Multi-Channel Marketing Drives $1.4 Billion in Revenue for American Brands in 2024

A new study from Omnisend has uncovered significant insights into the effectiveness of multi-channel marketing strategies for American ecommerce brands in 2024, revealing that companies leveraging integrated communication channels generated $1.4 billion in revenue.

The research, which analyzed over 11 billion marketing messages, highlights a transformative shift in digital marketing approaches. By combining email, SMS, and push notifications, brands achieved an average order value of $165 across 8.5 million sales, underscoring the potential of sophisticated, data-driven marketing techniques.

One of the most striking findings is the dramatic rise in mobile messaging effectiveness. Brands increased push notifications by 2.5 times and SMS messages by 43% compared to the previous year, resulting in a 68% overall adoption growth. This surge demonstrates the growing importance of direct, personalized communication channels.

Automated messaging emerged as a particularly powerful strategy. While automated messages represented only 1.5% of total email volume, they drove 29% of all sales. These behavior-triggered communications, such as back-in-stock alerts and abandoned cart reminders, showed an impressive one-in-three conversion rate, compared to just one-in-17 for scheduled messages.

Industry performance varied, with Health and Games sectors leading in email click-to-conversion rates at 13.44% and 12.43%, respectively. This suggests that targeted, industry-specific approaches can yield significant marketing advantages.

The study recommends that brands adopt a comprehensive marketing strategy focused on behavior-triggered messaging, multi-channel communication, and continuous performance analysis. By leveraging first-party data and creating personalized, automated campaigns, companies can create more engaging customer experiences and drive substantial revenue growth.
