Role of AR/VR for Big Retailers

The retail industry has a new set of enablers that facilitates its unique bonding with customers. Immersive technologies, AR and VR, have catapulted the dream ventures of so many retailers around the world. They believe that customer immersion would rather be a key to enhancing the overall customer experience in offline stores. The market value of AR and VR technologies is expected to touch a massive $97 billion by the year 2025. Surely, your retail brand cannot overlook the scope of adopting them now! In this age of Phygital, it is the clubbing of the physical world with the digital world that leads to the transformation of a retail space into a customer-centric space. AR/VR-led customer immersion is a compelling way to boost engagement today. Let’s see how you can leverage these immersive technologies, AR/VR, to boost your business growth.

AR/VR  Benefits

1. Personalized Customer Experience

Big retailers across the globe have realized the immense benefits that personalized, targeted marketing entails. So, why would you use AR and VR in your retail store? These digital technologies help in creating personalized marketing strategies for varied platforms, viz., physical stores or offline retail stores using mobile phones, digital kiosks, web shopping platforms, and so on. The personalized marketing strategies using Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual reality(VR) help to provide your customers an enhanced level of shopping experience. As a retailer, you are not providing a simple 2D banner but 3D graphics-rich content, which does the wonderous job for you! Yes, the ultimate result is the total immersive experience for customers increasing engagement. Don’t you think this is increasing your sales, too? After all, happy customers mean happy retailers!AR tools like Magic Mirror can design customized apparels, or any products like cosmetics, as per the demand of your customers shopping in the retail store. Thus, AR and VR do create a customized, personalized in-store shopping experience leading to an increased users’ buy rate. Using these technologies, You can get a much detailed view of your customers’ preferences so that you can curate their shopping options for the future.

2. In-Store Navigation

Big retailers are focusing on the minimum physical contacts in their in-stores. For instance, AR applications enable in-store navigation a very easy process for the consumers. Like, there is signage (AR-based) for product-finder, pathfinder, virtual concierge, lift& learn facility, in-store catalog, in-door maps, and so on. This way, you can help consumers to find products quickly, and even can call ‘staff’ on requirement.

3. Contactless Trial for Products

 If you are a big retailer, owning a big retail showroom with a huge collection of apparel, cosmetics, accessories, wearables, you must be having a large customer base (and loyal customers, too). Today, people don’t want to go to the trial room and try clothes, or, they even don’t want to use testers (that are repeated with customers until done) while buying cosmetics. AR magic mirror with its aesthetic appeal handles this challenge, too. AR with video walls in-store and AR app mobile phones, people just love shopping offline and online on this platform.

4. Improved Customer Engagement

Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) technologies help to improve your customer engagement as well as personal involvement to a higher level. As said earlier, your customers now can use the AR-powered in-store navigation tool to locate the items they exactly want to buy. It helps in searching for products in your store very easily leading to smooth purchasing. Moreover, Your customers can have a virtual tour of your store from any location, just from wherever they are present now. Certainly, these AR/VR experiences boost a greater level of customer engagement. Your customers can get required product information using VR headsets leading to their immersive buying experience while using AR tools, they can see their items to buy in the real world, for example, digital kiosks, digital magic mirrors. Hence, as a retailer, you can benefit from AR/VR in-store as well as in the online retail segment.

5. Enhanced Content Marketing

The Augmented Reality(AR)and Virtual Reality (VR) are tremendous marketing too. For example, in-store, digital signboards can attract customers by detecting their age, gender and persona and displaying the related items onscreen (that can have the AR-led check-out system, too). Thus, you see, AR/VR can provide you with engaging, intuitive, personalized content for your digital marketing strategies. Even you can capitalize on these technologies for marketing on social media channels and sites. It is not just about displaying non-interactive ads that are providing product information to the users, as that does not always create users’ interests. However, using AR and VR technologies, you can now evoke your users’ interests by providing an engaging advertisement option to them which might lead to checking out the product, too!

