A recent survey reveals that Gen Z luxury consumers prioritize experiences over products. The survey of over 1,500 U.S. adults highlights a shift in luxury perception, with style being the most common entry point into luxury, followed by food, wine, beauty, and travel. Gen Z, in particular, values self-expression and how luxury experiences make them feel, rather than the cost of the items. This trend indicates that the luxury market is becoming more inclusive and accessible, with younger and more diverse consumers reshaping the definition of luxury. For Gen Z, luxury purchases are often driven by self-narration and personal milestones rather than status symbols. The emphasis on experiences, unboxing moments, and showcasing accomplishments suggests that luxury brands need to rethink their marketing strategies to connect with this demographic effectively. As the luxury landscape evolves, how can brands adapt their marketing and customer service to meet the experiential expectations of Gen Z consumers? #lxuury #shopping #retail #genz

TL;DR: Gen Z luxury consumers prioritize experience over product, redefining the essence of luxury. Gen Z Values Experience Over Product : Today’s luxury market, especially among Gen Z, is evolving. A recent survey by Dotdash Meredith and Ipsos reveals that Gen Z is more interested in the experience of luxury shopping than the product itself. Style is the most common entry point into luxury, followed by food and wine, beauty, and travel. For Gen Z, luxury is less about material possessions and more about self-expression and the overall experience. This shift indicates that companies need to rethink their marketing strategies to cater to this demographic's preferences. What Youth Brands Need to Know: Gen Z defines luxury through experiences and feelings rather than cost. Brands must focus on creating memorable, feel-good experiences and engaging customer service to connect with this generation. Key Takeaway: Prioritize creating immersive and personalized experiences over focusing solely on the product's price tag to attract Gen Z consumers. #LuxuryExperience #GenZMarketing #FutureOfLuxury 💎✨👟

I have spoken to a good few technology, digital and transformation leaders from across the luxury retail sector in the past weeks. The message has been the same across the board - change is needed to keep the business in the position it's currently in, and definitely needed if they are to experience growth. I saw a great piece by Pamela Danziger this morning, titled 'Luxury Is Losing It's Lusture As American Affluents Priorities Shift'. The global luxury market grew 4% to $403bn in 2023, but in 2024 the market shrunk by between 1% and 3% - as per Bain & Company's report. The mood across affluent American's suggests that they are prioritising savings and investments over luxury spending, and a larger percentage of affluents planned to spend less than those who planned to spend more on luxury shopping. Shoppers are becoming increasingly discerning about the products and brands they spend on. There is also a lot to be said around how these affluents are viewing their purchases and their impact on the wider world. It's no longer enough for luxury brands to be pushing scarcely available, unique, exclusive pieces. The creative side of these businesses is obviously still absolutely crucial. However, luxury brands are pivoting away from just marketing their premium products. They're becoming, and rightly so, far more focussed on delivering products, experiences and services that align with the wants, needs and expectations of today's, and tomorrow's, customers. Do you think these brands are over-emphasising the creative element to their business and products? Can they be taking a leaf from different markets across retail in order to appeal to the many, rather than a lessening few? Interested to get your take... #luxury #retail

This trend, coupled with a shrinking customer base and selective spending, signals an inflection point for brands. Key growth areas include experiential goods, small indulgences, and the secondhand market, while challenges persist in personal luxury goods.

Not every business with high prices and exceptional quality fits into the luxury category. The sooner we recognize this, the sooner we can prevent the overuse and dilution of the term "luxury." The Premium category deserves equal recognition for its unique value proposition, which stands as a vital segment on its own. Here’s why the Premium category is so significant: 🔹 Excellence and Accessibility: Premium products and services are meticulously crafted to deliver outstanding quality and performance. They offer a level of refinement and attention to detail that surpasses the ordinary, yet they remain accessible to a broader audience compared to luxury items. 🔹 Innovative and Reliable: The Premium category is synonymous with innovation. Brands in this space are constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, integrating cutting-edge technology and design to meet the evolving needs of discerning consumers. Reliability and trust are at the core of the Premium experience. 🔹 Value-Driven: Premium doesn't just mean higher prices; it signifies a commitment to providing exceptional value. Consumers choosing Premium products are making informed decisions, seeking superior quality, durability, and a better overall experience. This segment thrives on delivering more for its customers, ensuring they feel their investment is worthwhile. 🔹 Diverse Appeal: While luxury often caters to an exclusive clientele, Premium brands appeal to a diverse range of consumers. They attract those who seek top-tier quality without the need for the exclusivity that luxury implies. This inclusivity broadens their market reach and fosters brand loyalty across various demographics. It's time we give the Premium category the recognition it deserves. It's not a lesser version of luxury, but a distinct and vital segment that delivers exceptional value, innovation, and quality. Premium it's a category that enriches lives, enhances experiences, and drives the market forward with its commitment to superior value. Don’t get obsessed with calling yourself luxury if you are not. It’s a terrible strategy that will destroy your brand in the long run. #PremiumProducts #QualityExcellence #MarketDifferentiation #ValueDriven #Innovation #SustainableBusiness #BrandLoyalty #ConsumerExperience

In July, we saw the drastic results of luxury brands, with a huge shift of consumption away from the Chinese market, onto other regions, particularly Japan. While revenue generation has been the main focus, we often forget that clientelling plays a crucial role (together with product offering and brand management), on how to attract and retain luxury consumers. I recently wrote a piece on the client segmentation in China, and how they are impacted by travel, price arbitrage and levels of service at luxury brands. Thank you Aurelien Rigart and his incredible team at IT Consultis for editting and compiling this article. #china #luxury #chineseluxuryconsumers #LVMH #Kering #Richmont
