In the age of Covid, as we’re all striving for connectivity, customers have never valued experience more. They want to feel connected, seen and heard. In fact, in a recent Forbes report, a huge 74 percent of those surveyed said they prioritize experiences over products.
So, what does this mean for product-based business in the modern era? Ultimately, as people begin to value life experiences more and more, the end to end customer journey has never been more important.
Our Verve Portraits corporate partnership gifting program, provides our select partners with the opportunity to extend a truly meaningful gift ‘experience’ to their customers. A verve experience allows the opportunity to come together as a family or couple at one of our luxe bespoke Australian studios, and take the time to truly reconnect with one another, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
These experiences are powerful, allowing customers to connect in a way that their busy day-to-day life often does not allow. We receive feedback from sessions telling us this is a “once in a lifetime experience” that has to be “experienced to truly understand.” These connections and the emotional resonance built after an experience like this, are then tied to your brand and are in the back of their mind for any future purchasing decisions. When brand’s go above and beyond, it creates an authentic relationship with the customer that they never forget.
