Experiential Marketing Provides Heightened Value
Experiential marketing, also known as engagement marketing, allows consumers to experience a brand through marketing strategies like connected packaging, gaming, and customer loyalty programs. Touchcode is a key tool for experiential marketing because it allows brands to connect digital content to physical products, like collectible cards, game cards, and packaging inserts. When customers connect emotionally with a brand and remember it vividly, they become more loyal to the brand.
Using Touchcode as a way to offer customers exclusive digital experiences provides brand value in three ways:
- Showcases brand innovation and creativity
- Engages customers in new ways that encourage them to return for more
- Helps drive conversions
