Are we craving more IRL Experiences? 💭 As technology evolves and our lives become increasingly digital, are we at a tipping point where real-world, in-person experiences matter more than ever? And how can commercial spaces and places harness the ability to create spaces that inspire, engage, and connect people? Through our latest trend forecasting, we’ve identified key themes shaping the future of the experiential sector: ➡️ Beyond Products & Services 🛍️ Consumers crave more than transactions—they seek experiences. Immersive and interactive displays, gamification and hyper personalisation transform a space into something memorable. FLANNELS X is leading the way with their flagship Oxford street store, featuring exhibitions and pop-up brand activations. ➡️ Celebrate the Local 🤝 Creating spaces that celebrate and collaborate with the local community builds deeper and more authentic connections. The Pop-Up in Chicago is a community-driven hub where local artists and small businesses come together to showcase their work. Initiatives like these forge meaningful relationships between brands and their audiences. ➡️ Connection & Collaboration 👫 Creating environments that bring people together is a growing priority. The The Londoner Hotel partnered with On to host a running event and refreshments in the hotel. Reading Rhythms is a travelling ‘reading party’ where book lovers meet and read to curated playlists. Thinking innovatively, cafes, breweries and spas are offering their spaces for the events. What other factors should be considered to encourage real life experiences?
