💭 Phygital Shopping Experiences | XS' Issue #12
Hey there 👋, from the 12th issue of Experience Stack Newsletter.
It's been 3 months since we've started this newsletter, and I still have the same excitement every Wednesday night when writing the new issue ⚡
After publishing this newsletter consecutively for 12 weeks, I'm asking a small favor from you 😊 If you think your friends or colleagues might enjoy reading this newsletter, feel free to forward it to them 🤗
Let's jump to this week's topic: Phygital Shopping Experiences 🛍️
Then as always, you'll have the curation of blog posts, videos, podcasts, and other types of content from last week 🚀
How Phygital Shopping Exeriences Can Change The Way You Connect With Customers
Phygital Shopping Experience refers to the combination of physical and digital elements in shopping. Whether it's big retailers adding digital technology to their physical stores or digital-first brands moving into brick-and-mortar, ‘phygital’ is what we call it.
This omnichannel sales approach assists businesses in creating a fully integrated physical and digital presence.
Having a physical store lets you provide experiences you can’t accomplish online, and having an online store gives customers the flexibility to choose how they shop, pay, and fulfill their orders.
Here are some of the benefits of phygital shopping:
tailored shopping experiences and recommendations
better customer experiences
higher brand awareness
increase in sales
Whether your business originated online or offline, combining your physical and digital stores is a proven sales and marketing strategy.
Here are a few examples of retailers trying and succeeding with phygital shopping experiences:
