The quest for experience has put ambiance in the front burner of excellent service delivery in the world. People tend to pay for experience and not for service any longer. A friend of mine would always want to buy from a particular place in Abuja, while I would opt for a different place within the city. I eventually summoned the courage and asked why he wouldn’t trade-off the place for another, and he suggested I followed him to see for myself how irresistible the place was. I eventually visited the place and my agreement with this saying, ‘do not judge a book by its cover’, was altered. It made me realise that they’re some books, buildings, event places, that invite you in simply by their appearance. Their exterior will have you longing to go inside of the building to experience the interior, and this is why we will all want to visit a place for the first time.
