Starbucks spent less than $10MM on advertising from 1987 to 1998 yet added over 2,000 new stores to accommodate growing sales
Starbucks' popularity is based on the experience that drove its customers to highly recommend their store to friends and family

A trio of anthropologists recently published an article based on observations at three independently owned coffee shops and three Starbucks locations around Boston.
Their intention was to determine how effectively Starbucks are able to provide the same community-based social environment associated with traditional coffee shops.
How Starbuck’s drives loyalty - a study in customer experience
SUBSECTION TITLE
6AMA 2014 Annual Conference - Tutorial
The biggest surprise was that Starbucks actually provided a more welcoming environment than any of the three local coffee houses.
They credited one Starbucks with having the most vibrant sense of community, and observed that the baristas there knew many patrons by name and could anticipate their orders.
The anthropologists also noted that the Starbucks baristas were friendlier to new customers than the bespoke hipsters behind the counter at the local places.
Same everywhere, but we still make you feel special

What is customer experience?
Cumulative Impact Definition
Multiple touchpoints over time, which result in a real relationship feeling, or lack of it.
- Wikipedia
A set of expressions, impressions, and interactions between a customer and company that result in certain perceptions of that company that, in turn, drive some type of action in the near or long long-term
- M. Million
SUBSECTION TITLE
14AMA 2014 Annual Conference - Tutorial
What is customer experience?
Distinct Economic Offer Definition
A personal and memorable experience that creates a distinct economic offer different from the goods sold and services delivered
A company's ability to deliver an experience that sets it apart in the eyes of its customers serves to increase the amount of consumer spending with the company and, optimally, inspire loyalty to its brand
- Pine and Gilmore, Experience Economy
SUBSECTION TITLE
15AMA 2014 Annual Conference - Tutorial
What is customer experience?
Psychological Underpinning Definition
An interaction between an organization and a customer as perceived through the customer’s conscious and subconscious
A blend of an organization’s rational performance, the senses stimulated and the emotions evoked and intuitively measured against customer expectations across all moments of contact• Not just about the rational ”what” but also
about the emotional “how”
• More than 50% is subconscious, or how a customer feels
• Factors such as the emotional, cultural, social, and physical aspects are often over-looked
SUBSECTION TITLE
16AMA 2014 Annual Conference - Tutorial
Different approaches toward customer experience
Like segmentation, the right approach depends on knowing specifically what the business challenges are and objectives you seek
• Financial – how do we squeeze costs out of the system, get customers to pay more (e.g. airlines charging for pillows), or expedite transactions (path to purchase)?
• Operational – how do we streamline operations to make it more efficient from end to end (e.g. process reengineering)?
• Technical – how do we enable the system to be more productive, manageable, and interconnected (digital enablement)?
Internally Oriented
Externally Oriented
• Functional path – how do we make customers’ journeys easy, informative, and helpful throughout?
• Emotional path – how do we address customers’ changing psychological or emotional needs as their decision-making evolves (e.g. decision anxiety, confusion, frustration, boredom)?
SUBSECTION TITLE
17AMA 2014 Annual Conference - Tutorial
An argument for a “Brand Experience” Approach
The world is growing increasingly complex and fast-paced
We are inundated by more and more marketing messages (and yet, we don’t trust them any more than we used to)
Technology improvements are enabling more and more companies to get the basics right (e.g. convenience, reduced wait times)
Copying is becoming increasingly easy – “sameness” of more and more products and services / making differentiation ever more difficultBrand experiences will drive tomorrow’s success and allow companies to stand out (products, services, and even “good” experiences aren’t enough anymore)
We look for and value what is personally meaningful to us - experiences we have with companies seem to matter more
SUBSECTION TITLE
18AMA 2014 Annual Conference - Tutorial
So, what is a “Brand Experience”?
Interactions so impactful and uniquely identifiable to a particular company, that they define the brand in customers’ minds, distinguish the company far and away from its competitors, and have a high influence on future behaviors
• Nordstrom's sales representatives going above and beyond
• Tumi’s lifelong repair policy
• Apple’s Genius Bar
• Uber’s payment system
• Others????

