The term Product Experience Management (PXM) is a product-focused variant of Customer Experience, which has become a popular marketing term in the retail industry. But how do you as a retailer make your products experienceable for customers in your advertising?

In today’s retail and advertising landscape there is an increasing variety of touchpoints for advertising measures that are no longer even limited by space and time. With this increasing availability of customer attention, the quality and relevance of advertising is also becoming increasingly decisive for the success of product sales. Customers have always preferred to buy products with which they feel connected in some way. The connection with a product is the major goal that modern marketing experts in the retail trade try to achieve through fine-tuned and above all relevant advertising.

An elementary part of product advertising is product data, it is even full of it. And when product advertising is delivered to customers through various channels, the data must be highly consistent and accurate to provide a basis for a positive product experience. This consistency and availability is best achieved using a PIM system in which product data is regularly maintained and output to the various channels in a media-neutral manner.

In Product Experience Management (PXM), the products should be made fully experienceable, and this includes meaningful assets. These assets are managed in the dealer’s DAM system (Digital Asset Management System). And this is where the probably decisive condition for optimal PXM in retail becomes apparent – an integral interaction of the IT infrastructure in marketing production.
