Abstract

The allure of escaping reality and immersing oneself in the metaverse is increasingly captivating consumers, marking a trend that is poised to endure. Despite the metaverse's potential as a retailing powerhouse, its empirical conceptualization, interpretation, and portrayal of impacts on consumers remain in a nascent stage within current literature. This article charts unexplored research paths, providing invaluable guidance to marketers and researchers navigating the metaverse as a virtual retailing realm.
