  • Exploiting the Mass-Market Vs Refocusing on the High-End Segment
    Emerging Competitive Strategies in the Luxury Sector: Exploiting * the Mass-Market vs Refocusing on the High-End Segment Enrica Pavione University of Insubria, Department of Economics Via Monte Generoso 71, 21100 Varese (Italy) email: [email protected] Roberta Pezzetti University of Insubria, Department of Economics Via Monte Generoso 71, 21100 Varese (Italy) email: [email protected] Abstract The distinctive characteristics of European luxury firms - excellence in quality, brand exclusivity, rarity and craftsmanship of products- combined with their global vocation have allowed the luxury industry of achieving worldwide a leadership position in all market segments. The growth in demand for branded products, driven by both the dynamics of spending in emerging economies and the sustained growth of the HNWI segment, along with the increased democratization of luxury carry two main effects. On the one hand, an expansion of the market, with a positive impact on financial performance of firms; on the other, the increasing over-exposure of brands, with negative impact on the perception of exclusivity both of the products and the brand’s image. In this framework, the paper analyses emerging competitive strategies in the European luxury sector, which are not necessarily mutually exclusive: leveraging the opportunities offered by the mass-market demand through an integration of the retail channels versus the re-focusing of the brand on the high-end segment to strengthening the perception of exclusiveness and rarity of the product as well as the aspirational value associated with the brand prestige. The limits of the paper are connected to the absence of case studies to reinforce the analysis of emerging competitive strategies of luxury firms.

  • Redefining the Meaning of Luxury Goods: a Conceptual Paper
    Redefining the Meaning of Luxury Goods: A Conceptual Paper Name of student: Rumina Akther Programme: BA (Hons): Marketing Year of Study: 3 Mentored by: Dr Jon Wilson Abstract This paper discusses the concept of luxury brands and the possible drivers for the increasing level of high consumption of such goods. Factors such as availability of counterfeits, psychological need and emergence of new media are closely scrutinised. A critical analysis of the concept particularly regarding how it has evolved over the years help branding strategists and marketers understand how the perceptions of luxury brand has been shaped in the mind of consumers. Finally, this paper analyses future implications that this change may have on marketing and branding strategies. Key words: Luxury, Luxury branding, Affordable Luxury, Country of Origin, Conspicuous Consumption 1 Introduction The concept of ‘luxury’ has become more ambiguous due to the increased accessibility of ‘luxury’ products in the recent years. This change has led to new perspectives of what a luxury item actually is. The definition of what ‘luxury’ can vary according to a person or situation, making it difficult to provide a universal definition. According to Brun & Castelli (2013), historically luxury goods were always linked with wealth, exclusivity and power, as well as the satisfaction of non-basic necessities. Luxury is defined as ‘a state of great comfort or elegance, especially when involving great expense’ (Oxford Dictionary, 2014). Both definitions demonstrate a significant part that price plays suggesting that something of luxury comes at a ‘great expense’. Wiedmann, et al. (2007) argues that by definition luxury goods are something that is not affordable or possessed by everyone.

  • What's Powering China's Market for Luxury Goods?
    What’s Powering China’s Market for Luxury Goods? Sales are growing at a healthy 20% rate, but not all brands are celebrating. This report was authored by Bruno Lannes, a Bain & Company partner based in Shanghai and a member of the firm’s Retail and Consumer Products practices. Copyright © 2019 Bain & Company, Inc. All rights reserved. What’s Powering China’s Market for Luxury Goods? At a Glance It was the second year in a row of 20% growth for luxury goods in China. Brands benefited from repatriated purchases, a focus on millennials, increased digitalization and China’s expanding middle class. Although growth was robust overall, some companies outperformed with growth rates in excess of 25%, while others lagged with less than 10% growth. The winners’ strategies offer clear lessons for the future. China’s luxury goods market is humming along nicely, with a second straight year of 20% growth in 2018 (see Figure 1). Think of it as a powerful machine running on four engines operating in perfect alignment. More than 70% of millennials have a positive financial outlook; 81% of them expect their income to increase. Engine 1: Repatriation The Chinese government’s reduction in import duties and stricter controls over gray markets— combined with brands’ efforts to narrow the price gap with overseas markets—have led more Chi- nese consumers to make their luxury purchases in China, instead of traveling to previous bargain locales such as Hong Kong, Seoul, Tokyo and cities in Europe. Chinese consumers made 27% of their luxury purchases in China in 2018, up from 23% in 2015, and we anticipate that this share will increase to 50% by 2025 (see Figure 2).