6. Enhanced Customer Satisfaction & Retention

If your customers are happy, as a retailer you are also happy. If they are happy with their shopping experience in your retail store, chances are very high they will return to you next time, too. You create a unique bonding now with your happy customers’ thanks to the AR/VR immense capabilities that engage them, enhance their overall shopping experience. AR and VR provide personalized services to your customers that help you to retain them. Also, it is very less likely that they will return your products after purchasing. Thus, the technologies help in boosting customer satisfaction, retaining them, and guaranteeing you a profitable return in the competitive market. So, the adoption of AR and VR technologies is conducive to your retail store bringing in a greater ROI for your business.

7. Improved Employee Training

Do you find training your employees, staff, sales associates, etc. an arduous process? It is indeed a complicated process for every big retailer in offline retail stores. Even it would incur huge costs if any employee commits mistakes during training, leading to financial loss to your retail company. When you use AR and VR tools, the whole training process becomes smooth with zero risks.

How Gamification Can Boost User Engagement & Retention https://www.fusioninformatics.com/blog/how-gamification-can-boost-user-engagement-retention/ https://www.fusioninformatics.com/blog/how-gamification-can-boost-user-engagement-retention/#respond Wed, 26 May 2021 13:07:32 +0000 https://www.fusioninformatics.com/blog/?p=7255 If you are an entrepreneur or an SMB  vying to build an app, you need to focus on…

If you are an entrepreneur or an SMB  vying to build an app, you need to focus on varied aspects that can fetch you the desired bottom line. One important aspect is to attract, and retain users’ attention! How? Don’t let them feel bored. Attract, hold, and keep them hooked, forever. Millennials and GenZ need varieties in their platter. They just don’t want to stuff their mobile storage with unwanted apps. To find a permanent location on their mobile, you give them out-of-the-box entertainment and rewards. That‘d certainly help to boost user’s engagement as well as retention. This is called the gamification strategy, which involves your customers’ engagement as the prime objective. But how can gamification boost your users’ engagement? And their retention as well? We will discuss this now.

What is Gamification?

Gamification is a concept and as the name denotes, some sort of interesting, captivating  ‘games’ and ‘game-like elements’ are associated with it.

How do you reward your employees when they perform well? Don’t you give them accolades, rewards, awards, incentives, paid holidays, and a lot of surprise gifts? Do you think they will leave your company? No way. That is the strategy to hook your employees to you, pepping up their spirit and retaining them, and focus on your business goal. A similar concept applies to your app strategy when it comes to attract, engage, retain your app users. Thus, gamification is an important marketing tool that intends to drive a higher value quotient for your applications. Be it a web app, mobile app, native or cross-platform apps, or website, boosting the engagement levels is the key task of the developers. It is not actually playing games and subsequently gathering points, but the underlying ‘gaming thematic’ aspect is used for the overall application advantage, to drive users’ engagement leading to retention.

Top Ways to Use Gamification

1. Contests, Giveaways, Rewards

Attracting new users is your ultimate goal. As an app business person, your goal is to attract new customers, new users who will download your app and install the same. With contests, giveaways, and rewards you can attract multiple first–time users encouraging them to install your app onto their mobile phones. You offer them rewards if install the app, and then extra rewards if they suggest referrals. Moreover, you can also offer them a first-time buyer reward. Could be a 20%,40% discount if they sign-up, or, on their first order? Creating some contests kind of gamification strategy will compel them to give their email address, name, place, etc. to use the app!

2. Elements to Educate

Why don’t you use gaming elements to attract and educate your potential customers? Means, your app users. Suppose you are a financial service provider, you want to attract new customers. So, instead of creating a full-fledged advertisement to allure them, why don’t you create a compelling online game aligning your business area(finance-related)that will allow users to play? The very game might involve applying minds making some appealing investment decisions, build a financial empire, and so on. This game will help educate your users in the process of playing. Thus, gaming elements are used to educate your app users in whichever business domains you belong to. You can promote engagement by rewarding them with more points, discounts, on using your app frequently.

