Abstract

Customers’ purchase processes have become dynamic and digital. On the retailers’ side, there are endless opportunities and means to combine different channels and contact points to provide a seamless customer experience. The authors focused on omnichannel shopper behaviour across channels in the product category of sporting goods. This research assesses the prevalence of two behaviours: webrooming and showrooming. Results of a CAWI survey with 1000 respondents show that webrooming is the most preferred customer journey type, which means that respondents like looking for information on the Internet, but prefer to use the physical stores for purchasing goods. Furthermore, five major shopper segments could be identified, where omni-shoppers are present and prefer both webrooming and showrooming. These customers are at the core of future retail and their preferences and characteristics are important not only for academic, but also for practical reasons.