Hermès has remained a American consumers family business for generations and has successfully avoided recent acquisition women’s accessories attempts by luxury group LVMH. Almost half of the luxury firm’s revenue ($1.5bn status consumption in 2012) is derived from the sale of its leather goods and saddlery, which includes its aspirational brands handbags. A large contributor to sales is global demand for one of its leather acces- sories, the Birkin bag, ranging in price from $10,000 to $250,000. Increased demand for the bag in the United States since 2002 resulted in an extensive customer waitlist lasting from months to a few years. Hermès retired the famed waitlist (sometimes called the ‘dream list’) in the United States in 2010, and while the waitlist has been removed, demand for the Birkin bag has not diminished and making the bag available to luxury consumers requires extensive, careful distribution management.

    Signaling Status with Luxury Goods: The Role of Brand Prominence Young Jee Han Joseph C. Nunes Xavier Drèze Forthcoming in Journal of Marketing July 2010 Young Jee Han is a Ph.D. student at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0443.

We are indebted to Vincent Bastien, former CEO of Louis Vuitton, for the time he has spent with us critiquing our framework. 1 ABSTRACT This research introduces brand prominence, a construct reflecting the conspicuousness of a brand’s mark or logo on a product. We propose a taxonomy that assigns consumers to one of four groups based on wealth and need for status, and demonstrate how each group’s preference for conspicuously or inconspicuously branded luxury goods corresponds predictably with their desire to associate or dissociate with members of their own and other groups. Wealthy consumers low in need for status wish to associate with their own kind and pay a premium for quiet goods only they can recognize.

  • Luxury As an Indicator of the Country's Economic
    Natalia Bykova Chernivtsi Trade and Economics Institute of KNTEU LUXURY AS AN INDICATOR OF THE COUNTRY’S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Introduction In today’s conditions every country of the world strives for improving the welfare of its population. One of the factors determining the welfare of people is their ability to purchase luxury goods. In recent years, with the intensification of crisis in the most countries of the world, the welfare of people is expected to deteriorate. But, according to the ex- pert’s prognosis, in 2012 the world market of luxury goods and services is expected to reach 1,5 trillion US dollars, which is associated with the growth of the middle class in China1. Though, such situation is not typical of the economic situation in most European countries at the present time. But, it is well known since ancient times that during the crisis developing countries become powerful. Therefore, we became interested in the investigation of luxury as on indicator of the country’s economic development on the example of two countries – Ukraine and Poland. The object of our investigation is to determine the state of people’s welfare in Ukraine and Poland as an indicator of the country’s economic development due to their ability to purchase luxury goods. 1.

  • The Social Foundation of Luxury Good Obsession in South Korea Master's
    The Social Foundation of Luxury Good Obsession in South Korea Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Global Studies Chandler Rosenberger, Advisor In partial Fulfillment Of the Requirement for Master’s degree By Youngseok Kim February 2011 Copyright by Youngseok Kim February 2011 Acknowledgement I would like to show my gratitude to the thesis advisor, Chandler Rosenberger, whose continuous encouragements and considerations kept me pursuing the research and achieving a deeper comprehension of the topic. I also would like to thank all people who have believed in and supported me during this year. Without their help, I could not have continued the study. ABSTRACT Luxury Commodity and Social Impact on South Korea A thesis presented to the Department of Global Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Youngseok Kim Many young people in Korea are addicted to luxury brands. This phenomenon often ruins their lives. By examining the causes of social, historical, and economical luxury obsession, the research aims to get a better understanding of people’s behavior. Severance of nobility culture in Korean history led to wealthy people’s indiscreet imitation of western culture. Without traditional and cultural heritage, Korea’s wealthy people only seek material display. In addition, various Korean traits such as social hierarchy, western-centrism, egalitarianism, narcissism, collectivism, competition, and love of authenticity account for the obsession trend. The introduction of credit cards and the nature of the luxury brand will also explain the love of luxury in Korea. Furthermore, the paper attempts to compare different generations and both groups’ attitudes to luxury commodity.
