Abstract : Omni-channel retailing has revolutionized the way businesses engage with customers, blending physical and digital channels to create seamless shopping experiences. This study explores the pivotal role of demographics in shaping omni-channel retailing strategies, focusing on how customer behavior and preferences vary across different demographic groups. By examining age, gender, income, education, and geographic location, the research highlights the influence of these factors on channel selection, purchasing behavior, and loyalty to omni-channel platforms. Leveraging data-driven insights and behavioral analysis, this study underscores the necessity for retailers to customize their strategies to cater to the unique needs of diverse customer segments. Furthermore, it investigates the interplay between technological adoption and demographic attributes, revealing key trends and preferences that drive engagement. The findings provide actionable recommendations for businesses to optimize their omni-channel strategies, enhance customer satisfaction, and achieve competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving retail landscape. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on personalized retail experiences and underscores the critical role of demographic-driven approaches in shaping the future of omni-channel retailing.

Keywords : Demographics, Omni-Channel Retailing Strategies, Customer Behavior, Customer Preferences.
