In today’s digital age, social media reigns supreme. It serves as a vibrant hub for brand awareness, community building, and driving engagement. But what if you could harness that energy and translate it directly into your retail space?

The key to unlocking higher levels of customer engagement in retail lies in the strategic use of in-store audio-visual technology. By leveraging these tools, you can capitalize on your physical retail spaces to extend the engagement generated by your online brand presence. This approach allows you to captivate customers and amplify your brand message. In particular, in-store audiovisual technology can rapidly connect customers with your brand and even create an immersive or interactive shopping experience.

Consider Arc’teryx, which MediaZest has helped to successfully implement this strategy in its flagship stores. By showcasing eye-catching content and campaigns – similar to those the brand uses online – Arc’teryx helps its audience visualise outdoor sporting gear in action. The power that lies in seamlessly integrating your online content into your retail environment not only ensures a consistent brand experience, but also fosters a deeper connection with customers who step into your physical stores.

Here’s how we can help you seamlessly integrate your brand and content into retail stores with three key methods:

1.      Amplify Your Branding with Window Displays

Shopfront displays can serve as the perfect canvas for showcasing your vibrant media content. These screens can display captivating videos or images, or encompass interactive elements that can draw in passersby and create an immediate first impression, connecting shoppers to your brand. Imagine a captivating product launch video dynamically displayed, grabbing the attention of potential customers even before they step inside.

Utilising window displays can:

Increase Brand Visibility:Display eye-catching content that highlights your brand’s personality and current promotions.

Enhance Customer Engagement:Encourage social media interactions by displaying QR codes or hashtags

Drive Traffic:Captivate passersby and convert them into in-store visitors through compelling visual displays.

2.     Inform and Engage with In-Store Screens

Once customers are inside, the screens in-store play a pivotal role in extending their shopping experience. These screens can be strategically placed throughout the store to provide visuals to customers, relevant product details, special offers, and showcase relevant content. By integrating your existing digital marketing assets, you can maintain a cohesive brand narrative across both online and in-store platforms.

The benefits of in-store screens include:

Customer Immersion:Transport your customers by immersing them in scenery, connecting your products to be part of that experience

Enhanced Customer Experience:Provide real-time information on products, services, and promotions.

Consistency in Branding:Ensure a unified brand message by displaying content that aligns with your online social presence.

3.     Elevate the Atmosphere with Customised Audio Systems

In-store audio is often overlooked, yet is a powerful tool in creating an immersive retail environment. By curating playlists that align with your brand’s identity and incorporating audio elements from your online content, you can create a multi-sensory experience that resonates with your customers.

Key advantages of customized audio systems include:

Brand Cohesion:Reinforce your brand identity through carefully selected audio tracks that reflect your brand’s voice.

Enhanced Customer Experience:Create an inviting and comfortable shopping environment that encourages longer visits.

Engagement Through Audio:Integrate audio from social media campaigns, such as promotional jingles or influencer collaborations, to create a cohesive marketing experience.

Case Study: Arc’teryx Flagship Stores in London and Berlin

A recent standout project we completed involved the installation of cutting-edge LED screens and Samsung video walls at the new Arc’teryx flagship stores in London and Berlin. The premium outdoor apparel brand sought to create a shopping experience that reflected their innovative spirit and commitment to quality. The project included installing high-resolution integrated LED screens in these stores to showcase the breathtaking visuals they create of outdoor adventures with their products in use.

Our team’s work helped the brand to extend its marketing and brand consistency to its retail channels, allowing the brand to engage with customers familiar with their social media content and expand their audience within the retail environment.
