Why and how to position your attraction as an experience
Experience marketing is not a new concept, and in fact Joe Pine launched the first version of the book, The Experience Economy, over 22 years ago.
However, the experience culture has really exploded since 2020. The pandemic forced a new perspective on what was really important and providing authentic and engaging experiences is going to be even more important for attractions over the coming years.
The world has changed and visitors’ expectations have changed. Visitors no longer want passive visits, they want to have shared experiences with their family, friends and loved ones.
The experience economy is expected to be worth $12 billion by 2023 and with 78% of millennials choosing to spend money on an experience, it’s clear the value of experiences has taken precedence.
ASVA trade members Navigate (formerly Digital Visitor) have worked with many organisations within the industry helping to reposition and communicate to the right audiences in the best way.
Join ASVA and Navigate for this inspiring webinar, where Navigate will demonstrate the reasons why you need to consider positioning your attraction as an experience. They’ll explore the methods behind ‘Experiential Marketing’, and help members understand how they can create a framework to achieve this for their own business, engaging audiences through emotional and sensory USPs.
