For instance, AR in the food and beverage industry enhance guest experiences. AR menus create virtual food with multiple digital renderings and 3D photographs to display accurate representation and portions. Customers can also scan menus or food packages to determine nutritional information.
VR is increasingly complementing CX because of its life-like experiences and emotional footprint.

Email continues to be a major channel of communication, with billions still using it for personal, commercial, industrial, legal, scientific, and academic purposes. In others words, email is here to stay, and email marketing itself continues to be important.
Email marketing is evolving, and generic marketing emails aren’t as effective as they once were. It is now a combination of automation and, more importantly, personalization that makes email marketing important for 2019. When you can trigger your email marketing to something specific, such as, a user browsing a particular product, and then, follow-up with a promotional price or demo video in a personalized email, this can be very effective.
Email is often the final ‘trigger’ to motivate an action, especially when combined with your re-marketing techniques.

The number one way you’re going to reach this crowd — and many others — is through your social media marketing plan.
You have to aggressively market on all of your accounts including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram.
It’s estimated that there are around 2 billion active monthly users on Facebook. Instagram boosts around 1 billion monthly users.
