Full episode here 👉🏻    • Rory Sutherland Talks Marketing With Londo...  

Why do pubs, cafés, and restaurants spend fortunes chasing new customers… while ignoring the simple actions that create regulars for life?

Rory Sutherland and Oisín Rogers break down the real secret to hospitality success: discretionary acts of generosity. Not loyalty cards, not points — but moments of surprise, kindness, and attention that people cannot stop talking about.

From free pints to gifted coffee bags, these small gestures create powerful feedback loops, emotional loyalty, and word-of-mouth marketing no budget can buy. This is how you turn a stranger into a regular — and a regular into an evangelist.
