Experiential Cafe

Coffee and tea houses elevate experiences with unique services

Implications - Recognizing the need to entertain patrons, cafes are turning to niche hybrid services to create memorable consumer experiences. Integrating film studios and 3D-printing services, coffee and tea houses are seeking to not only add a sense of novelty to the retail experience, but also provide patrons with activities and services that consumers wouldn't typically have access to. The integration of these services helps traditional retailers transform ordinary consumer experiences into exciting and unconventional activities.
Workshop Question - Is there room to integrate a memorable and unique consumer experience into your business? If so, how would you do it?
