How to use AR in the marketing campaign?
It is crucial to choose a proper way to use augmented reality technology to create the most effective advertising campaign. Below, we will study the most popular applications of augmented reality in marketing, which you can successfully implement in your promotion campaign.
Large-screen AR advertisement
Large-screen AR advertisement is a commercial that is broadcast in public places to capture the widest potential audience. Such advertising is well suited for products and services of daily consumption.
An outstanding advantage of a large-screen augmented reality ad over mobile AR advertising is that the users do not need to install any applications on their phones. At the same time, the use of various interactive elements in large-screen AR advertising creates a sense of personalization and emotional connection with the brand, which is very difficult to achieve with the help of traditional outdoor advertising.

Virtual try-on
Virtual fitting is a powerful marketing tool that allows you to multiply the conversion rate and reduce the return rate of goods.
Retail market experts predict that in the next few years AR try-on will become a common practice. For example, Facebook and Instagram have already launched AR advertising campaigns in association with major beauty brands.
In the meantime, while advertising campaigns in social networks are not accessible to everyone, you can design your augmented reality app for the virtual fitting of your products.
