74% of Americans prioritize experiences over products or things. Nationally, it’s estimated that consumers are spending $160 to $180 billion annually on experiences. Welcome to the Experience Economy; an economy in which many goods or services are sold by emphasizing the effect they can have on people’s lives. Are you prepared to take advantage of this market opportunity?

Downtown Colorado, Inc. invites businesses and potential entrepreneurs to think through the questions and activities on this site to share ideas and learn about other people's creative ideas. This process will help identify creative ways that San Luis Valley entrepreneurs can engage, collaborate, and create experiences that go beyond products and services. Participating will help you think through creative ways to expand your ideas and collaboration as a business owner, or as someone who may want to try out a business idea.

The first round of responses will be used (confidentially - without sharing any names or contact of who completed the form) for an event on January 19, 2021 where we will work with San Luis Valley businesses to build creative collaborative experiences.

The process will be #1 fun AND #2 part of a larger San Luis Valley initiative to support social entrepreneurship. If you complete the survey, we will include you in future conversations for entrepreneurs and share opportunities that you might be interested in as an entrepreneur. You may also have an opportunity to be a part of a package on the Farm to Spaceship site that helps entrepreneurs package and sell products and services.
