12. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE THEORY
13. Welcome to the experience economy
B. Joseph Pine & James H. Gilmore
A few years ago, I saw some teenagers at a Wal-Mart putting
quarters into one of those elaborate gumball machines with flashing
lights, spiraling tubes, and cascading chutesa roller coaster of
sorts for gumballs. They were feeding coin after coin into the
machine only to watch gumball after gumball circle around and
around. And they werent consuming the gumballs after they came out!
What were they buying? An experience!
14. In the US there are 307+ million people and
90%+ of households can access electricity
But the candle business is worth $2 billion a year!
Why?
Because candles give us more than just light...
Think about an intimate dinner for two; an indulgent bath-time
soak; a cosy family evening.
15. Were looking for more than something to eat, a place to sleep,
general safety
And this something more has become a search for experiences

live in a fairytale world for one or two nights, or more.
Let me tell you a fairytales

new facility in Wolfsburg, Germany, that consists of a museum, six

39. Torfs
For Torfs using harmonizing positive cues means personalising the
service to your customer. Torfs is in the business of selling shoes
and this is tricky to personalise. Making a real difference in the
way they approach their customers is what they want to achieve.
This means the way in which they pay attention to their customer,
or the way in which they treat him or her, and try to put themself
in the shoes of their customer and endeavour to find out what he or
she needs. Therefore they have had to give their staff specific
training in personalising their approach to the individual
customer. How to greet and welcome customers into the shop, and how
to address certain problems, etc.
40. At the LairesseApotheek in Amsterdam, for example, all
impressions are in sync with each other. You can experience this
pharmacys vision through your senses, as it were.

41. Carglass already exists many years, but it is a nice example of
instantaneous gratification. When your car glass is broken you can
make an appointment by phone or internet, when and where you want.
At their local car centers not only the cars get a premium
treatment (the broken car is fixed are replaced and on top of that
your car is vacuum cleaned, and the glasses are washed), but as
well the customers (free drinks, free wi-fi, free newspapers,
comfortable waiting rooms, and most importantly friendly, smiling
people)www.carglass.be

Spoor Noord is a brand new park in Antwerp. Spoor Noord is a
contemporary urban landscape park. It combines nature, light,
space, relaxation, culture, sports and events.The western section
of the park includes a number of play areas, a bmx and skate park,
in summer a summer terrace and much more. The entire park has a lot
of free space to sunbath, picknickor relax. There even is a public
barbecue in the park, just bring food, drinks and stuff to let it
burn. Clean the barbecue afterwards and enjoy!Reconversion of an
old industrial area.

44. Dutch airline KLM released a video a few weeks back
demonstrating how they used social media to spread a little
happiness amongst some of their customers.Their activity was to
identify customers who checked in on Foursquare or mentioned on
Twitter that they were flying with KLM from a particular airport.
KLM staff then used the customers social media profile to find out
a little more about them in order to present themwith small
appropriate gifts.surprise.klm.com

Last year I participated in the Real Berlin Marathon. After 42km
each runner received a green plastic bracelet from Adidas, that you
could engrave with your personal best time in one Adidas shop in
Berlin. Dont have to tell you how eager each of the more than
65.000 runners were to do so and how long we were willing to wait
(surrounded by great Adidas runner gear) for our personal bracelet.

49. Nike created the NikeTown chain of stores with the goal of
building its brand and supporting sales of Nike products in other
general retail outlets. NikeTowns are rich in such experiential
elements as exhibits that chronicle the evolution of the company's
shoe design, a usable half-court basketball floor, and dramatic
video clips of star athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

their parents and grandparents under pressure to shop at
Delhaize.www.delhaize.be

buy is a present, even if it is for own
consumption.www.kleinezebra.com

53. If you have ever been to a Night of the Proms concert, you will

Square. It includes a 15m-wide, two-story-high, "wall of

exclusive edition maxibag is yours for free with a purchase over a
minimum amount of 99, in Spain.www.desigual.com
57. ENGAGE ALL SENSES
58. Have you ever noticed the smell of freshly brewed coffee in
shopping streets?
59. Would a new car be as exciting without that 'new car' smell?
Would you be very disappointed if we told you that the 'new car'
smell is artificial? I dont think so. All automobile manufacturers
have specialists who make sure a new car smells just right.
60. Did you know that supermarkets distribute the sense of freshly
baked bread in their bake-off departments?
61. Have you already tried chocolate sniffing?
62. Did you know that the smell of oranges can have a positive
effect on the mood of people in a disco? The smell of oranges turns
the visitors happy and relaxed, they stay longer and consume
more.
63. Do you know that mobile producers spend a lot of research to
find out the right weight for a new mobile? The average weight of a
cell phone is between 200 grams and 800 grams otherwise it's too
heavy or light!
64. Did you know that lots of effort is spent on making the right
feeling of keys on a piano or laptop keyboard.
65. AT&T found out that when you put on silent hold nearly 60%
of all callers hang up.
66. According to Lindstrom 74% of Europeans recognize the Nokia
ring tone and associate the tone with the brand.
67. When Porsche switched from an air-cooled engine to a
water-cooled one, they received a tremendous number of complaints.
What was the matter? The familiar Porsche sound had disappeared.
Porsche moved heaven and earth to develop a new exhaust system
whose sound was as close to the old, familiar one as
possible.
