Are You Experienced?

But if it wasn’t enough for brick-and-mortar businesses to keep up with internet purchasing, now they are fending with consumers choosing experiences (i.e., anything that Amazon Prime can’t ship you) ahead of “stuff.” People are hungrier than ever for things that don’t come packed in Styrofoam.
