How Does It Help My Business?

As a digital advertising agency, it is easy for you to start offering web based Augmented Reality services. You can subscribe to any WebAR agency of your choice. Most such SaaS work as no-code or low-code DIY platform which means if your client has a creative idea, you can launch a new WebAR advertising campaign pretty easily.

But you can also hire external developers for more professional approach since the associated cost is very low. When you offer the final services, you can sell such WebAR advertising campaign to client between $5000-$20000 each where your development cost could be between 20%-30% of the selling price. Of course it is based on complexity. The more complex and creative as ad, the cost can go higher easily.

This is a very profitable business model since WebAR advertising can save a ton of money for client for many reasons:

✅ High lead conversion guarantee (up to 10x more conversions)
✅ Create once, works everywhere — Mobile, Desktop, TV and other medias
✅ Low cost (10x cheaper than AR apps) advertising strategy
✅ Fast launcing facility (create within days) — outrun competitors
✅ Universal performance overview from different medias
✅ 3.9B compatibe devices will make it easy to spread viral ads

With only few days of development time, your agency can easily deliver 4–10 such WebAR digital ads within a month. This can soar your monthly revenue somewhere between $80,000 to even $100,000 or even more. If you are running a significantly bigger digital advertising agency with enough client base, the revenue can be easily 2x-3x than what we are projecting here.

The user engagement for WebAR can easily shoot upto 85x

Here is a list of Web Augmented Reality platforms that you can consider to use for your next digital advertisement project:

There are new startups coming up with WebAR offerings but mostly rely on the engines of the above WebAR platforms and resell their services. That is why their price is most likely higher. It is always better to build things on the original WebAR platforms.
