V12 Marketing - VR & AR

Innovative tools and methods are reshaping the marketing environment as technology continues to advance at an accelerated rate.

For companies looking to fascinate, entertain and engage their target audiences, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have emerged as game-changers. In this blog article, we’ll dive into the intriguing realm of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), investigating their potential uses and how they are advancing the marketing world.

Enhancing Product Visualization 🖼️

Using AR and VR to improve product visualization will be one of the most significant methods to change marketing. Imagine letting prospective buyers test your goods in a wholly virtual setting. Customers may be able to overlay virtual product representations onto their actual environment using augmented reality (AR), creating a more dynamic and immersive experience. For example, a retailer of furniture might develop AR software that enables clients to virtually place furniture in their homes to see how it fits and enhances the décor already there.

These tools will allow consumers to have a better understanding of their needs based on better visualization prior to stepping foot inside a store.

Virtual & Augmented Reality Spaces 🏢

Numerous benefits come with a virtual reality (VR) workplace for distant workers. It encourages a feeling of presence and connection, fostering remote workers’ collaboration and teamwork.

Being a digital marketing agency based out of Concord, NH but with many employees nationwide it was important for us to create a cohesive and united work-from-home experience. That’s why we created the V12 Virtual Office Space where we can collaborate on projects, host meetings, and play interactive games during break time.

We believe firmly that the future of marketing and work in general will most likely be a hybrid approach between personal computers, virtual & augmented reality, and traditional office environments.

Location-Based Augmented Reality 📍

With the convergence of AR and VR, location-based marketing is poised to soar to new heights. Imagine using an AR-powered app to receive deals, discounts, or details about neighboring shops as you walk down the street. Businesses may send targeted and contextually relevant marketing messages directly to consumers, boosting foot traffic and building deeper customer connections, by utilizing location data and AR overlays.

Imagine an Augmented Reality experience that is truly catered to the products you want to see in real time. Imagine being able to live in a world where you’re only getting advertisements that are specifically relevant to you.

Engaging Brand Experiences 👨‍💻

Experiential marketing will reach entirely new heights thanks to AR and VR. Businesses can develop virtual worlds where their products or services can be interacted with by customers. An automobile manufacturer might create a VR application that enables people to view the interior and outside of their newest models even before they are available for purchase. By fostering emotional connections with customers, these experiences not only create buzz and excitement but also strengthen customer loyalty to the company.

Gamification and interactive advertising are well-suited to AR and VR, which offer many possibilities for these two types of marketing. Brands may develop fascinating and enjoyable experiences that connect with their target audience by incorporating these technologies into marketing efforts. For instance, a fast-food establishment may create an AR game where players search for virtual ingredients and are rewarded or given discounts after they find them all. This strategy boosts brand exposure, promotes social sharing, and increases engagement.

The world of marketing is about to change as a result of AR and VR. Are you prepared to use the force of these revolutionary technologies to advance your company? Only your imagination can place a cap on the possibilities.
