retail & experiential marketing
making music with experiential marketing
challenge:
Create an engaging and immersive music experience as part of a sales strategy designed to increase accessory attach rates while increasing overall sales.
insights:
Through consumer research, it was learned that consumers wanted devices they could carry with them with the capability of doing virtually anything and everything they desired, including: sending and receiving photographs, interacting with and enjoying all forms of entertainment and most importantly streaming and downloading music.
approach:
Create a consumer experience which is engaging, informational and fun. The in-store experiential presentation included live devices with the capability of downloading and playing back music. As a cornerstone to the strategy, it was imperative to enable the consumer to enjoy the experience at the point of purchase thereby enabling them to both enjoy and consult with in-store personnel.
results:
