Toyota challenged all team members to “Start Your Impossible” - a call to re-imagine Toyota for the next hundred years, embracing technology, collaborating across the organization, challenging the status quo, and taking risks.
Accepting the challenge, three team members decided to address the Accessory Sales process, historically ranked among the lowest levels of satisfaction in the industry-wide automotive purchase process. The goal was not only to prove that AR could interact with a physical vehicle, but to demonstrate AR as a viable sales tool. The results were better than expected: Customers benefitted by having unlimited accessory catalog access via a “virtual try-on”; Dealerships benefitted from both an increase in sales and a decrease in operating costs by not having to maintain a large accessory inventory; and Toyota Motor North America (TMNA) benefitted by collecting data on accessory trends. The collaborative team presenting: David Kleiner – TMNA’s Applied Technology & Research Lab (ATRL), Jazmieka Smith – Toyota Logistics Services (TLS), and Dan Ferguson – Groove Jones.

Immersive experiences are about to become the new frontier of marketing, providing customers with more control over their experience and the ability to invite in and experience brands they love. With the looming fight for attention, brands need to understand the opportunities and threats: how to be discovered, how to be "invited in" as trusted partners in XR , and how to stay involved when consumers navigate their world with Augmented Reality as the information and experience layer. With new ways to access XR experiences, this panel will explore how consumers will use XR to engage with brands in a variety of ways - including potentially excluding them completely - and how brands should be approaching how to set themselves up for success in the near future.

Many brands have embraced Augmented Reality advertising on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat for the power it gives audiences to try their products on virtually. But AR commerce is about so much more than the virtual try-on. When done right, AR can serve the entire marketing funnel, from fun, compelling experiences that redefine how consumers engage with brands to viral advocacy campaigns that extend an advertiser’s reach and boost their brand awareness. In this talk, Camera IQ co-founder Allison Ferenci will discuss the secrets for creating AR experiences that impact the entire decision-making funnel.
