The experience economy
Book • 1999
Originally published in 1999, 'The Experience Economy' by B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore outlines the progression of economic offerings from commodities to goods to services and finally to experiences.
The authors argue that in the experience economy, businesses must stage memorable events to engage customers.
The book uses the metaphor of theater to explain how businesses can create these experiences, emphasizing themes such as esthetic, escapist, educational, and entertainment experiences.
An updated version released in 2019 focuses on competing for customer time, attention, and money in the digital age.
