Experience Selling

The Experience Selling model increases the value of a product or service by including an additional experience. For instance, a bookstore may incorporate a variety of features such as coffee bars, celebrity book signings, and workshops to provide a more comprehensive experience. This business model is inextricably linked with marketing. Beyond the design of products or services, we create experiences and impressions, going beyond simply offering another undifferentiated product in a saturated market to providing customers with an all-encompassing experience rather than just product functionality. The purpose of this model is for the company to actively shape the observable environment of its customers, thereby differentiating itself from competitors. Successful experience sales increase customer loyalty and willingness to purchase additional items at a higher price, provided the associated experiences are included. Experience Selling entails coordinating all activities that affect customers' experiences: promotions, retail design, sales personnel, product functionality, availability, and packaging. Additionally, it is critical for customers to have a consistent experience regardless of which branch of the business they deal with.

When and how to apply Experience Selling:

 The retail industry has done exceptionally well with Experience Selling. Retailers no langer sell products; they are in a tug-of-war to win the hearts of customers. Experience Selling presents a major step towards achieving just that. You can differentiate yourself from your competitors and forge a direct band with your customers by providing a holistic experience. Customers are wont to spend more time and money at your stores as well as visit them more frequently. Well-known companies that use this pattern are Nespresso and Red Bull.
