Visual Merchandising and Tech Converge for Experience Activation at #RICE23

Retail TouchPoints’ 2023 Store Design & Experience Survey found that store design teams are laser-focused on implementing more creative visual merchandising methods (90%) and using technology more thoughtfully to support in-store engagement (63%).

To illustrate how these two objectives effectively converge, CS Hudson and Glass-Media will unveil an immersive activation on the show floor during the Retail Innovation Conference & Expo, taking place June 13-15 in Chicago. VM Versatility: Immersive Digital Path to Purchase is designed to showcase the impact and value of bespoke, modular design components that power immersive storytelling in physical spaces and create memorable experiences.

Through three different vignettes, #RICE23 attendees will witness the convergence of digital and physical by venturing through a highly immersive, customizable, digitally enabled experience that spans the three key stages of the customer journey:
