The years to come are going to be a turning point for luxury brands. After many years of rapid growth, they are now facing a slowdown in their progression. The increased casualization of consumers’ expectations, the rise of discounts, the development of online purchase and the revitalization of local consumption are only some of the visible trends…
To face the challenge of these changing times, the luxury industry is questioning its marketing models. Where does “prestige” stop and where does “luxury” start? What makes a genuine luxury product? Does the digital era mean more creativity for the marketing of the luxury industry? Should creativity support innovation, adaptation or tradition? What are the key success factors of luxury brands? Where are the new markets? Where are the touch points in the Chinese market? What is the future for department stores? How far can digital tools support a renewed relationship with customers? What is the objective of a luxury brand community strategy? Is e-commerce an opportunity or a threat?
