AR…the benefits of bricks and mortar with the convenience of ecommerce?
The Sheet Society Augmented Reality Bed Builder
Online shopping is here to stay - but brands often struggle to match the in-person experience. We’re all used to wandering around a store, soaking up the ambience, getting to touch, try things on - clicking in our pyjamas at 2am doesn’t have the same appeal.
More and more people are choosing to do the majority of their shopping online - the convenience simply can’t be beat. It creates challenges for brands that until now have been difficult to solve - how can we recreate the elevated experience in-person shopping offers while still offering all the convenience of online?
This is where Augmented Reality comes in.
AR apps allow a customer to “try on” products, to picture themselves in a space, to see what that new couch will look like in their living room - it’s even better than a showroom or changing room, because it’s dynamic, effortless and engaging - all from the comfort of a couch.
In short - if you sell something that can be worn, or a material object that can be placed in someone’s home or office - you need Augmented Reality in the mix.
In the past AR apps have been expensive and difficult to create.
In the past AR apps have been expensive and difficult to create, and the results aren’t always optimal - but with new innovation those issues are very much in the past. AR can now deliver an “in store” experience to anyone, anywhere - and if you’re not the one offering it, your competitors certainly will - no retailer can afford to ignore this opportunity.
What was a “nice to have” is now often expected by shoppers - especially those in younger, more tech-savvy demographics.
They say good things come in small boxes - and we’re determined to prove that it’s not just the “big boys” that can gain benefits from introducing an AR offering into the mix.
An AR project can be surprisingly affordable to implement, if you know how (and we do!) - the technology is getting more accessible all the time.
The brave new world of Augmented Reality is full of possibilities - but it can be full of confusion, too. We’ll cut through the technobabble and work with you to put together a pitch perfect proposal. We have the same goals you do - to do something innovative and unique, to increase your bottom line and elevate your brand, all with one elegant augmented reality project. Let’s get started!
