    (heoretical 3ra"e)or This chapter will establish a theoretical outline of the availableliterature. The literature in chapter is focused on experiential marketing

    and the evaluation of it. Next to this, related literature and studies to themeasurement of experiential marketing are described. In order to answer the main research uestions, I will use the literature in this chapter toestablish sub-research uestions in order to come to a solution.
