WOW is exceeding expectation

Simple arithmetic, when you obtain less than what you expect is a BOOOO!, equal is an OK!, and more is a WOW!!!!!.

So the final "grade" is relative to the consumer expectations. WOW brands must know it, and in consequence they must think as the most exigent client. So, if they can exceed that expectation they will always ensure WOW results across all their clients. Simple to state, very difficult to implement.

Surprising your consumers is a safe way to obtain WOW results. However brands must ensure to take care of its promises, disapointing consumers will generate three times of negative WOM than possitive (if results were good). Here you can find some examples, one for a negative experience and two for possitive ones.

Bad Experience: United Airlines


Good experience: Spaniar Airlines




Good experience: Coca Cola Vending Machine
