Activate Your 3D Assets: The Social & WebAR Campaign Playbook

Are your expensive 3D and AR assets stuck on your product pages? Many businesses invest in immersive content but fail to leverage it across all marketing channels. This leads to a low return on your creative investment and missed opportunities to engage customers on social media, in emails, or at physical events, failing to drive qualified traffic and pre-purchase excitement.


This playbook provides a complete stack to launch targeted social media campaigns that put your AR experiences directly in front of your audience. Schedule engaging posts that feature a QR code or a unique link, driving users from their social feeds to an immersive WebAR experience on their own device. By tracking every click and analyzing user behavior, you can measure campaign performance, understand engagement, and turn siloed 3D assets into powerful, lead-generating marketing tools.

Expected Outcomes

  • Dramatically increase the ROI of your 3D and AR content by deploying it across multiple channels.
  • Boost social media engagement with interactive posts that stop the scroll.
  • Generate qualified, pre-purchase traffic directly to your immersive product experiences.
  • Gain clear, actionable insights into campaign performance with robust link tracking and behavior analytics.

Integration Logic

  • Buffer AR Campaign Publisher

    This integration follows a structured workflow. First, the landing page URL for your Augmented Reality (AR) experience is created. This page must have the Hotjar tracking code installed. Second, this URL is shortened and customized using Bitly to enable click tracking and add campaign parameters (like UTM tags). Third, the generated Bitly link is used in a social media post composed and scheduled within Buffer. When a user clicks the link from the social media post, Bitly records the click data, and Hotjar captures the user's interaction on the AR landing page through session recordings and heatmaps. This provides a full-funnel view of the campaign's performance, from social media engagement (Buffer) to click-through rates (Bitly) to on-page user behavior (Hotjar).
