Background of the study
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have emerged as innovative tools in the advertising landscape, offering immersive and interactive consumer experiences. By integrating digital elements into real-world settings (AR) or creating entirely virtual environments (VR), brands can engage consumers in novel ways that traditional advertising cannot match (Olu, 2023). These technologies enable consumers to interact with products virtually, thereby increasing engagement and driving brand recall. Research shows that immersive advertising experiences can significantly enhance consumer perceptions of a brand’s innovation and create a stronger emotional connection (Adeniyi, 2024). However, the implementation of AR and VR in advertising also poses challenges such as high production costs, technological accessibility, and potential user discomfort. This study examines how AR and VR are utilized in advertising to enhance consumer engagement and evaluates their effectiveness in creating memorable brand experiences. Data will be collected through consumer surveys, case studies, and analysis of engagement metrics to determine the impact of these technologies on advertising performance.
Statement of the problem
Despite the promising potential of AR and VR in advertising, many brands struggle to implement these technologies effectively to enhance consumer engagement. High production costs, technical challenges, and inconsistent user experiences can limit the impact of immersive advertising campaigns. Furthermore, there is limited empirical evidence on how AR and VR influence consumer behavior and engagement levels compared to traditional advertising methods. This study seeks to address these issues by investigating the role of AR and VR in advertising and their effect on consumer engagement, thereby providing insights into how brands can optimize these technologies for better marketing outcomes (Chin, 2023).
Objectives of the Study
To assess the impact of AR and VR on consumer engagement in advertising.
To compare the effectiveness of immersive technologies with traditional advertising.
To recommend strategies for integrating AR and VR into advertising campaigns.
Research questions
How do AR and VR technologies influence consumer engagement?
What are the key differences between immersive and traditional advertising in terms of engagement?
Which strategies can enhance the effectiveness of AR and VR in advertising?
Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it explores the potential of AR and VR to revolutionize advertising by enhancing consumer engagement. The findings will provide valuable insights for marketers seeking to incorporate immersive technologies into their campaigns, thereby improving brand interaction and recall. The research contributes to the academic literature on innovative advertising techniques and offers practical recommendations for optimizing AR and VR use (Ogunleye, 2024).
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study is limited to analyzing AR and VR applications in advertising and their effect on consumer engagement within selected industries. It does not address broader technological challenges or global implementation variations.
