Visual and Experiential Marketing: Try These Trends for Your Business

When it comes to marketing, businesses have several resources, including several methods to help them engage with their customers and clients.

Developing an emotional connection with customers and clients helps get them to return for your products and services. Everything from making your customers comfortable when visiting your brick and mortar location to being able to handle the products is meaningful to the consumer experience.

Using state-of-the-art visual and experiential marketing trends can help move your customers from “I’m just looking” to “Let’s buy it now.”

Bring the Outside In

Biophilic design is the practice of connecting with a person’s instinctive desire to be associated with nature.

Bring the outside into your business by incorporating natural elements into your space. Ways to bring the outside in include increasing natural light, adding lush, wild plants and flowers, and using natural wood elements.

Social Media and Influencers

As the world has moved online for searching for businesses and products, it might be time to consider using social media and influencers who already have a significant following.

Social media influencers can offer your company a personalized marketing approach by demonstrating how to use your product and sharing a review. This method also creates a direct link to their followers and your customers, provides interactive activity to your social media platforms, and grabs the attention of new customers who may never have heard about your company without the help of an influencer.

VR Technology

Virtual reality technology is a business-changing tool, allowing your business to create sneak peeks for your customers.

For example, head-mounted VR displays enable businesses, such as landscaping companies, architects, and interior designers, to show clients what their space may look like. Many other companies can utilize this method by offering a view to their customers, unlike any of their competitors.

Experiential marketing involves offering a buying experience with a product or service before buying it. This method helps make consumers feel comfortable knowing they are buying a quality product. They can visualize themselves using the product or benefiting from the results of a service. Help make your customers feel more comfortable by testing new experiential marketing tactics that fit your business or service.

Flyers have been around for decades, but they’re anything but old news. In fact, when done well, they can be one of the most cost-effective and attention-grabbing tools in your marketing mix. The trick? Knowing what most people miss. Here are five flyer design strategies that often go overlooked—and how you can use them to your advantage. 1. Headlines Don’t Have to Explain—They Have to Stop People Your headline isn’t a label. It’s a hook. A lot of flyers start with something safe: “Annual Clearance Sale” or “Join Us for Our Spring Open House.” That’s fine—but it’s also forgettable. If you want someone to actually read your flyer, the headline has to stop them in their tracks. Some options to consider: Ask a question: “Tired of Overpaying for Car Repairs?” Use urgency: “This Weekend Only. No Extensions.” Go bold: “You Bring the Crowd. We’ll Bring the Fireworks.” You can always explain more in the subhead. But the headline’s job is to earn that second glance. 2. White Spa...
