The Business Of Pleasure Podcast: Shopping Cart Dropout
The Business Of Pleasure Podcast: Shopping Cart Dropout
The term ‘The Business of Pleasure’ tends to suggest a divide between the work that goes into generating pleasurable experiences for our audiences, and the task of generating optimal revenue from the value created by those pleasurable experiences. For most of us in The Business of Pleasure, both aspects are of equal importance. They are the cart and the horse that make the whole journey both possible and profitable.

The Business of Pleasure Podcast Trailer
The only cross-sector forum dedicated to exploring (and exploiting) the shared borders between Entertainment, The Arts, Culture and Leisure.
The pursuit of pleasure is a common thread that ties us to our earliest ancestors and to the last generation of our descendants.
Worldwide, The Business of Pleasure, with its component parts of Entertainment, Culture and Tourism, employs billions professionals and brings in trillions of pounds in revenue every year.
And whilst there are huge differences between, say, a gig or a hit song and your team scoring a goal (in the Cup Final!) or maybe between a Henry Moore, a movie or musical, and a cable-car-ride through The Dolomites (at dawn) there are common threads uniting the experiences as, and when, we experience them.
Everyone involved in The Business of Pleasure is, to a lesser or greater extent, involved in experiments on a daily basis.
We create products (experiences) and anticipate responses (satisfaction).
The purpose of these pieces, and their accompanying podcasts, is to try and get a slightly better overview of the subject by considering some of the common threads; the shared components, architectures and challenges.
