EXPERIENCE-DESIGN PRINCIPLES: THEME THE EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE-DESIGN PRINCIPLES: HARMONIZE IMPRESSIONS WITH POSITIVE CUES
▸ Impressions are the “takeaways” of the experience; they fulfill the theme
▸ Introduce cues that affirm the nature of the experience to the guest
▸ Unplanned or inconsistent visual cues can leave a customer lost or confused
ALLUVIO
EXPERIENCE-DESIGN PRINCIPLES: ELIMINATE NEGATIVE CUES
▸ Experienced stagers will eliminate anything that distracts, diminishes, or contradicts from the theme
▸ Poor service is the best way to commoditize your product
ALLUVIO
EXPERIENCE-DESIGN PRINCIPLES: MIX IN MEMORABILIA
▸ Certain goods have always been purchased for the memories they convey
▸ Physical reminder of the experience
▸ Strive to have guests want and would pay for memorabilia to commemorate their experiences
ALLUVIO
EXPERIENCE-DESIGN PRINCIPLES: ENGAGE ALL FIVE SENSES
▸ Sensory stimulants that accompany an experience should support and enhance the theme
▸ The more senses engaged, the more effective and memorable it can be.
▸ Be aware of what may or may NOT be good sensory combinations
