How does a $2 hot dog earn a Michelin star? Will Guidara co-owner of 11 Madison Park, consistently voted as one of the best restaurants in the world explains it all comes down to their philosophy of ‘Unreasonable Hospitality.’ It is turning ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. This is the epitome of luxury. Luxury is not just a product, it’s an emotional connection, and today's high-end brands are transforming into experience architects, where the feeling a product evokes becomes the true value proposition. More and more brands are doing it. Principles of Unreasonable Hospitality in action…. 🦻Be Present. Listen to what is being said and not said. Luxury whispers, it doesn’t shout. It anticipates your needs before you even realise them. It’s about overhearing a foodie couple visiting New York but not getting to try a New York City hotdog and making it a pillar of their 3-star Michelin meal. 🕺🏽Take What You Do Seriously, Without Taking Yourself Too Seriously. JACQUEMUS recent boutique takeover in Saint-Tropez plays with colours, storylines, and visceral images that celebrate their French origins in a brilliantly playful way. It’s a feeling you can experience. 👟 One Size Fits One. Don’t treat people like a commodity but as a unique individual. 11 Madison created a position called the ‘Dreamweaver’ whose sole responsibility was to create memorable experiences for guests. They were given creative autonomy and a license to make people happy. It was a set KPI. 💰 It’s Not The Cost of the Gesture that Matters. Make HOW People Feel a KPI. It’s a KPI that propelled 11 Madison creating word of mouth long before customers arrived and well after they had experienced it. By prioritising experiences, luxury brands create lasting memories that translate into loyal customers and powerful word-of-mouth marketing. https://lnkd.in/ec7DHAT2 #Culture #Luxury #Strategy
