Experiential marketing is on the rise, as small businesses look for unique ways to create lasting impressions through in-person interactions. 

Pop-ups and live events provide unique opportunities to connect with customers and boost engagement.

How to leverage experiential marketing:

  • Host interactive pop-up shops – Temporary retail spaces can generate buzz and exclusivity.
  • Offer hands-on product demos – Let customers experience your products before they buy.
  • Create shareable moments – Design Instagrammable setups that encourage social sharing.
  • Collect customer data for follow-ups – Use sign-up sheets, QR codes, or exclusive event offers to build your email list and continue engagement. (See Marketing Quick Tips #44 on collecting customer data.)

Customers crave experiences, not just products.  Make your brand unforgettable with interactive events.
