Making the decision to not participate means missing the opportunity to capitalize
on the nearly 2 billion people online internationally.

                                     THE RESOURCE IN DIGITAL MARKETING FOR FASHION AND LUXURY BRANDS
The fact that luxury products are both special and rare builds
desire and justifies price points. As a luxury brand, exclusivity
is integral as it maintains consumer desire. If luxury goods
were accessible to all, their worth would be compromised.




              THE RESOURCE IN DIGITAL MARKETING FOR FASHION AND LUXURY BRANDS
In today's saturated market place, luxury brands need to create a sense of
desire in order to remain exclusive.




Although contradictory to belief, the online space is the perfect arena to
build consumer desire. For luxury brands online, it is NOT about a wide
distribution of the actual product, but rather a distribution of the content to
evoke desire. 




                                    ooh la la...

This desire validates both existing customers and creates aspirational
consumers, ultimately strengthening the brand long-term.

For luxury marketers, approaching the
digital platform in a way that enhances the
brand and garners an impact is all about
shifting the perspective:
Rather than create one marketing strategy
to be applied across all platforms and
audience segments, instead customize
communications for specific audiences
and their unique needs within the brand
identity.

Knowing that the baseline digital marketing position is about validation
and aspiration, and that there are dual audiences (existing customers
and aspirational consumers), the marketing strategies can be crafted
accordingly.

For luxury brands, it’s all about:



                 1. Facilitating the distribution                                     of
                 brand content, not inhibiting it.

           resonate with the actual customer and provide a
           justification in their choosing your brand.
