Questions for discussion:

  1. The concept of the haunted house has been around for decades. What role do creativity and innovation have for keeping customers coming back?
  2. Experienced-based businesses are services (i.e., there is no tangible product that the customer takes home). What type of service technology is utilized by a haunted house like that at Universal Studios?
  3. Based on your reading of the article, how well do haunted houses satisfy the basic demands of customer relationship management?
