Knowing that many of its customers are also fans of the Swedish heavy metal band Hammerfall, Vianor surprised the guys who visited its pitstop with a [live performance from the band](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-will). By being given exclusive access to a super [intimate performance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaad-concert), this is definitely an experience that Vianor's customers will want to share—especially since it's one that you have to see to believe. As well as being able to drive away with a vehicle that's been tuned up, people will be leaving with a song stuck in their head. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Entertainment Mechanics:** Incorporate enjoyable experiences into mechanics procedures to make it more memorable - **Intimate Performances:** Provide close-knit performances to give exclusivity to the customers - **Surprise Elements:** Introduce unexpected elements in customer servicing to enhance satisfaction and engagement ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** Innovate customer service in the car repair and maintenance industry to make car maintenance less of a chore and more of an experience - **Live Music Industry:** Partner up with service providers to offer exclusive performances during services/procedures to enhance customer satisfaction - **Hospitality Industry:** Take inspiration from hospitality industry standards and apply the use of surprise elements to enhance customer experience in other industries ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automotive Parking Lot Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parking-lot-pop-up.md) - [Popstar VIP Fan Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jonas-brothers-join-turo.md) - [High-Energy Retail-Focused Experiential Tours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/experiential-tour.md) - [Auto-Centric Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relax-we-care.md) - [Surprise Concert Tickets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-nation-shuffle-tickets.md) - [Taxi Driver-Centric Branded Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taxi-driver.md) - [Automated Tire-Changing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tire-changing-system.md) - [Beautifying Pre-Concert Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/break-in-case-of-glamergency.md) - [Online Car Retailer Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clutch-ad.md)
