To set your business apart, consider this: a staggering 49% of customers possess a more vivid mental image of a product when they can interact with it. This translates into tangible gains, with businesses reporting a notable 45% increase in sales upon integrating interactive 3D/AR solutions into their platforms.

Benefits of AR for Online Sales:

  • Building confidence in the product:
    AR makes customers aware of every detail of the product, giving them additional trust in an item: they know exactly what to expect from the product.

  • Convenience increases:
    Neither restricted opening hours nor remote store location can influence customer traction anymore.

  • Real-life simulation:
    “Try-before-you-buy” is no longer an experience reserved for physical shops. The AR simulation places the product directly in the living room of your clients.

  • Inspires imagination:
    Placing the product virtually in the living room helps shoppers envision the real product: they instantly think of the time after they already made the purchase and are more like to grow attached to the item.

But not only customer’s experiences are improved by AR technology. Retailers, as well as manufacturers, can profit in many ways as well:

Benefits for Retailers & Manufacturers:

  • Higher customer engagement - maximize sales:
    Shoppers are 20% more likely to buy a product with the use of a 3D configurator. 150% longer session duration with 3D products

  • More sales, higher shopping cart values:
    Up to 40% higher conversions in online stores with 3D/AR products and configurators

  • Reduce returns and incorrect orders:
    Every 6th order is returned. Reduce your costs significantly. 45% faster buying decisions through the use of 3D/AR

  • Saves costs: especially for retailers, shop rent, and costs of displaying a product physically can be minimized.