3. Fun, Informative, Promote

If you are a retail company, you’d want your product to reach your potential users who will download your app and use it. But, is that easy? For instance, if you want to promote your shoe brand, and you offer a gaming app that incites users to play following instructions, in the game, users or the players will come across the type of shoes and which one is the long-running pair of shoes that can make them run faster in the game and win. And once they win, they will score points! That’s the key gamification strategy here.

4. Building & Engaging Loyal Customers

You can think to apply gamification theory/strategy that if users are shopping with you, you can reward them by allotting certain points to them. This is a way to keep them upbeat about your offer and become your loyal customers, leading to their retention. Just do not rely on loyalty points for retaining customers or app users, use certain gamification elements that’d create excitement and fun for users to engage with your app. Digital lottery games, for instance, and scratch & win competitions can be hugely implemented, by just sending a link to your customers in your loyalty program.

5. Winnable & Easy To Play

When you are planning for gamification, make sure the games you deploy are easy to play in nature, as well as someone does win! Users should feel engaged and want to finish the games and in return win something. The underlying tone should be efficient enough to engage the existing app users and reactivate the lapsed ones.

6. Social-Media Friendly

Incorporating your social media pages within the games deployed can boost your app usage and brand presence over the social media channels. There are so many games on social media that lead users/players to share results online. This makes your users engage and follows instructions automatically. You can reward certain points to them if they follow, share your brand through your apps-based gamification strategy.

Conclusion

Thus, by determining what your users get out of your gamification process, you can increase your users’ engagement and boost retention down the line. Gamification elements have a simple motto – Making your conventional platform, the very app, more fun, more exciting, and of course engaging by adding a gaming edge to it.

App Ideas to Create a Secure Messaging App like Signal

The encryption system is the most preferred feature in a messaging app like Signal. Today, instant messaging applications adopt end-to-end encryption because security and privacy aspects are an important concern in any online communication. This idea earned noted significance when ‘Whatsapp’, a popular instant messaging app, announced a new set of data privacy rules at the start of 2021. It left many users unnerved across the globe. The data privacy aspect faced a big jolt. Elon Musk, CEO of TESLA, recommended his Twitter followers to switch to Signal. All these factors brought a big shift in the app usage ecosystem. There was such a big surge in the usage of Signal App that servers faced difficulties in coping with the surge. However, Signal’s privacy policy efficiently handled the situation and since then, there’s been an ever-increasing demand to build a messenger app with secure messaging systems protecting data privacy. The main idea towards building this app is the reliability, security where the back-end specialists are responsible for developing chat app encrypted messaging system.

What is Signal?

Signal is a free, instantaneous cross-platform, centralized encrypted messaging service application that uses the internet to send and receive daily one-to-one and group messages like files, documents, voice notes, images, and videos. The app has been developed by the Signal Technology Foundation and Signal Messenger LLC, the US. It has become a role- model for all instant messaging apps because ‘Privacy’ s not an option but a ‘mandatory incorporation’ within the app.

Secure Instant Messenger like Signal

With end-to-end encryption as the main focus, a typical chat instant messenger has the following architecture-

  • Sender’s messaging device
  • Server
  • Recipient’s messaging device

These are the interconnected parts within the architecture.

How it Works

A sender sends messages to recipients via a server. Without encryption, messages will be transmitted in the form of ‘plain texts’, that are vulnerable to cyber-attacks. On the other hand, with encryption, the messages first convert into cyphertext (encryption with a key)while transfer and then converted back on reaching the recipient’s device (a decrypted form with a paired key).

End-to-End Encryption

Encryption keys are not stored on the server rather at the end- user’s device(recipient’s). Only sender and receiver can read the messages and not even the service provider can access them.

One disadvantage Man-in-the-Middle ( MITM)attack by hackers.

