Virtual Reality Tools
Now, the market continues to evolve with tools like Meta Quest, Microsoft HoloLens 2 for Developers, and so many more. With these advancements in VR come exciting opportunities for your brand to evolve, too. This makes virtual reality a no-brainer for many businesses looking to further their marketing strategy.
In fact, these tools are becoming more accessible with headsets like the Meta Quest 2 starting at $399.99. While it may seem overwhelming to start an entirely new method of content marketing, it’s relatively affordable to get started. With active users continuing to rise, we’ll say it again, VR is getting too big to ignore.

Luckily, VR marketing can play an important role in helping you see what your company’s next big step will look like before it even happens.
Featured FUSE Project: Sleep Number
In fact, this is exactly what we did for Sleep Number at their CES booth this year. We built a VR set for their team to walk through their booth months before the show.
Because of this experience, the Sleep Number team could point out what they thought was working about the booth and what might need to be tweaked before they set it up in person. Rather than wait until the day before the show, they were able to save time and money on materials to build an award-winning booth.
But, this is just one example of how we can use VR marketing to take your company to the next level.
So, why virtual reality marketing?
VR marketing provides brands with so many possibilities. We get to defy reality by creating our world in a virtual environment. It’s not about telling stories anymore, we’re now living these stories by creating our own experiences at the touch of a button. Google even coined the term “storyliving” to describe this very experience.
With VR, we get to redefine the idea, “believe it when you see it”. Google Zoo released a study that found that when someone uses VR, they are curious about everything they see in front of them. “VR utilizes interactivity to deepen the sense of immersion into something wholly different: participation.”
Consumers are asking for more, they want to be a part of the story, they don’t just want to read about it or look at it.
“There is an inherent power in putting users at the center of the action,” Sol Rogers from Forbes said in his piece about marketing and VR. “Letting [them] experience what’s happening on their own terms leads to more engagement, even empathy.”
When compared to other types of marketing content, such as video or photography, most would agree that VR engages better. Whenever customers interact with virtual reality, they get to experience your product in a unique and memorable way – making your product stand out from the competition.

What is virtual reality marketing?
Virtual reality marketing uses immersive, computer-generated environments to engage customers in a highly interactive way. Unlike traditional marketing, which relies on visuals and text, VR marketing allows users to experience products or services in a simulated environment. This technology helps create memorable experiences that can influence purchasing decisions, enhance brand awareness, and build even deeper emotional connections with audiences.
How does VR marketing work?
VR marketing works by creating a virtual environment where customers can interact with products or services in a simulated setting. Companies develop VR content, such as virtual tours, interactive demos, or 360-degree videos, which users can access through VR headsets or compatible devices. These experiences are designed to engage users, provide detailed product information, and create emotional connections, ultimately influencing their buying decisions and enhancing brand loyalty.
What are the cons of VR marketing?
Despite its potential, VR marketing has some drawbacks. High development costs and the need for specialized equipment, such as VR headsets, can limit accessibility for both marketers and consumers. The technology’s novelty may also pose a challenge, as many users are still unfamiliar with VR experiences. Additionally, VR content creation requires significant technical expertise, and the immersive nature of VR can lead to discomfort, such as motion sickness, for some users.
Is VR the future of marketing?
VR has the potential to be a significant part of marketing’s future due to its ability to create highly engaging and memorable experiences. As VR technology becomes more accessible and affordable, its use in marketing is likely to expand, offering new ways for brands to connect with customers. However, it will likely complement, rather than replace, traditional digital marketing methods, as not all businesses or consumers have the resources or interest to adopt VR.
