Top 7 innovators embracing experiential retail
From immersive technology and mixed reality, to experience rooms and livestreaming, discover the innovative ways retailers are using a combination of experiential campaigns and technology to attract consumer attention.
With online shopping overtaking physical stores in terms of accessibility, convenience and speed, it provides a new opportunity for traditional retailers to change the way they approach their business models and entice consumers. Adding an extra experience that customers could not get elsewhere is an excellent way to achieve customer loyalty and deepen awareness of brand identity. Additionally, a clear strategy with the shopper experience at the core of decision-making is essential in creating a successful experiential shopping experience.