Signal -kind of app can make it immune by developing a Double Ratchet Algorithm, an encryption protocol model. Even ‘Whatsapp’ has adopted this model of Signal.

Why You Should Develop a Signal-like-App?

The privacy policy of Signal is stringent such that the metadata is not stored in the servers permanently. Today, security for a messaging app is a big topic and the very market is growing day-by-day. Let’s see the following features that will give you an idea about how a secure app, a secure chat solution looks like –

  • Onboarding features means a short description of the app itself. The app must be easily comprehensible and meaningful to the end-users.
  • The strict pattern of signing-up and login process to the messenger that can be onboarded on mobile also.
  • Unique profile creation means storing user’s crucial private information and Signal takes an extra protective layer.

Factors that Influence the Cost of Developing an Application like Quikr  

To know how much it’d cost you to develop a buy-sell classified-mobile-application, you have to understand first the influencing factors.

What are they? Let’s find out:

1. Type of App-Development Platform

 A major factor that influences your decision to develop your app is the type of platform you choose. You have two platforms before you –  Android, and iOS.You also have to decide between a native- mobile app and a cross-platform app. Native-app mobile development is single platform-specific, involves high costs.  Whereas, a cross-platform mobile app development works for both the platforms and the development cost is lower than a typical native one. Comparatively, native -apps are superior in quality owing to their specific platform- based feature while the cross-platform app is budget-friendly most of the times. However, you must conduct thorough market research, go through customers’ ratings and reviews to decide which platform is best suitable for your business type.

2. App-Design

The two elements of an app design are UI(User-Interface) and UX (User-Experience) which are critical factors to decide the fate of your app. UI design casts an appealing visual effect, the first impression on your app- user, whereas, UX decides the overall experience of your app, how easy is to navigate it and the usage factor. Thus, these parameters and the design quality affect your pricing- part. The more quality visuals like animations, buttons, GUI, front-end development, etc. amount to the overall design of your app that can convey your brand message, too!

3. App-Size

The different app requires unique sets of functionalities as well as features. It depends what is your requirement and the various technical complexities involved while building the app. App size means all those functionalities you want to incorporate into your app, and the level of technical competencies that the process entails contributes to the factors for deciding cost. There are certain additional features you might opt for to stay ahead of your competitors. In that case, your cost will be a bit higher than the average cost towards building your buy-selling app.

4. Hourly-Rates from Development Company

Are you going to hire a company that charges on an hourly basis? Depends, if you are choosing a reliable and popular mobile app development company, and if it charges on an hourly basis and an estimated cost would depend on the time spent by the development team. Rather, the hourly rate is directly proportional to the amount of time spent by each team member.

5. Type of App-Development Company

If you are choosing a freelancer, then your luck because accountability lies with the sole stakeholder who is developing your app. And the price quote is what your freelancer demands. As said before, if you are choosing a company that charges on an hourly basis, then you can have a detailed quotation to compare between two companies offering the same service. Otherwise, you can go for an established mobile app development company that holds a reputation and good word-of-mouth for their services. You can get a relevant idea of their quality work done in the past, looking at their success stories and clients’ testimonials, to name a few.

6. Location of App-Development Company

Location does matter. If you are in the US, for instance, then any mobile app development company will charge between $70 and $250 per hour. However, depending upon your chosen company type,  and according to various sources, the costs may go up to approximately $50,000 to 65,000. In India, you can get your basic, functional application developed at a lesser rate as compared to the US, say, around $10,000 till $30,000. It’s all about the credential of the company you choose.

How to choose a reliable Mobile App Development Company

Though there are some key parameters while making the choice, one should consider mainly experience in the domain and accessibility to speak with experts in the desired company.

Key Parameters

  • Strong technology footprint
  • Agility
  • App Hosting Abilities
  • Diverse Portfolio
  • Case Studies
  • UI/UX expertise Capabilities
  • Security of App Data
