RE‑EXPERIENCE

How to make customers always choose you.

What's inside
Re-Experience: How to Make Customers Always Choose You, by Vivek Bhaskaran, Erik Koto and Mike Burn
The $1.2 trillion problem

Satisfaction is up. Loyalty keeps falling.

Organizations have never spent more on experience, yet customers keep leaving. Most experience design fixes the moment of the interaction. This book is about what is left of it months later, and why that matters more.

3 yrs
Forrester's US Customer Experience Index has slipped three years running.
57%
of US drivers shopped for new auto insurance last year, the highest in the 19 years J.D. Power has tracked it.
~½ billion
hotel loyalty members between Hilton and Marriott, yet average nights per member keep collapsing.
The core idea

Re-experience drives decision drives action.

A re-experience is the reliving of a past event that your mind keeps running long after the moment ends. It is the relived version, not what actually happened, that shapes what people do next: stop, start, or do more.

01
Re-experience
The mind reconstructs the moment from memory, mood, and expectation.
02
Decision
That reconstruction, not the event itself, frames the choice.
03
Action
People stop, start, or do more, and that is what you can design for.
