Experiential marketing is a modern take on connecting with a target audience. By engaging with consumers in a memorable way, you’re creating brand awareness, generating interest in your product or service, and in the most compelling cases, creating lasting, loyal customers. If you’re still wondering what experiential marketing is, think live or participation-based marketing, such as hosting a pop-up shop and creating interactive experiences for your customers.

Are you looking for creative ways to stand out from your competitors? Try incorporating these into your next experiential marketing campaign.  

Host a giveaway, but make it competitive. Consumers love free products and services, so one of the best types of experiential marketing ends with the consumer walking away with something. Of course, you’ll want them to have to work for it, at least a little bit. From mini-games to social media shares and surveys, there are a multitude of ways you can get potential customers to engage with your brand. People will be more inclined to participate if you’re willing to give some products or services away. 

Target the right audience. If you’re a brand that caters to little ones, experiential marketing doesn’t have to feel like marketing at all! Consider setting up an engaging display where kids can interact with your product or service. Whatever the experience, it should be beneficial and fun for parents too. Think of the unique ways you can educate parents — the consumer — while engaging with your target audience to create a win-win situation. 

Educate your consumer. Create a deeper connection with your customer by educating them on the ins and outs of your brand. If your product or service is already well known and loved, consider pulling back the curtain on how you make the product consumers enjoy so much. Giving customers an exclusive experience makes them feel important and gives them another facet of your business to talk about when they recommend what you offer to others. 

Set up challenges. Physical challenges can make for great experiential marketing campaigns if your company ties into a sports-related field. However, you can create these types of challenges even if you don’t work in sports — just make sure your branding is visible at the activation. Your target audience will love testing their ability to see how it aligns with your product or service. And any chance you get to demonstrate how your product or service can add value to your consumers’ life is a win. 

Make it personal. If you’re considering experiential marketing and can find a way to make the experience unique to each and every person who interacts with your brand, do so! From customized product giveaways to DIY displays featuring your products and service offerings, consumers will love feeling like your experiential marketing event was designed just for them.
