This important new book concerns the marketing of recreation and leisure experiences. While the service marketing model moved marketing into a new era, it didn't recognize that today, recreation and leisure experiences drive the market. The ways in which people choose to live, work, and play have resulted in leisure experience becoming a key component of lifestyle.This book is a compilation of what is known about the marketing of experiences, and is intended for both beginner and more advanced marketers. Written in a conversational yet instructive style, Experience Marketing: Strategies for the New Millennium engages the reader in a process of discovery to determine a preferred course for improved marketing approaches in diverse settings.As a wide variety of organizations in the commercial, private, nonprofit, and public sector are increasingly involved in the marketing of experiences to diverse groups, O'Sullivan and Spangler's book is a valuable resource in enhancing the quality of life for customers and clients.

Airport Marketing examines the management vision of airport marketing in the post-September 11th environment, presenting in-depth analysis of current airport management practices for both aviation and non-aviation-related activities. The 'aviation-related activities' section covers how an airport as a company develops its own marketing relationship with carriers and, in a broader sense, with all actors within the air transport pipeline, with the aim of increasing the number of intermediate clients consistent with its chosen positioning. The 'non-aviation-related' section, by contrast, focuses on how best-in-class airports have been developing new powers of attraction to customers in their regions, well beyond the simple concept of airport retailing, by use of the so-called 'commercial airport' model. Finally, the impact of September 11th is shown in terms of increased security measures and the future of the aviation industry as a whole. An analysis of worldwide airport industry is provided in the final chapter. Airport Marketing is essential reading for airport managers, government agencies, airlines, consultants, contributors, advisors and sub-contractors to this industry, as well as both undergraduate and graduate level aviation students.

Marketing in the twenty-first century has evolved into a hybrid of off line and on line skills that require the marriage of classical and new marketing competencies along with stellar salesmanship. My reason for writing this book is to help current and would-be marketers see the connection between the foundations of marketing and all of the changes in the 21st Century. I have outlined what I believe is necessary to become a great marketer today and what we need to continue to learn to grow as innovators, brand marketers and strategists in 2017 and beyond. In Section One, I have laid out the skills and experiences that showcase the classical marketing skills that will never be surpassed by transitions in technology. These skills and talents were taught to me early in my marketing career and are important foundations today. In Section Two, I have summarized the skill sets needed for marketers in the 2000's -- the new millennium. This section explores the interrelationships between technology, social media, big data and effective marketing. Section Three showcases the timeless skills and principles I believe in; these help ensure business success and fulfillment for all of us - marketers and managers alike. My intent with this book is to help young and newer marketers benefit from the breadth and depth of my experience over the years. I have been so fortunate to have been trained by some of the best, premier marketers in the world beginning with The JL Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, and by many stand out marketers at Procter & Gamble, Nestle and Johnson & Johnson. My successes (and failures) led me to a series of incredible opportunities for applying these skills in my career path, including three years as CEO of a dot.com (Netgrocer.com), many years in consumer packaged goods, fifteen years (so far) leading The Luminations Group, an innovation and marketing strategy firm, and three years of teaching marketing at the college level. The real life lessons of 25 years in marketing helped me fill these pages with authentic examples and situations. Serious, funny, inspiring and sometimes painful - all of it helped me become a better marketer and manager. I hope my journey will help you, too."

This book presents visions of how to solve social problems in the 21st century and how programs SHOULD be evaluated, not how they will be evaluated.
