What are some other examples of the Experience Economy in action?

Some other examples of the Experience Economy in action include theme parks like Disney World and Universal Studios, where the experience of being in a magical or thrilling environment is the main product. Another example is the rise of escape rooms, where people pay to be locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to get out. These businesses are not selling a physical product, but an experience. Similarly, companies like Airbnb and Uber are also part of the Experience Economy, as they sell not just a service, but also an experience.

Question was asked on:

By rethinking the simple baseball, and the customers who buy it, Rawlings designed a baseball called the "radar ball." Using simple information technology, they created a baseball with a microchip that digitally shows how fast the ball is thrown after each throw. The result is a fun, inexpensive alternative to costly radar guns. But more importantly, Rawlings found a way to increase social interaction, taking a game of catch to a different level and creating a different experience.
