  • Chat Windows. The ability to have live chat facility on a website is likely to increase browser engagement and increase conversion rates. Options are growing and prices lowering so it is an option for any business of any size.
  • Virtual Reality Marketing. This is becoming more popular such as in fashion where you can simply see what you would look like wearing clothing / glasses / watches etc. This can stretch to many other industries that vision is an important part of a purchasing decision so the ability to enable that person sat on the sofa with their mobile an experience of what purchasing a product could do for them will become a great way to increase sales and leads.
