With Facebook, Twitter and others only offering text with 2D images or videos, 3D social networks are growing by leaps and bounds. Leaving just a message on someone’s wall pales in comparison to actually being able to meet them “face-to-face” in virtual night clubs, stadiums, malls, offices, and more.
The AvatarPR model enables people to engage with one another, using avatars, in unique new ways that stimulate positive social networking interactions with a more “real-world” feel and a unique online twist that so many enjoy.
Further, any real-life environment that is conducive to reaching potential buyers, hold sales meetings, trade conventions and the like; can be replicated, while saving money and expanding your reach to an even larger national or international market.
This more immersive approach to marketing and networking causes the consumer to insert your project, service or goods into their online experience. It becomes part of their experience, as does your brand, and you become a virtual household name — a necessity.
The Power of Virtual Environments
These environments are powerful social networking tools, as people who reside within them, derive a real-life sensation from their interactions in night clubs, stadiums, malls, offices, trade shows, theatrical events, concerts and more.
The correlation from virtual to real-world understanding and reaction in the minds of users, has been proven to drive the reactions, opinions and actions of individuals including how they make their purchasing decisions and impulse buys.
We all know that standard 2D interruption advertising (ads, commercials, banners, and the like) have less and less impact; in fact, are more likely to be shut down before a user even realizes what is being presented.
The 2D social networking options available to us today; such as Facebook, Twitter, and SnapChat are missing the immersive connections people make with each other through their avatars and their surroundings. They are flat and easily ignored or shut down thus limiting the ability to impact a user’s purchasing decision.
