Phygital experience and connected products: My perspective
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and commerce, one area that stands out for me is that of connected products.
As I’m deeply immersed in the nuances of technological integration within the consumer goods sector, I find the progress in this domain particularly exciting.
Connected products have evolved significantly with the integration of NFC and NFT technologies, marking an important shift in consumer and brand engagement. Initially, integrating technology with physical items like garments met challenges, yet these efforts provided valuable insights for today's successful applications. Modern connected products enhance resilience, safety, and user experience, representing a strategic brand initiative. This approach combines product excellence with marketing innovation and advanced supply chain strategies, resulting in improved consumer engagement, authenticity verification, and valuable data for future development and marketing.
Imagine transforming your favorite bags, jewellery pieces, high-end watches, and even your car keys into interactive treasures. With just a simple tap of your phone against the strategically placed chip on your product, a world of exclusivity and personalised service unfolds before you. Instantly access a dedicated page or app brimming with everything you need to know about your valued item: its journey, its authenticity, exclusive benefits, and much more.
For brands, this isn't just an upgrade—it's a revolution. This direct, uninterrupted connection to your customers transcends traditional digital boundaries. No longer will your audience need to navigate through your website, chance upon your social media pages, or wait for an email. They're perpetually in touch, immersed in a bespoke brand experience that's as innovative as it is intimate. Welcome to a new era of marketing, where every interaction is transformed into an opportunity for engagement, loyalty, and unparalleled brand connection. This is more than a platform; it's a gateway to the future of customer relationships.
