Experiential marketing allows retailers to demonstrate value rather than just talking about it, creating a desire to shop with a specific retail organization despite economic fears. The show-and-tell experiential marketing approach offers proof from a trusted source, influencing future decisions, desires, and affections towards people, places, and things.

Retailers can take advantage of experiential marketing in several ways, such as H&M, which uses in-store workout classes and chromotherapy lighting, and Showfield's, which features different departments that serve as in-store promotion areas where customers can interact with products inside themed showrooms.

Experiential marketing allows retailers to create lasting impressions that can go on to influence future purchase decisions. By offering a customer experience in retail, stores can attract shoppers, keeping them there using pricing, selection, and customer experience.

Retailers must consider the benefit experiential marketing offers shoppers in the current economic climate. Promoting experiential marketing can put shoppers at ease with their purchasing decisions, despite inflation and economic uncertainties.
