  • Marketing Western Luxury Retail Brands in the Middle East
    Marketing Western Luxury Retail Brands In The Middle East HONOR’S CAPSTONE WRITTEN BY: JUDY DAGHESTANI [email protected] Advisor: Richard Linowes Kogod School of Business: Management University Honors in Business, Spring 2013 1 After moving from California to Dubai in high school and then back to Washington D.C. for college I have had the chance to observe both American and Middle Eastern consumer cultures. Through my own observations as well as academic research, I come to believe in general that the Middle Eastern consumer is open to enjoying foreign luxury fashion brands. For an international brand to be successful in the Middle East however, it needs to appeal to the local culture and take into consideration the local religion and values for advertising purposes. Successful brands realize that fostering a global image while pleasing the Middle Eastern local customers is important. For the purposes of this paper, the term Western includes Europe as well as the North American region. Furthermore, the term Middle East is considered a broad term that can be debatable. The Middle East is considered as Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen. 1 The term Luxury brands are defined as “goods that the mere use or display of a particular branded product brings the owner prestige apart from any functional utility.” 2 Middle Eastern countries are targeted by multinational luxury brand fashion companies; as so, this market is very lucrative for firms to emerge.3 The Middle East is attractive to luxury international brands despite the possibilities of political uncertainties 1 Glynis Jones.
