In today’s business landscape, staying ahead of your competitors can often mean keeping up with the latest technology to help drive sales. We have been helping clients stay ahead of the curve for over 25 years, and understand that raising your business’ profile can often seem like an uphill battle. A popular technology that has permeated business in recent years is Augmented Reality. Augmented reality overlays virtual content in the real-world environment, offering unique opportunities for businesses across a variety of industries.
How is augmented reality revolutionising your business and keeping your products at the forefront of your customer’s minds? Here are 5 ways in which Augmented Reality solutions can transform your business.
1. Visualising complex products
A significant challenge that certain industries can face in their marketing and advertising is effectively showcasing their complex products to customers. Whether it’s intricate machinery, advanced technology, or industrial equipment that can be impractical to showcase, augmented reality (AR technology) provides a powerful solution for visualising and understanding these complex products. By superimposing the products onto the real-world environment, customers can explore every detail, angle and functionality of a product.
As well as showcasing complex products to customers, using AR technology internally with your team can help staff to understand the products on a different level, giving them more confidence in communicating the unique selling points of the product to your customers.
Visualising complex products can be a hurdle for many businesses, but AR can revolutionise the way these businesses communicate the value proposition of their products.
2. Immersive Shopping Experiences with Augmented Reality
The use of Augmented Reality in retail and fashion industries offers a way for customers to try before they buy. Introducing an AR app that allows customers to view your products in the comfort of their own homes allows for a more immersive shopping experience and gets customers engaged much earlier in the purchase journey. Whether it’s trying a watch on their wrist, or seeing how an armchair might look in their space, AR can help to bridge the gap between online and offline shopping and increase conversion rates for your business.
3. Revolutionary AR Advertising
The use of AR technology has helped to redefine traditional marketing campaigns. For example, through mobile apps or AR-enabled devices, customers can scan adverts or product packaging and unlock a virtual experience.
Whether it’s through interactive advertising boards or print marketing, Augmented Reality can really help bring your products to life, helping to differentiate themselves in a crowded market and offer a higher ROI.
4. Training and Education
Extending beyond customer-facing applications, AR has proven to be an invaluable tool for training and education purposes. Particularly in industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and engineering, providing a hands-on, interactive experience to trainees can really elevate the learning experience and allow them to practise complex tasks in a safe and controlled environment. Not only this but introducing AR into your training can help to reduce the need for costly prototypes or simulations.
5. Immersive Events and Exhibitions
Managing your brand’s presence at events and exhibitions can be an incredibly time-consuming and expensive undertaking for your business. One of the biggest challenges is ensuring that your business stands out and offers a memorable experience to your customers; to such an extent that you achieve proven event success.
Showcasing your business’ products through Augmented Reality is a hassle-free way to bring your brand directly to your audience, and help to extend the conversation beyond brochures. It can also be a way to cut costs in the long run, removing the need for large exhibition spaces for your products.
