Marketing And The ‘Madness’ Of Luxury Goods
By Kevin Francis on Nov 17, 2009 in Marketing
Good article in “The Economist” titled…
It’s all about a Swiss marketer called Jean-Claude Biver who has an impressive record of success in marketing high end watches.
Couple of points to note…
1. What he’s really selling is exclusivity and cachet. It’s not really about the watches.
2. Note a great example of differentiation with the Blancpain brand and making a virtue out of what was seen as a problem.
You may not be selling $100,000 watches but there are great lessons here for any marketer. The key question…
“What are you really selling?”
