How AR boosts consumer engagement
3rd March 2023
Turn any product into an enchanting interactive experience
It’s time to take your consumer engagement to the next level by hopping on the AR (augmented reality) bandwagon.
Fancy trying on new clothes but don’t have enough time to go to the shops? No problem. Want a new piece of furniture, but want to see what it looks like before investing? No worries, AR has got you covered.
AR and consumer engagement go hand-in-hand and will hook your customers by turning any product into an enchanting interactive experience. A happy, engaged consumer will be more inclined to stick with your good or service, increasing your retention rate too.
So, how does AR increase sales and consumer engagement?
1. Eliminates the unknown
Customers are put off from purchasing if they’re unsure. It’s understandable when more often than not, return processes are tiresome and annoying. People enjoy a quick and easy process, with the option to simply try out products before buying; AR does just that while enhancing customer satisfaction.
2. Captivating
When a consumer can interact with an object more organically, customer experience becomes boosted since there is an added sense of presence and the option to engage with digital content more intuitively.
3. Gamification
If you wanted to, you could bring a dinosaur into your store. AR doesn’t have to be just convenient – you can make it entertaining too. When you encourage customers to explore and interact with your store or product in a fun manner, there’s the added benefit of customer experience, which can increase sales and retention.

In case you’re not familiar, QR codes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned by smartphones to reveal a wealth of information – from website URLs to product details and even contact information.
QR codes and AR are iconic duos in the marketing world and for good reasons! By combining these powerful tools, businesses can unlock new opportunities to engage with customers and provide innovative experiences that drive growth and loyalty.
