94) One of the challenges of marketing is to reconcile differing customers' demands and expectations so that the customers and the firm can both be satisfied. Experiential marketing suggests that a customer will take the time to engage his or her senses and enjoy a retail environment, which will lead to increased loyalty and purchases. On the other hand, Convenience in the 5 Cs suggests that customers want to get shopping done in as little time as possible and with as little effort as possible. How do you think marketers can creatively–and simultaneously–address both?
