Experiential AspectsAnthropologie: Rather than just any ordinary shopping experience,
Anthropologie provides an experiential experience by providing a friendly atmosphere, warming scents that are appealing to the neuro-senses. They thrive on providing an eco-friendly culture, and their visual merchandising displays are all aesthetically cohesive and tie into their intended theme of nature.
Babe’s Chicken Dinner House: “Babe” is Mary Beth Vineyard’s nick name, and she was the
founding developer of their infamous home cooked recipes. The experiential aspects lure consumers in with their down to earth atmosphere, and through their theme of southern cooked meals. They also provide a sense of culture, and enable southerners to feel at home away from home. The wait staff also provides exceptionally friendly service, and keeps the consumers coming back again and again.

Experiential Aspects Cont.2nd Street: With a tagline stating, “from urban to vintage on the square”,
you can tell they offer a different shopping experience unlike other high priced boutiques. They offer high quality vintage clothing at a reasonable price, which appeals to the market that typically shops at boutiques on the square. They also offer subtle music, which can be aesthetically pleasing to the ears, and live bands on certain nights of the week. Another big experiential aspect are the discounts offered for students that shop there. Their overall theme is apparent through their visual display of merchandise.
Chuy’s: From the minute you step into a Chuy’s you feel as if you are
in an exotic place. From the exterior right into the interior, you are in an establishment quite like no other. They portray a unique feeling as if you were in Mexico. Their experiential techniques evoke a sense of drama, and theatrical appeal.
