Immersive Marketing: Challenge Your Audience

Mar­ket­ing events must chal­lenge your audi­ence.  Sounds strange, right?  Does that mean you should sched­ule a push-up con­test at your next pro­mo­tion?  To that the answer is a resound­ing ‘it depends.′

Recent stud­ies from our schol­arly brethren in the realm of acad­e­mia point out that in order to max­i­mize your influ­ence over con­sumer behav­ior events must pro­vide a high level of chal­lenge that is matched with appro­pri­ate level of skill by the consumer.

True expe­ri­en­tial mar­ket­ing occurs when a con­sumer is immersed in the expe­ri­ence and there is a result­ing ‘state of flow′ between the stim­u­lus and the consumer.

Know your audi­ence.  A push-up con­test at the local DAR gala may cause angst and bewil­der­ment among its well-dressed, well-bred atten­dees.  But an Army spon­sored push-up con­test for area foot­ball teams would get more heated than two-a-days in August.

The more emo­tion­ally, ratio­nally, and phys­i­cally engag­ing the expe­ri­ence, the more mean­ing­ful and mem­o­rable it will be to con­sumers.  Immerse your audi­ence by chal­leng­ing them in appro­pri­ate and relevant ways.
