Creating Unforgettable Moments with Experiential Marketing

Each and every day, there is more and more competition for consumer attention, and less of it to go around. That’s why, in the world of marketing, experiential marketing is largely considered to be the future of customer engagement. Studies show that consumers are more likely to respond to and support companies that deliver unforgettable, exceptional experiences, because they are more impacted than with traditional marketing. In fact, 93 percent of consumers claim that live events or experiences have a larger influence on them than television ads. Not only are consumers more likely to remember your brand, they are also much more likely to share the experience with their friends: studies show that nearly all consumers (98 percent!) create digital or social content at live events and experiences.

 

Experiential Marketing 101

Experiential marketing, also referred to as engagement marketing, is a marketing strategy that uses unique, branded experiences to engage consumers and customers. The goal is to immerse consumers in live experiences that they will interact with, remember for a long time and associate with your brand. There are two key components involved: the experience itself and the branded vehicle or set up to host the experience. The experience could be anything from a place to play games, try samples, test out products, or learn about company history, but the key is to make it interactive. The set up could be anything from a branded food truck, tiny house, shipping container, or vehicle shaped like your product, but the key here is to make it attention-grabbing, fun and memorable.
