Instapanel’s Post

This clip stopped me in my scroll. A man is served his pizza in a nice but not fancy Italian restaurant. Without warning or introduction, he begins belting Verdi's "La donna è mobile" from Rigoletto. The restaurant is instantly transformed. Forks were held mid-bite. Conversations halted. A waiter froze, his pitcher tilted above a glass. The entire restaurant was suspended in time. It turns out the man is Germany's Got Talent winner, and professionally trained opera singer, Ricardo Marinello. Apparently this is Ricardo’s shtick. He eats at Italian restaurants around the world and suddenly starts singing opera. But here's what fascinated me: If it was anything but music, an interruption during dinner would be met with annoyance. Imagine a juggler or magician during apps. A mime or comedian over soup. You'd probably ask for the check. But music? Music gets a free pass. It doesn't need permission to electrify an atmosphere. It simply does. It delights by transforming strangers into audience members, and a routine Tuesday dinner into an unforgettable experience. Only music can turn an interruption into an invitation. This is the power of music. This is why I love working in the music industry so much. #CreativeStrategy #CustomerExperience

Find your ONE thing. What are you known for? Is that a dish? A cocktail? Or is it the service people love? There must be ONE thing that gets people to start talking about you and returning for more. It does not have to be crazy expensive or complicated. It can be simple but made your way and is always consistent. Think of it like a music album by an artist. ONE song grabs attention. Find that ONE thing for your hospitality venue. #foodandbeverage #restaurants #hospitality

This summer we tested out a belief that the lack of availability of espresso martini's at major events (festivals, music venues, sports stadiums, etc.) was an enormous missed opportunity and that BOMANI was the perfect solution. The simple realization we had is that when we attended music festivals we couldn't get espresso martinis. Which sucks when you consider it's the perfect drink for that occasion. BOMANI profitably solves that problem. No need to mix, shake, chill, etc. All you need to do is crack open a cold can and enjoy a delicious, premium espresso martini wherever you want. At our first major event (music, extreme sports, big letters that come before "Y") we were the top selling product of the weekend from a dollar sales perspective and it wasn't particularly close. What we learned is that our hypothesis was correct. People want espresso martinis in a delicious, convenient, better-for-you format and BOMANI is the answer.

Let BLONDIE make your white wine TASTE better. Really?!.. The answer: absolutely. Recent scientific studies consistently reveal that pairing wine with music that elicits a harmonious emotional response notably enhances the overall experience. Intensifying the flavour and our pleasure derived from it.⁠ If you favour your Chablis or Piquepouls, consider playing Blondie's lively and upbeat tunes. You'll notice a remarkable 40% increase in its zestiness and refreshment. For those of you who prefer Malbecs or Merlots, indulge in grand, sweeping orchestral or operatic melodies. This choice will elevate the wine's richness and full-bodied character by around 40%. Still skeptical? Give it a try yourself. It's yet another demonstration of the profound influence our senses hold. 👍 #sensoryresearch #sensoryscience #wine #sounddesign #music #marketing

Yep, we went to The #DoobieBrothers concert! Awesome!   This concert brought me so much #joy! * The staff inside Choctaw Casinos & Resorts the concert venue were gracious and hospitable (food service not so much. I’ll save that for another post) * It was awesome singing out loud and dancing. I didn’t realize how many hits The Doobie Brothers had… and that I knew!!!! * I loved watching the crowd get lost in the joy of the music The moments and memories are priceless, and it was worth it! WHY THIS MATTERS: A quick reflection first - In March 2020, I asked consumers why certain activities (that had been taken away) brought them joy. This is one quote that has always stuck with me.   “Music is organic - people naturally respond to, resonating in us like our own hearts beating. When it is shared with others it becomes a connector of the human experience. It helps my soul” Fast forward to today: Consumers are making choices about where and how to spend their money. Our data shows that consumers continue to go out less, but splurge more when they do. Whether you are in QSR to fine dining to a movie theater or concert venue, what will you do to create fabulous first impressions and memorable lasting impressions? #bringmorejoy #momentsandmemories #concerts #guestexperience

We have truly done the impossible. The SAFE Bar Network is ending the year 204 alcohol-serving venues strong. This year alone, we trained 164 bars, restaurants, nightclubs, breweries, speakeasies, music venues, and more. This is a record not only for us but a record for any safe nightlife program ever. You’ve helped us become the nation’s leader in equipping folks with the skills to give everyone a safe night out. Here are just a few highlights this year. “The facilitator kept everyone engaged while still moving the conversation forward. Through some of the more difficult topics, she was able to keep everyone talking, which is what we needed.” “The training was very engaging and encouraged folks to ask questions. The facilitator had great insights on how better to recognize iffy situations and how to respond to them.” “One thing I will do after training is be friendly and welcoming to everyone while still being clear about all rules and expectations of the venue.” “Now I have the skills to keep calm, stay aware of the space and people’s interactions, let them know in little ways that I “see them” and care about their experience throughout their time here. 🍸🍸 Curious? Join us at a SAFE Night Out Session to learn more about how you can make every night a Safe Night Out.