Benefits of a “Brand Experience”
According to studies by McKinsey, brand experiences are the most powerful form of word of mouth driving activity - accounting for 50 to 80 percent in any given product category.
Brand experience is inherently social, it's built on ideas that people want to spend time with and that people want to share.

Benefits of a “Brand Experience”
70% of consumers trust brand recommendations from friends, but only 10% trust advertising.
UK Energy supplier, E.ON developed EON Open House, a store in Nottingham, UK that educates local customers about smart meters, which are being fitted for free across Nottingham.
The project proves the power of brand experience by delivering positive advocacy when traditional methods had previously failed the brand; Net Promoter Scores of +88% vs. E.ON Customers control of -17.7%.

I don’t want to be sold to when I walk into a store.
The job is to be a brilliant brand ambassador. Don’t sell! No! Because that’s a turn-off.
Build an amazing brand experience, and then it will just naturally happen. Angela Ahrendt

A great brand experience is about knowing and interpreting
Know thyself(inside-out)
• Who you are
• Where you’re going
• What your brand stands for
Know thy customer(outside-in)
• Who they are
• What’s most important to them
• What their journey is like
InterpretInterpret Brand Experience
• WHAT can we do for customers that makes their journey better
• HOW can we do it in a way that is uniquely us

Great brand experiences have six things in common
1. Brand first, transact second
2. Distinguishes customer types
3. Focuses on what matters most
4. Makes people feel special in some way, at some point
5. Designs for continuity and intent (across channels, platforms, and path to purchase)
6. Measures, manages, and continuously improves

Grab a pillow, take a nap
The Swedish manufacturer of hand-made luxury beds, strives to make consumers’ experience transformative, from the first time they lay on the bed until the bed arrives in their bedroom.Guests are encouraged to take off their shoes, pick their own personal pillow, and even take a private nap on the bed of their choice.
This simulation coupled with the highest level of hospitality distinguishes Hästens and burnishes the brand like no other form of marketing can.

I’m here to take care of you
Each customer service representative is available around the clock and empowered to act on customer issues.
They are assigned to customers, stay with them throughout their problem resolution process, and get to know them as individuals.
They often provide a personal touch, like occasionally sending flowers to a customer or their partner to mark a birthday.
These gestures turn a faceless and cold experience into something more special, and give the brand a real heart and soul.

Non-stop coffee
Through remote diagnostics each Nespresso machine is technologically enabled to feed up-to-the-minute information of its status including rate of consumption, water temperature, pressure, extraction, etc., so local Nespresso service offices get warning to proactively address issues vs. waiting for a service call.
This preventative maintenance has significantly increased the uptime of its machines and allows Nespresso to more continuously brew great coffee for discriminating guests.

Decimated by the financial crisis, a miracle was needed
In 2005, the US power boating industry was 307K units …. by 2011 it was 139K units – a decline of 55%
24’-36’ Sport Cruisers (Sea Ray’s core) was down even more – the hardest hit
The 50’-70’ yacht class ($3M boats - custom homes that float) represented the best opportunity for Sea Ray to begin growing again, as it was expected to recover the fastest, but ….
Sea Ray had very little presence or product in the category, and …..

Service Area
Pain
Prep & Strike
• People just want to get out on the water—prep tasks take up valuable time for owners and their guests
• Even the smallest issue discovered during prep can spark frustration when people are waiting to leave the dock
Maintenance
• Owners have little faith in the quality of maintenance and suspect corners are cut
Repair • The repair process feels opaque and lacks responsiveness
• Owners don’t know who they are supposed to call when certain boat parts fail
Enhancement
• Pricing for a post-production change is often a negotiation that feels like being “nickel and dimed”
• There is very little support from the manufacturer, most of the load is on the owner
Hospitality • Taking a boat out isn’t a spontaneous adventure—it requires significant planning to account for things out of a boater’s control (e.g., weather)
• People want to enjoy themselves on the boat with food, drinks, and various other provisions, but it requires a lot of time
Crewing • The responsibility of operating a boat isn’t something people want to take on all the time—there are many ways to enjoy a boat, and some owners feel locked into one

