Abstract

This chapter deals with a particular segment of the experience economy sector, i.e., experience gift box providers. The analysis is based on Wish Days, a former Italian company that, in 2016, was acquired by the international market leader Smartbox. This is an interesting field because such companies act as value net integrators that set up and offer a wide range of life experiences, which are then “packaged” and “put on a shelf” just like any other product. The marketing approach performed by these companies is mainly based on networking and emotional engagement.
