10 Elements to Build a WOW! Experience
A WOW! experience involves some form of delight, amazement or awe.
Sometimes looking forward to the experience can compare to the actual experience itself. Like the anticipation of a vacation when you’ve been stuck in below freezing temperatures for months! (Many of you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about!)
When you’re WOW-ed, it goes deep, down to the heart even!
Often a WOW! experience involves purpose and meaning. TOMS Shoes does a great job of transcending beyond just the purchase of a pair of shoes.
There’s never mistaking a WOW! experience – you just “get it!”
Just like the clarity received, when you experience WOW!, you are fully present and want to keep experiencing that feeling if you can!
Very rarely does a WOW! experience hit one person and miss another completely…in fact, the opposite is true: everyone typically experiences it in very much the same way.
A WOW! experience MUST be shared – there’s just not an option!
A true WOW! experience has the ability to happen over and over again. Every time I go to Chici-Fil-A, I’m still WOW-ed by their service and friendliness; even though I expect it, I’m still enamored!
People feel proud to be part of a WOW! experience; there’s a sense of participation and pride to be connected with the experience and the brand.
Think through these 10 elements and find a way to integrate WOW! into your brand. It doesn’t have to hit every single one, but if you want to genuinely rise above the noise, it’s going to take more than just “OKAY.”
