Strategically implementing experiential rituals at the retail level can directly impact consumer loyalty and your bottom line.

How?

By intentionally curating immersive, impactful touchpoints to increase customer dwell time.

The longer people interact with your product and brand, the more likely they are to purchase. This is not just confined to online spaces, measuring the length of time a visitor spent on your webpage. IRL experiences, like content playgrounds and in-store pop-ups, offer greater opportunities to appeal to all the senses.

This rationale informs every experience GRADIENT’s team of visionaries curates for our brands. When we partnered with Urban Decay Cosmetics’ incredible team to launch their Vice Lip Bond lipstick line, we strategically leveraged a range of components to increase guest dwell time:

Eye-catching fluorescent and vintage TV installations created an exciting, nostalgic mood for visitors.The attendance of content creators, influencers, and public figures, like Euphoria’s Chloe Cherry, generated social buzz around the experience, enticing guests to stay at the same venue as other high-profile attendees.The latest tech tools allowed us to create unique content-capture opportunities for attendees integrating branded filters, retro Polaroids, and compelling teasers.

Immersive touch points equal profound and personal bonds between you and your audience.

The clock is ticking with each moment a person engages with you. As time passes, they become primed for loyalty through positive associations, personalization, and emotional connection. Optimizing customer dwell time through captivating touchpoints is just one of many elements Gradient’s team considers before launching an activation.
