  • What's Next in Consumer Luxury Lifestyle
    Luxury Travel and Lifestyle Trends April 2009 RIDING OUT THE ROUGH SEAS: SOME NEW IDEAS FOR SUCCESS: It’s an undisputed fact that we are currently experiencing one of the grandest sea changes of this century – not only in the mindset of consumers, but also in the economic, social and cultural realities. Marketers and strategists take note: consumers are in the process of an identity shift, and this is a time to create new models and take advantage of new opportunities, which are there for the taking. The advent of neo-tribalism. What is this? Nationalism re-emerged back in the 20th Century, where each country trumpeted itself, and citizens saw themselves in patriotic terms. With the new millennium came globalization, the disappearance of borders, one world. Now, aided by the Internet, wireless technology, satellites and more recently, the breakdown of trust in governments and institutions (remember when “you can bank on it” meant a sure thing?), we are seeing the fragmentation of societies into smaller communities - neo-tribes. In turbulent times, we turn to the timeless comforts of family, friends and “villages”, but with a new twist. Our “tribal villages” are social communities, driven by personal and professional interests and passions. Such fragmentation may explain the phenomenon of Facebook, where 175 million users find people of precisely similar passions, persuasions, pursuits, and even past lives. No longer can we look to demographics as the holy grail of marketing, but rather, psychographics and behavior. It’s significant that a few weeks ago Google announced it will be selling ads based on consumer behavior, long a winning formula for Amazon.com.
