Description
The Experience Economy is pervasive. Consumers are diverting more of their disposable income to engaging in experiences. And even material purchases are increasingly being positioned as experiential.

Selling products through the allure of experiences can yield enormous benefits, such as increasing the "talkability" of the product -- highly relevant in today's social media age. Yet there are limits to doing so. Marketers aiming to position their material brands as experiences need to understand the dynamics at play in order to be successful.
