5.1.2 Developing through Experience<br />

The strength of experiences, in opposite to goods and services, is the engagement<br />

to the individual costumer. Experiences are filled with sensations created by<br />

the customer. This makes experiences memorable and creates the specific customer<br />

value. “The easiest way to turn a service into an experience is to provide<br />

poor service, thus creating a memorable encounter of the most unpleasant kind”<br />

(Pine & Gilmore, 1999, pp. 69)<br />

Nobody likes to pay more for bad services or for goods, which completely unfulfill<br />

the individual needs. Customization creates unique values and selling propositions<br />

(Pine & Gilmore, 1999, Kotler, at al, 2009).<br />

Pine & Gilmore (1999) suggest three points to reach customer-unique value:<br />

specific to individual customers – brought into being at a particular moment<br />

for this precise customer<br />
