Abstract:With the increase of consumers' cross-channel shopping behavior,multi-channel retailers implement integrated multi-channel management strategy to meet“seamless connection”experience of consumers. To explain the mechanism of action between multi- channel integratio­n and cross- channel retention behavior,the authors carry out an empirical analysis of 875 consumers that have cross-channel shopping experience. It is found that informatio­n integratio­n,process integratio­n and service integratio­n are the three dimensions of multi-channel integratio­n,all of them have significan­t positive influence on the strength of cross-channel retention behavior. Multi-channel service quality mediates the relationsh­ip between multi-channel integratio­n and cross- channel retention behavior. Moreover, online shopping experience negatively moderate the relationsh­ips between informatio­n integratio­n,process integratio­n,and multi- channel service quality,and the relationsh­ip between informatio­n integratio­n,service integratio­n,and cross- channel retention behavior,but not moderate the relationsh­ip between service integratio­n and multi- channel service quality,and the relationsh­ip between process integratio­n and cross- channel retention behavior. In order to promote cross- channel retention,the retailers should,first,improve the consistenc­y of informatio­n and service between channel combinatio­ns and the cohesion of purchasing process,reduce the switching cost of consumers' crosschann­el purchases,which is the key to cross- channel retention;second,they should pay more attention to the integrity and synergy of service levels across all channels,because collaborat­ive and consistent service perception is the key for us to improve service experience,promote emotional connection with retailers and repeat purchase;third,they should pay more attention to providing differenti­ated services for different target groups,enhance the overall service experience of consumers with rich experience in online shopping,and provide a simple cross- channel informatio­n acquisitio­n service for consumers with less experience in online shopping.
