The Benefits of Flix AR

April 7, 2022

By 2022, it is projected that there will be 3.5 billion mobile Augmented Reality (AR) users, which is 44% of the world’s population!


Clearly the way we shop is changing and customer experience is becoming one of the most important deciding factors in the shopping process.


Studies have shown that shoppers are more likely to have a poor online customer experience due to a lack of information, being unable to imagine the products in situ and the inability to touch the product. That’s where AR comes into play. Allowing shoppers to experience a product in their home helps reduce consideration time and drives conversions. 


Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 47% of consumers, surveyed by PwC, preferred in-store shopping for non-food items. In comparison, 30% of consumers preferred shopping via their mobile phone. The effects of the pandemic have led to 45% preferring to shop online via their mobile phone, alongside a substantial increase in those who shop online via computers and tablets.


As we see a shift in shopping preference to mobile devices, and enter the busiest time of the year, there has never been a better time to integrate AR into your CR strategy.

Flix AR boosts conversions

Our A/B tests randomly expose shoppers to a product page with and without the Augmented Reality experience. This allows us to prove the impact of Flix AR alone, whilst controlling all

other on-page variables.


We compared 169 products across 35 countries from 5 individual brands. From this large sample, we saw an average uplift of 8.96% in Add-to-Cart rates on pages with AR implemented. 


We know that when implemented correctly through our expansive retailer network, AR has the power to turn browsers into buyers and help brands drive crucial conversions, especially during busy shopping holidays such as Black Friday and Singles’ Day.
