## What it is and how it works

It does not necessarily mean non-digital: a screen or application can work without a connection. An experience can combine online and offline moments, such as preparing a transaction on a mobile phone and completing it in a shop. It is better to explain the specific situation when the label might confuse the channel with the technology used.

Also known as

off-line, disconnected
