Qualitative benchmarking analysis as well as expert interviews have been combined to reach the goal of the research.

Considering how current users of the metaverse are enthusiastic about the metaverse's adoption to everyday activities, it is important to understand how behavioral economics principles can be used in the metaverse for marketing purposes systematically to help achieving companies’ goals. The findings of this thesis may help marketers to comprehend the potential usage of behavioral economics principles in the metaverse.
