Unlocking New Possibilities: Grow
Your Cannabis Business With Augmented Reality


Augmented Reality (AR) gives cannabis brands new and innovative ways to set themselves apart from the pack. Brands are using AR to create engaging and interactive sales and marketing experiences for their customers that provide a better return than traditional marketing. Here are some ways that Augmented Reality can help your cannabis business grow!


How can Augmented Reality help your cannabis business grow?


 Augmented Reality (AR) can help your cannabis business in a number of ways. It can be used to create immersive experiences for customers that educate them about your products and brand. AR can also be used to drive sales by providing interactive experiences that encourage customers to purchase your products. AR can also be used to create loyalty among customers by providing them with exclusive content and experiences that can be accessed through your brands Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, or physical locations.

Here are a few examples of how cannabis companies could use AR for marketing:


  1. Immersive In-store Experiences & Product Packaging: For example, a cannabis company could create AR displays that allow customers to learn more about different strains of cannabis and how they can be used.
  2. Social Filters: Facebook, Instagram, Snachat, and TikTok filters can be created to allow the fans and followers of the cannabis brand to create authentic user generated photos and videos
  3. Interactive Product Demonstrations: For example, a cannabis company could create an AR experience that allows customers to see how a particular strain of cannabis looks and learn about its benefits before they purchase it.
  4. Virtual Showroom: Cannabis companies can use AR to host virtual showrooms and product launches, allowing customers to experience the products from anywhere in the world. 

What are some of the benefits of using Augmented Reality for sales and marketing?


AR creates unique and attention-grabbing marketing materials that increase brand awareness while gathering useful data and analytics on customer behavior. It allows customers to engage with your product or service more through interactive and immersive experiences. AR campaigns give brands a plethora of branded and marketable user-generated content while onboarding fans and creating loyalty with fun and shareable experiences. 


When compared to traditional social media ads, AR campaigns result in 5x engagement and can triple brand lift.


Augmented reality can create engaging and interactive customer experiences by overlaying digital content on top of the real world. This can be used to provide information about products, services, or events. With your dedicated team of AR experts at BrandXR, we can create interactive games, educational experiences, product reveals, branded environments, and more based around your company, products, and services.
