Background of the Study
Experiential marketing focuses on creating immersive and interactive experiences for consumers, enabling them to engage with a brand in a way that leaves a lasting impression. With the advent of new technologies, virtual reality (VR) has become a prominent tool in experiential marketing, offering consumers a fully immersive environment in which they can interact with products and brand stories. Through VR, brands can offer unique and memorable experiences that engage multiple senses, enhancing consumer involvement and strengthening brand associations.
Coca-Cola Nigeria has pioneered the use of VR in its marketing campaigns, aiming to create memorable and engaging experiences for consumers. In Kano State, Coca-Cola has utilized VR to showcase its products, connect with consumers on an emotional level, and enhance brand loyalty. Whether through VR booths at events, interactive digital campaigns, or experiential activations, Coca-Cola aims to captivate consumers by leveraging the immersive power of VR to elevate brand experiences.
This study will explore the impact of virtual reality in Coca-Cola Nigeria’s experiential marketing campaigns in Kano State, focusing on how VR influences consumer engagement, brand perception, and purchasing decisions.
