Question 2:

Torres (2014), as cited in Torres and Ronzoni (2018), suggests that customer delight is about positive emotions such as joy, thrill, and exhilaration.  Torres (2014) suggests that one way we can delight customers is by creating an event that arouses these positive emotions.  Further, Torres (2014) suggests that these emotions can be followed by an element of surprise or can be generated by an element of surprise.
