Customer experience (CX) is a totality of cognitive, affective, sensory, and behavioral consumer responses during all stages of the consumption process including pre-purchase, consumption, and post-purchase stages.

Nihat Tavşan and Can Erdem bring an extensive elucidation to the customer experience, encompassing the dimensions of consciousness, subjectivity, and interactional nature and define customer experience as the sum of subjective ideas regarding a product or service that occur at a conscious or subconscious level due to direct or indirect interaction of a customer with brand-related stimuli.

Pine and Gilmore described the experience economy as the next level after commodities, goods, and services with memorable events as the final business product.

Four realms of experience include esthetic, escapist, entertainment, and educational components.

Tavşan and Erdem divided the customer experience into four categories based on the levels of cognitive and physical involvement of customers.

These four categories are euphoric experiences, captive experiences, mellowing experiences, and conductive experiences.
