Here, customers can buy a wide variety of goods. These include hoodies and t-shirts, all within the store’s immersive virtual environment.
In addition, the retailer introduced an exclusive offer to increase customer engagement. It allowed users to purchase a limited edition credit card-shaped gold bar imprinted with a character logo.
