With NFT sales plummeting, brands around the world are expanding the use case of NFTs beyond mere digital art to real-world luxury goods. However, some potential brands are still facing frequent challenges to bring their real-world assets into the phygital world of Web3 as NFTs. The reason is — either most of them are not familiar with the concept of ‘Phygital Marketplace’ or don’t have enough resources to bring their real-world assets on-chain.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with all that you need to know about Phygital Marketplace. So without further ado, let’s dive deep into the concept of Phygital!

The Shift from Digital to Phygital!

Phygital is the concept of using technology to bridge the digital world with the physical world with the purpose of providing a unique interactive experience for the users. Thus, businesses or brands can emerge online stores with in-person shopping experiences by creating a Phygital Marketplace that offers exclusive merchandise backed with NFTs.

Since the start of the millennium, the way people engage, interact, consume information, or buy products has changed due to the advent of the internet. But digital adoption saw exponential growth during the pandemic, with more people adopting digital technologies, and turning to apps, bots, and websites than ever before — and this adoption didn’t see any flip side even post-pandemic instead, users started prioritizing more seamless, in-person & interactive shopping experience at the comfort of their home or anywhere. In short, without actually going to physical stores, users want holistic & immersive experiences in brick-and-mortar that are curated specifically for them and not mass-produced.

Therefore, to keep up with consumer demands and expectations, it has become imperative for brands to welcome Phygital, where users’ experiences can be enhanced using the best of the physical and digital worlds.

The Future is Phygital: Blurring the Line between Physical & Digital.

From Diesel, and Prada, to Balenciaga all are utilizing the concept of Phygital to reap benefits, including increased conversions, personalized customer experiences, boosted brand loyalty, and so on. So, what are you waiting for — start understanding your customers' needs, what matters to them, and how they like to shop & interact. Then jump to creating your Phygital Marketplace strategically to combine the efficiency and convenience of online shopping with the immersive, brand-driven environment of a bricks-and-mortar experience.
