The Future of Brand Experience
In today’s marketing landscape, the boundaries between digital and physical experiences are becoming increasingly blurred.
Consumers now expect seamless, unified interactions with brands across all touchpoints.
This shift has given rise to a new-generation marketing strategy — Phygital Marketing.
What Is Phygital Marketing?
The term phygital combines the words physical and digital, representing a marketing approach that blends online and offline experiences.
The core idea is to integrate digital technologies into physical environments, offering consumers richer, more interactive, and highly personalized brand experiences.
With this approach, a customer journey that begins on a brand’s website might continue in a physical store — or vice versa.
Phygital marketing bridges digital accessibility with sensory experiences such as touch and trial that physical retail offers, creating a unified customer experience across all channels.
The Benefits of Phygital Marketing
Phygital marketing doesn’t just deliver a new kind of brand experience — it also drives tangible business results.
Technologies like virtual try-on and augmented reality (AR) reduce purchase uncertainty, increase conversions, and boost sales.
For example:
- Customers who can preview products virtually are more confident in their purchase decisions.
- This reduces product return rates while enhancing satisfaction and brand loyalty.
These interactive experiences make shopping more enjoyable and strengthen emotional connections with brands.
Examples of Phygital Marketing in Action
Leading brands around the world are already using phygital strategies to create deeper engagement with their customers.
Here are some standout examples:
- Nike:
At its “data-driven” Los Angeles store, Nike analyzes online customer data to stock the most popular items, creating a personalized in-store experience. - Sephora:
Through its mobile app’s AR mirrors, customers can virtually try on makeup products — increasing sales by 31% and boosting conversion rates by 90%. - IKEA:
The IKEA Place app lets customers visualize furniture in their own homes using AR, perfectly merging digital design with real-world context. - Marks & Spencer:
Enables virtual clothing try-ons via interactive screens and mobile apps, saving customers time and reducing fitting room congestion. - Happy Moon:
The restaurant uses QR codes to display 3D visuals of its dishes, creating an interactive dining experience. - Warby Parker:
Originally an online eyewear brand, Warby Parker opened physical showrooms to meet customer demand for in-person interaction.
Users can virtually try frames via the app, then visit a store for fitting — combining convenience with a human touch.
Phygital Marketing: Not Just a Trend, But the Future
