Retail companies large and small are experiencing a landmark shift in the digital buying experience. As more and more customers shift to a fully digital shopping experience and XR technology becomes widely available, folks are expecting more from e-commerce sites than ever. Retailers like IKEA and Ulta have developed AR technologies to create an immersive “try before you buy” element to their customer experience.
Integrating AR into the customer journey has been linked to lower return rates and higher conversion rates for several retailers. A 2020 analysis by Shopify found that retailers using its AR trial platform saw up to a 250% increase in conversions on their product pages!
