I was in the Westfield shopping centre yesterday there was so many great examples of visual Retailing. One store I was impressed with was Aesop WHY🧐 Having worked with Retail brands like Rituals in the past I know the power of creating an experiential experience for customers and how that increases the Kpis in the business. This store had its first touchpoint of this outside the store whereby you could try the product before entering the store as it was part of the window display. I loved seeing this as I know from working with retail brands that it increases conversion rates and footfall. Did you know that up to 50% of customers that try your product will buy???? How easy is it for your customers to buy and how interactive do you make it for them? #retailing #experiences #retaildisplay

Swipe your card, pick up what you need, and walk out. Easy and fast, isn't it? Wembley Stadium is leading the way with this slick approach at Bar Tap, marking its place as the first European national stadium to embrace frictionless shopping. All you need is your payment card or a mobile wallet. Just grab whatever catches your eye and go. Change your mind about something? Put it back without worry; you won't be charged for it. The whole process typically takes shoppers no more than 30 seconds at Wembley. This tech is a game-changer for events, from sports matches to concerts, ensuring you spend more time enjoying the action and less time queuing. It's a convenience we've already seen making waves at several Amazon Fresh stores too. Say goodbye to the days of waiting in line and missing out on those unforgettable moments during live events.

The line between entertainment and retail is blurring, giving way to a phenomenon dubbed “shoppertainment.” Experiential retailers, accounting for approximately 15% of all leasing activity over the past two years, are reshaping how consumers interact with brands.

Tesla is launching experiential pop-up stores in malls across the US for the holiday season. "Tesla’s use of pop-up stores is a strategic initiative aimed at increasing brand visibility and providing potential customers with hands-on experiences of their vehicles. These temporary installations are typically set up in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls and popular public spaces, allowing Tesla to reach a broader audience without the long-term commitments associated with permanent retail locations." #Tesla #experientialmarketing https://lnkd.in/gyEzZ7XX
