Welcome to
Even in a challenging market, experiences sell
Unless a business model relies on pricing alone, there’s no room for ‘average’ in the current market. The experience economy has changed the game and those leading the way have nailed their niche, and share their story through authentic branding and immersive customer experiences.
These businesses are not merely surviving, they’re prospering, by building loyal customer bases and profits even in these challenging times. Their customers don't fall in love with 'nice', they want places with authenticity and character and when they find them, they spend more, leave great reviews, recommend to friends, and return.
At its heart, ‘experiential’ is about the psychology of atmosphere, and moments that stay with people long after they've checked out.
But how do we capture this magic and turn it into something our guests can actually feel?
Our membership shares a steady stream of practical and creative support to help hosts refine their brand, strengthen their niche, and create guest experiences that are memorable for all the right reasons.
It’s a space to grow a business with guidance you can trust, within a network of peers that understands the day-to-day realities, plus informed knowledge and tools to help develop and diversify when necessary.
When a more personal steer is needed, 1:1 advice is also on hand from Creative Hosts curator Kate Morel, widely respected for her work in glamping and unique stays. This is a chance to test ideas, refine a strategy and style, and develop concepts with an expert eye.
“I’ve seen so many people play it safe or imitate others, at best the business doesn't achieve its potential, at worst it fails and disappears. The frustrating thing is, it’s totally avoidable.
Claim your own story and build a brand around it that has character and substance, with layers of authentic experiences that are unmistakably yours.And always innovate rather than imitate, it's how we thrive in hospitality today.”
