More than ten years ago, the seminal book on experience innovation by Joe Pine and Jim Gilmore explored how savvy companies excel by offering compelling experiences for customers - resulting not only on consumer allegiance, but also a more profitable bottom line. And though the world has changed in many ways since then, the way to a customer's heart has not. In fact, the idea of staging experiences to leave a memorable--and lucrative--impression is now more relevant than ever. With an ongoing torrent of brands attacking consumers from all sides, how do you make yours stand out? Welcome to the new Experience Economy. With this fully updated edition of the book, Pine and Gilmore make an even stronger case that experience is the missing link between a company and its potential audience.
