How to Create Interactive Experiences with your Brand

Experiential Marketing Ideas

Brands are continually looking for ways to increase customer engagement and so increase sales of their product or service. Engagement is now being understood as the key to brand loyalty, repeat custom and brand trust.

This is true for established brands with lots of bricks and mortar stores, online only companies and also independent company owners who all understand they need to engage with their customers in a face to face way to create the buzz their brand needs to succeed.

Bring Customers In

If you already have a bricks and mortar space on a high street or in a shopping centre with high traffic, then you can use your store to engage further with experiences and activities that your customers are interested in. Here are a few ideas:

· Create Evening Events – for example Fashion Shows, Gallery Openings, tasting events etc. these can bring in new people that had not heard of your brand before.

· Engage with calendar & local events – From Christmas and Valentines to local county shows and local market, engaging and celebrating these events will bring more customers in to you.

· Create a Hub – this can be a specialised hub, for example if you are a bookstore, creating a book club or poetry evening. Or a more general hub, making a space in your store for the community to use as they wish.

Go & Engage with Customers

If you are a brand that needs customer interaction, but you have no fixed place of business, if you only have one shop, store or restaurant and want to reach a much bigger audience, or you are a brand with hundreds of locations, but you are looking to expand your marketing reach, then going out there to the customer is the way forward for you.
