About this Talk

Why do people spend $15 on a movie theater ticket to see a movie once? Why do people spend $6 on a Frappuccino to drink it once? Why do people complain about spending more than $5.99 on a book they can read over and over? One not so simple answer in two parts: Perception and experiential consumption.

Movie going has always been an experience, but when did drinking a cup of coffee become one? When Starbucks set out to revolutionize how people buy their coffee. It wasn’t just about the product, it was about the personalized experience. Product customization and that Cheer’s “Everyone knows your name” feeling seem elementary in theory, but the application can prove more challenging. During this workshop, we’ll explore how readers develop their perception of an author brand and how to turn that into both brand loyalty and brand affinity using omnichannel marketing. You’ll walk away with actionable and implementable steps to leverage consumer behavior and increase your marketing strategy ROI.
