Engaging, enlightening, provocative, and sensational are the words
people use to describe compelling experiences and these words also
describe this extraordinary book by Bernd Schmitt.
Moving beyond traditional "features-and-benefits" marketing,
Schmitt presents a revolutionary approach to marketing for the
branding and information age. Schmitt shows how managers can create
holistic experiences for their customers through brands that
provide sensory, affective, and creative associations as well as
lifestyle marketing and social identity campaigns.
In this masterful handbook of tools and techniques, Schmitt
presents a battery of business cases to show how cutting-edge
companies use "experience providers" such as visual identity,
communication, product presence, Web sites, and service to create
different types of customer experiences. To illustrate the
essential concepts and frameworks of experiential marketing,
Schmitt provides:
SENSE cases on Nokia mobile phones, Hennessy cognac, and Procter
& Gamble's Tide Mountain Fresh detergent;
FEEL cases on Hallmark, Campbell's Soup, and Haagen Dazs Cafes in
Asia, Europe, and the United States;
THINK cases on Apple Computer's revival, Genesis ElderCare, and
Siemens;
ACT cases on Gillette's Mach3, the Milk Mustache campaign, and
Martha Stewart Living;
RELATE cases on Harley-Davidson, Tommy Hilfiger, and
Wonderbra.
Using the New Beetle and Sony as examples, Schmitt discusses the
strategic and implementation intricacies of creating holistic
experiences for customers. In an intriguing final chapter, he
presents turn-around techniques such as "Objective: To Dream,"
"Send in the Iconoclasts," and "Quit the Bull," to show how
traditional marketing firms can transform themselves into
experience-oriented organizations.
This book will forever change your perception of customers,
marketing, and brands -- from Amtrak and Singapore Airlines to
Herbal Essences products and Gwyneth Paltrow.
