The journey of a ball to a goal may be compared to the journey of a consumer to a purchase. Retailers lost sight of the ball when e-commerce kicked the ball out of a defined playing field and into other channels.
They’re now winning the ball back through three intertwined approaches to handling consumer touchpoints:
 |
Keeping your eyes on the ball (connecting the multiple touchpoints) |
|
 |
Controlling the ball (making each touchpoint count) |
|
 |
Taking your eyes off the ball (evaluating the role of each touchpoint) |
