Metaverse: New Opportunities and Challenges for Enterprises

The Metaverse, as a digital world composed of multiple virtual reality spaces, is changing the way people live, work, and socialize. It brings new opportunities and challenges for the development of the digital economy, attracting the attention and investment of numerous enterprises.

The Motivation for Enterprises to Enter the Metaverse

Companies have various considerations when choosing to enter the Metaverse:

4. Enhance brand awareness and loyalty

Enterprise Metaverse Case Studies

Some companies have already begun their attempts in the Metaverse.

A certain tea beverage brand has launched a limited edition NFT blind box and created a Metaverse-themed amusement park. This not only meets consumer demand but also brings considerable profits to the brand.

A real estate group purchased a well-known NFT as part of its digital strategy image and issued derivative digital collectibles as identity markers for users to enter its Metaverse platform.

A luxury brand has launched a mobile game where players can learn about the brand's history through the game, and completing the game offers a chance to earn NFT rewards.

A beverage brand has launched an AI-generated NFT series and created the first virtual concept store experience space.

Key Points for Building a Brand in the Metaverse

The true Metaverse is not just a simple combination of VR and e-commerce components; it also needs to incorporate core technologies such as blockchain and NFTs. Enterprises should build the Metaverse based on their own culture and brand effects, rather than merely following trends.

Compared to native Web3 projects, traditional brands have a natural advantage in the Metaverse. Companies can leverage their own IP to tell unique stories, showcase brand values, and attract Web3 users to participate.
