1. Innovative
Well, there are a lot of resources in the field of Augmented and Virtual reality. Huge companies like Google and Facebook keep pouring money into new AR startups. They are competing who will be first. Let me show you some examples where you can see investments into the VR & AR.
- Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion USD (Yes! You see well!)

I could go on and on and the message would be still the same – the future is where the money goes! Are you sad that your business is not about AR/VR world? Don’t be, you can always connect your business with the newest technology and be one step ahead of your competitors!
2. Crazy Increase in Sales
When I say crazy I mean CRAZY! A study conducted on 1100 shoppers in the US revealed some interesting numbers for AR in retail. Come and have a look with me!

People want to have fun. They want to have fun when studying, working and shopping too. They will love it if you can provide them with the fun they need. And they will be coming back for more! And this is what you want! You want people to come back for more items. You want positive word-of-mouth.
With all the fun aside, virtual shops make things easier for our customers. It allows them to see how the item fits in their interior. With just one click, they can change the colour and texture and see if that is the right purchase! It gives them time and all the means to decide correctly, so they don’t have to return it later…
The list goes on and on. We can’t stress enough how effective this tool is!