Promise
Prep & Strike EasyArrive at the dock, get in your boat and go. When you’re finished, throw your keys to the valet, and they will take care of the rest. It’s that simple.
Maintenance DependableOwners can trust their maintenance crew to keep the boat safe, pristine and ready for use.
Repair ResponsiveOwners experience no hesitation around how to get something fixed. Repairs are as fast as possible, very transparent, and resolve every issue entirely.
Enhancement AdaptableDirect manufacturer support to make sure owners are confident in their ability to make changes without negatively impacting the quality of the boat.
Hospitality InformativeThe boat isn’t just ready for operation, it’s ready for enjoyment and comfort. Owners step on to the boat understanding the most pertinent information about their trip before they leave and know there’s someone they can trust.
Crewing LiberatingOwners, particularly operators, can easily hire a trustworthy captain, first mate or any other support person to fill in when operation feels like a burden.

AWARENESS
Special interactions vs. a broad campaign / let the new boat be discovered by targets vs. blasted to the masses
WEB SITE Concierge service that put prospects directly in touch with a Sea Ray representatives to do a proper job of introducing the new yacht and inviting users into a dealer where both would meet with them
EVENTS Intimate, luxury-filled settings of ~100 attendees at unique locations along the coast.
DELIVERY Sea Ray captain to come with boat / walking customers through vessel in detail, dealer training
PLANT Turning it into a design / experience center where prospects can tour the site / hands-on selection of materials (vs. picking out of a catalogue – getting the “feel” of the material)
BUILDING PROCESS
VIP parties, emailed pictures of progress, extending into a bound book, construction manager attention

Events that let boaters experience these boats in a personal, familiar setting to paint a picture of the brand and how it will fit in with their lives.
A variety of casual cocktail parties on the back of a boat to larger gatherings at yacht clubs and posh private residence.
Hosted in a way that highlights each region through food and culture but offers a hint of signature Sea Ray style (Maine lobster in Montauk, stone crab in Miami).
Sotheby’s to coordinate parties at multi-million dollar homes one the coast; other partners included Aston Martin, and Merril Lynch to make events about luxury, not only Sea Ray

The Design Center – Getting There
Make the entire experience surrounding the factory tour as seamless and enjoyable as possible, while maintaining ‘our version’ of luxury. It should feel more like a courtship and less like a traditional sales experience.
Arrange for all the travel to and from the facility. Treat them to the kinds of privileges they are used to receiving in when they make other purchases at this scale.
Entertain them beyond the facility. The relationships built will create meaningful connections that Sea Ray needs with this group.

Pop-up Showroom
Creating a portable showroom is an efficient way to bring the best of Sea Ray (and this new sub-brand) on the road in an impactful and immersive way.
Mobile pop-up container can be quickly setup at marinas, dealer events or anywhere else SR has opportunity to connect.
Coffee, wifi and iPads available to view and/or download SR app.

Boat Shows
Approach boat shows from a more conceptual standpoint. Certainly the boats themselves are on stage, but we are selling the Sea Ray lifestyle too.
This is not just an opportunity to show a huge inventory of boats and short period of time. This is a time to tell the story of Sea Ray’s future.
Consider a genius bar approach where customers interact with Sea Ray experts in a controlled environment and explore the boat of their dreams.
General rules of authentic hospitality go a long way at crowded places like this. Consider unexpected drinks and refreshments.

Brand experiences will become increasingly important in driving business outcomes
You must know your customers from the outside in, know yourself from the inside out, and interpret both to build an effective brand experience
Establishing ”your” customer experience principles that stem from a brand-driven business strategy is key in guiding developments and operational change
