Joe Pine is an expert in the world of marketing and customer experience. As one of the men who coined the term “experience economy”, h<\/em>e stresses the importance of creating memorable events for customers.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

In-Store Customer Experiences<\/h2>\n

These events are meant to elevate the experience and increase the probability of economic exchange. Today, our economy is an experience economy<\/strong>– meaning that events that engage customers in a personal way are the predominant economic offering. It is important to understand that the levels of the economy build on each other. Great experiences begin with great service, and these services are built on goods. The goods are created from raw materials, which is the basis of all of the economy.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThe key to success in today’s retail industry is to combine online and in-store experiences. Joe Pine points out: “We only ever transform through the experiences that we have; we are all the product of our experiences”.<\/p>\n

Anyone can purchase an item online without having to go through the hassle of going to a store. Retailers need to make customers want to come to the store by offering a memorable experience. According to Pine, “experiences are a distinct economic offering, as distinct from services as services are from goods. So many glom onto the language of “customer experience” or “experiential marketing” rather than truly design and stage experience output”.<\/a><\/p>\n

86% of consumers prefer experience stores. \u00a0Makers and manufacturers are leading examples of an experience economy. In an attempt to challenge competitors, Starbucks opened a 15,000 square foot roastery in Seattle. The roastery is an interactive environment where customers can taste handcrafted coffee brewed before their eyes. This is just the beginning of the experience economy revolution.<\/p>\n

Retailers compete solely on promotion and price, and they must introduce experiences to succeed. Certain retail stores understand the need to change to thrive in today’s economy. The popular American athleisure brand, Lululemon, is opening pop up shops that offer yoga.<\/p>\n

Ulta offers waxing, facials, brow bars, and hair salons to enhance the customer experience and attract customers to their store. Nike brings customers into their store by offering training sessions, running clubs, and design labs.\u00a0Consumers should expect bold and exciting changes to their shopping experience.
