the future of e-commerce: virtual stores

At a time when brands are seeking to reinvent their relationship with consumers, virtual stores represent a veritable revolution in the retail sector. This exclusive white paper plunges you into the world of the virtual store and helps you understand how this technology is transforming the online shopping experience.

Accessible 24 hours a day from a computer, smartphone or tablet, the virtual store offers an immersive alternative to traditional e-commerce sites. Unlike a simple transactional platform, it enables the recreation of a genuine brand environment, interactive and personalized, by integrating elements of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Consumers can browse through a virtual space, view products in 3D, interact with them and finalize their purchase without leaving the immersive universe on offer.

This white paper details the benefits of virtual stores for consumers, such as the personalization of the experience, extended accessibility, real-time interaction and the ability to leave reviews directly in the virtual environment. It also explores the benefits for brands: gathering behavioral data, extending the audience internationally, reducing logistics costs and creating a differentiating brand experience.

Using concrete examples from Ralph Lauren, Lacoste, La Nouvelle Cave and Roblox, this document illustrates the diversity of uses and the measurable results in terms of traffic, average basket and brand awareness.

Finally, it looks at the challenges involved in successfully deploying this type of environment: technological integration, UX design, data security and adoption by teams.
