The best part about these portals is that they offer users, a trial period, wherein they can try out the service and judge whether it is worth investing or not. During the trial period, you can explore the sheer variety of choices that are on display - be it sports, entertainment or lifestyle.
Moreover, in our experience, viewers who choose to watch live TV and select their favorite channels from an impressive bouquet of A-list channels incur significant cost savings, in the long run. They neither have to invest in any hardware, nor do they have to buy expensive cable subscription fees. Only a modest subscription fee is to be paid to these channels.
On these entertainment portals, viewers can select from a mind boggling variety of more than 2500 channels. Unlike satellite TV, where your favorite programs might be repeated at all odd hours, and it gets incredibly difficult to watch the programs once missed; online TV offers on-demand access to all the programs telecast during the day, at the click of a mouse.
If you feel convinced and want to watch your favorite live TV channels on your PC, then the good news is that you do not need any TV tuner card to watch these. All they need is a Windows Media Player/Real Media Player and Winamp software to watch live TV channels on their desktops.

Multi-Channel Retail - One Critical Key to Success
The maturation of multi-channel commerce
More and more retailers are realizing the benefits of multi-channel retailing. Leveraging brand equity in multiple touchpoints has been proven to drive loyalty and interaction among consumers. With trends clearly showing the Internet as the core component to pre-purchase research, brick and mortar brands can ill-afford to take a wait and see approach as it relates to core multi-channel offerings.
Three core enhancements must be executed flawlessly to have true multi-channel integration:
o In-store associate kiosks
Leveraging the eCommerce store within an in-store environment solves fundamental out of stock situations, provides a new channel for up/cross selling, and maximizes profitability per square foot.
o In-store pickup
Incorporating buy online and pickup in-store functionality eliminates the barrier of shipping in the online sales equation. With shipping costs being the number one driver to why shoppers choose to not purchase online - this initiative help reduce key customer based purchase inhibitors while drive incremental sales in-store traffic. The solution also provides added convenience and satisfaction to the consumer, as they no longer have to wait to receive their merchandise.
o In-store returns
Returning products that were bought online, in-store, can bring many back-end technology bottlenecks to the radar screen. Forward thinking retailers must accurately map their order processing and inventory data to empower service associates with the data they need to reconcile and close the transaction efficiently at the POS.
Slow processing and a poor return experience will virtually erode a consumer relationship that was costly to start and maintain.
Getting your organization on board with change
Convincing company executives that these initiatives deliver ROI may be challenging, but that challenge pales in comparison to what is faced in your store network. The perspective change within the rank and file employees in your organization will prove to be your most daunting task as it relates to these initiatives.
Within all three of the solutions above, the web transaction integrates with the physical store. The store is the final piece of the puzzle in all three scenarios, making it the most crucial element to deliver a proper transaction. If your employees do not execute properly on this level, the result will be an un-utilized solution, or even worse, a customer perspective that your employees are incompetent.
The key is getting your employees aligned with multi-channel change. This happens by driving two key operational strategies in conjunction with a multi-channel technology solution.
o Training
Store managers must take the lead in understanding multi-channel solutions, while leading efforts to replicate this knowledge among customer-facing employees.
Prior to solution launch, be sure to communicate the internal and external value among the manager base, create a solution handbook for employee questions, and bring managers in to the home office for a ½ day workshop to become experts right before the solution goes live.
o Incentives
Employees must feel that the web-generated order still has some benefit to them. To drive accountability, some type of carrot must be given to ensure that employees have reason to treat the web-driven transaction seriously.
Because in-store employees receive bonuses for comp sales, create some type of awards program for efficiency as it relates to in-store multi-channel solutions. Or provide a piece of all web sales, distributed on a regional basis.
Understand the dynamics of your employees - how they work and what motivates them. By closing the gaps in training and incentives, multi-channel success becomes much closer to being reality.

