Many years ago, my daughter and I were in our basement, and she found an old typewriter. She looked at it with amazement and asked, “Dad, what’s this?” I explained it was what we used before computers and keyboards were invented. We would type letters and thank-you notes on a piece of paper, without spell-check. She asked if she could play with it. It kept her busy for days.

What creates truly “stand out” brands is an exceptional experience, where customer effort is low, and surprise and delight are high. This means no hurdles to jump through. A consistent experience no matter how or where they interact with a brand.
