Traditional retailing has undergone a profound transformation driven by shifting consumer expectations, an increase in e-commerce, and growing demand for immersive shopping environments. Experiential marketing has emerged as a strategic approach aimed at creating memorable, multisensory, and emotionally engaging retail experiences. Rather than focusing solely on products and transactions, experiential retailing emphasizes sensory stimulation, emotional connection, aesthetic design, and interactive participation, which collectively influence customer satisfaction, engagement, and loyalty. Prior research highlights that hedonic and utilitarian motivations, environmental cues, and holistic experience design significantly shape consumer behavior within retail settings. This study synthesizes key theoretical perspectives on experiential marketing and examines their implications for the redesign of physical retail spaces. Experience-based strategies have become essential for retailers seeking differentiation and a sustained competitive advantage in an increasingly digital marketplace.