eCommerce and Multi-Channel Marketing
As eCommerce purchasing trends have matured over the last four years, it has become abundantly clear that consumers leverage multiple channels when making a purchase decision. To meet continuously rising consumer expectations, retailers of all shapes and sizes need to understand and embrace the power of delivering a consistent and integrated multi-channel experience. Any retailer that utilizes more than one channel to sell merchandise - be it a catalog, brick and mortar store, or eCommerce store, can gain tremendous business benefits by effectively executing multi-channel initiatives.
In a nutshell, the term "multi-channel" is primarily used within two concepts in retail:
o Multi-Channel Marketing
o Multi-Channel Integration
This article is meant to be an introduction to the overall topic, with a focus this month on multi-channel marketing. Next month, I will follow with content related to multi-channel integration and how it can also be leveraged.
Multi-Channel Marketing
Multi-channel marketing is the tactic of reinforcing your brand messaging by utilizing multiple sales channels to communicate with customers. It's been proven in numerous studies that when retailers facilitate the behavior of consumers to shop via multiple channels, they become more valuable from the standpoint of lifetime value. Look what JC Penney discovered when they starting testing and measuring multi-channel behavior a few years back.
o The company found that internet only shoppers spent $121 per year, retail only spent $194 per year, catalog only spent $242 per year, and a customer who shopped all three spent over $1000 per year (source: ebusinessiq.com)
o "We want to go out and aggressively introduce J.C. Penney.com to our catalog and retail customers and get them to shop online because we know it is going to increase their purchases across all channels" (JC Penney eCommerce Executive)
Why do these incremental gains happen? It's not always an easy question to answer, but in my opinion, it is primarily because the consumer now has the capability to purchase in the channel which best suits their needs (ie. most convenient), while still receiving messaging from the other complimentary channels. A real life look makes it more simplistic.
Let's take for example that you are a high-end electronics retailer. You operate 12 physical stores, send out a catalog four times a year, and operate an eCommerce store. The key to multi-channel success is to leverage the strengths of each sales channel by coordinating messages and driving customers to all three sales outlets. Each of the channels is different - and your multi-channel strategy should capitalize on the strengths of each channel to best represent your brand.
The catalog serves as a great tool for browsing but is not the most effective when it comes to comparing products. Its tangible nature makes it readily available for shopping (judged by the number of catalogs my wife has on our dining room table), but its space constraints within the pages make it limited from a product information standpoint.
Retailers should leverage the catalog to create initial interest, but encourage shoppers to go to the web to learn more and ultimately purchase. One standard tactic to achieve this is by heavily promoting the URL within every page and by providing unique "catalog quick shop" numbers for each product. A retailer can also message the customer about "web only" specials, or closeout products that are not available in the catalog, but are only available from the website.
When a consumer then comes to the website and types the provided product number in the "catalog quick search" box, a retailer then has the option to either send the visitor directly to the product page, or send directly to the shopping cart with the product pre-populated in the cart. Both options have their pros and cons - with the latter option being a more direct and aggressive approach to convert a visitor by reducing the number of clicks to purchase.
The potential negative consequence about sending traffic directly to the shopping cart from the catalog quick search is that consumers may still be in "shopping" mode and may be turned off to such a direct approach of merchandising. Monitor your analytics to see which path is more effective from a conversion perspective.
A plethora of other tactics can be leveraged by retail businesses in an effort to promote cross channel purchasing behavior. Retailers can have catalog sign up forms within their online store to allow site visitors to receive their catalog via standard mail. Email marketing campaigns can message in-store promotions that are in the vicinity of the user's physical address and include coupons or discounts that can be printed and brought to the store for redemption. In-store associates that utilize a web-based POS should ask each and every person who purchases for their email address so that they can receive "member benefits" sent via email. Online versions of the catalogs and circulars should be live on the eCommerce store and can be tailored to a visitor location. All of these tactics increase the level of customer interaction with the brand and are extremely valuable in driving repeat purchase behavior.
