“The retail environment has increasingly become more relevant with customers looking to touch, feel and experience products before making their buying decisions,” Satoru Arai, Head, Sony Middle East Marketing Company, said, speaking at the store’s launch. “Such experiential retail marketing demands that store environments are built not just to sell products, but also to recreate experiences giving customers the opportunity to connect with the brand and product.
“Our new Sony Boutique showcases every detail of our latest products and technologies, while allowing consumers to instantly step into our world of entertainment content such as movies, music and games. We are convinced this boutique will hold high appeal not just to tech aficionados with their exacting standards but also to Sony fans and lay consumers who will find technology demystified at this boutique.”
