In-person marketing, demos, and pop-ups are proven tactics to influence purchasing decisions - when consumers can see, touch, and try before buying, they do

Despite rapid digital transformation across the retail sector, one principle remains unchanged: nothing converts like face-to-face engagement. Digital channels may dominate us, but brands that integrate real-world interactions into their strategy consistently outperform those relying solely on online tactics.
According to a report by EventTrack, 79% of consumers state that an in-person event made them more inclined to purchase. For UK businesses seeking measurable ROI, this statistic alone highlights the untapped potential of live experiences.
Why in-person marketing still outperforms
While online sales channels offer convenience, they often lack the depth of engagement required to build lasting brand affinity. In contrast, face-to-face sales environments—pop-up shops, live demonstrations, and high-street activations—deliver richer, more personalised experiences, making them a powerful conversion tool.
The UK pop-up retail sector is currently worth £2.3bn and growing much faster than predicted, according to *Britain’s Pop-Up Retail Economy*, a report from Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR). This growth is driven by consumer appetite for experiences that allow them to see, touch, and trial products before buying—something no online ad can replicate.
