Find your toilet wow!

I know it’s a really weird title for a blog post but bear with me, it will all make sense when you start reading.

Ok so I will come clean: I can be a bit of a princess now and again. Heard of the Princess and the Pea story? For me, it’s more like the princess and the downright dirty story. If I walk into any business, big or small, value or high end, my little dirt detection antennas fire up, and boy don’t even get me started on public bathrooms.

So imagine my shock, immediately followed by delight, when I arrived at our campsite this summer to find the shower and toilet block looking like it has just been photographed for the cover of Better Homes & Gardens. I’ve stayed in 5 star hotels who don’t have bathrooms as nice as this! Don’t believe me? Take a look yourself…

I know right! Wow! On a campsite…again Wow!

What could the camp site owners have been thinking? I mean it’s the norm to not have high expectations when it comes to camping showers. That’s the stereotypical image we have of campsites.

That, my lovely folks, is exactly the point. Knowing what your industry stereotypes are, both good and bad and making sure you are delivering on the good perceptions and turn a negative perception into amazing opportunities for innovation. In this story’s case it was toilets wowing people with luxury that is simply not the norm. Does this make that business stand out? Eh, yes! By taking a negative perception of their industry and turning it into a positive they surpassed their customers’ expectations and in turn created that Wow! factor.

Am I going to forget that Wow….nope. Will I tell others about it? Absolutely! In fact, here’s the camp site details - Camping Trans-Canadien de Rigaud, Quebec, Canada
