E-commerce: how can augmented reality help retailers?


Augmented reality is being used by several e-commerce firms because it benefits not only consumers but also retailers. This post will explore how merchants can use this technology to their advantage.

Companies face two difficulties regarding customers.  First of all, they struggle to find customers for their business and then, they have to retain the ones they already have. Augmented Reality can help with these issues. Those concerns might become things of the past if AR is incorporated in e-commerce platforms. Allowing clients to ‘have a look’ at your products and services using this technology will help eliminate hesitations to complete a deal. Moreover, this also adds a layer of social proof. Augmented interface is more likely to be shared on social media sites because it catches attention very easily. This will drive more potential buyers on your online shopping platform and will increase their customer lifetime value since you are getting more referrals.

Users that can interact with a product using augmented and virtual reality while shopping online is more likely to become interested in your offerings and to complete the deal as well. This implies that retailers do not have to face the issue of abandoned shopping carts that often anymore.
