Since then, this term has been used in many science fiction entertainment mediums, including novels, comics, and movies.
What is the Metaverse?
Nowadays––though it doesn’t technically exist right now––metaverse is used to refer to a network of real-time, 3D rendered simulations designed to support and promote the continuity of objects, identity, payments, and many other things.
Like the internet of things, the metaverse can be used by an unlimited number of users at any time. In simple terms, metaverse is a virtual space where people from different physical spaces can interact with each other. Compared to the internet, in a metaverse you exist inside of it, rather than look at it from the outside.
Metaverse is a goal of the future now that the internet has been conquered. As more is shifted to online systems, having the ability to experience a 3D simulation of real-time events can be a great way of moving forward. At present, only the most basic versions of it exist, featured in video games like the highly popular Fortnite.
How to Use Metaverse for Brand Marketing
The interconnectedness and interoperability of these virtual worlds make it an ideal tool and space for brand marketing, be it shopping, entertainment, interactions, or work. Metaverse combines the best of all worlds, with its amalgamation of game mechanics, blockchain-enabled digital goods, virtual commerce, as well as massive interactive live events, also called MILE.
Immersive Experiences
Immersive experiences without leaving your house can be a boon, especially if you’re an introvert. When it comes to brand marketing, virtual pop-up events, options of trying out clothes or makeup on your virtual self, as well as branded installations can be a great idea. Anything that requires the audience to interact!
Branded Collectibles
Many people love branded apparel and gear, be it clothes, shoes, or purses and backpacks. Additionally, the craze of collecting precious collectibles can be hard to ignore, even if it’s only in a virtual world under use of an avatar. Brands can create digital art, sports trophies, and medals, as well as other branded merchandise.
Parallel Real-Life Marketing
All brands have some sort of brand marketing strategy to market their product in the real world. To enter virtual worlds through the metaverse, brands can parallel and complement their marketing strategies that are working in reality, ideally resulting in a variety of earned social media metrics that can be quantified and used to advertise more effectively and create a consistent brand presence.
Is Metaverse Advertising Worthwhile?
The viability of using the metaverse remains to be seen. Early adopters will help pave the way of the future, but seeing an ROI from it may take some additional time as technology continues to advance.
