What is the Metaverse? Well, it’s not fully here so there is no final answer … yet.
A conversation with Metaverse expert Elizabeth Strickler sheds some light on this new frontier.
It’s clear that retailers – or any brand with a physical environment – need to proceed thoughtfully into the Metaverse.

And it won’t be an exact replica since these virtual worlds aren’t bound by permits, queues, parking and other inconveniences from the physical world. To succeed, brands should use this opportunity to create something new with a tailored, virtual experience.
