DESCRIPTION
The word “experience” is everywhere — Brand Experience, Customer Experience, User Experience, the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In fact, it's used so much that it’s nearly been diluted of all meaning and yet it is one of the most critical components to success in business today. Companies that once thrived on innovation, bringing new products and services to market, are finding less reward for their efforts as competitors are able to quickly match new features and technology - making them almost indistinguishable from one another. What truly defines a brand today is how its customers experience its products and services. It is so important, that successful companies are now shifting their focus from product innovation to “experience innovation” According to Fast Company, “Experience innovation isn’t driven by specific product features or design, but by reimagining the broader experience of how customers might use the product or service. By looking beyond the product to take a broader view of customer issues and activities around the product, companies can find new ways to address unmet needs, create talk-worthiness, and fuel differentiation.” Companies like Uber, Nike, and Delta are all leveraging the power of experience to redefine long-standing industries and earn new, more loyal customers in the process. It’s no longer about advancing technology to be faster or smaller and it doesn’t require a team of engineers to achieve. Rather, it requires “a holistic vision for a transformed brand experience” that begins with observing your customers behavior and exploring opportunities to improve how they interact with your products and services. On Wednesday, November 19 Chief Experience Officer of Clockwork, Chuck Hermes, explored what “experience” really means for marketers. He presented on the common types of “experiences” and focused specifically on the discipline of User Experience (UX) and the role it plays in the development of the products and services that we market within the “interactive” industry.TRANSCRIPT

thin-slicing
Thin-slicing is how our brains use limited information to come to a conclusion - often unconsciously.

Digital-Physical Mashups by Darrell Rigby - Sept. 2014 Issue
Last December my daughter Stacy wanted to buy the Just Dance 4 video game for her little girl. She found it on a major retailer’s website for $29.97. To be on the safe side—Christmas was approaching—she decided to go to the retailer’s local store and pick it up. There, however, it was selling for $47.97, a 60% markup. She was surprised, but she remembered the company’s price-matching guarantee, so she asked for the online price. No dice, said the cashier—the guarantee applied only to competitors’ prices.
“Wait,” Stacy said. “I can buy this game online and have it shipped to the store free, right?” The cashier agreed, but cautioned that it might take several days. My daughter replied, “But it’s on your shelf now. Can’t I just pay for it online and take one from the shelf?” Of course not, was the response; the store and the online operation were separate businesses, and that would mess things up. Standing at the register, Stacy ordered the item on her phone…
