How Operators Can Spark Joy: A Practical (and Inspiring) Discussion

It’s time to adjust the way we see our business, and to accept that we are essential cogs of The Joy Economy.
To be more successful we must create more joy.

Take every path that leads to joy,

and guests will keep returning!

The Joy economy is based on 4 simple pillars from which everyone benefits: the operator that optimizes resources and revenues, and guests living the experience to the fullest.

SPIRITUAL ANCHOR
& CONNECTOR

Be the brand known for bringing joy into the guest experience.

SATISFACTION

Unforgettable experiences create joy and lifetime brand ambassadors.

CONVENIENCE

Convenience creates joy, increase dwelltime, spend opportunities, and revenue.

COMMUNITY

Great experiences are meant to be shared and immortalized in every "TBT" post. Create joy and marketing for free, through reviews and social content.

The Joy Economy is a business model and ecosystem focused entirely on delivering customer experiences. It speaks to the enormous currency potential of joy - in terms of revenue, brand affiliation, staff retention, brand building and reputation.

Why is JOY our industry‘s essential mission?

Joy is more than a thrilling ride.
Joy is the complete reflection of an experience, and each moment  contributes.

How do we optimize each interaction, all the “in-between” moments, to enhance guests’ emotional connection with a venue?

How do you measure joy and why should this be your central metric and mission?
