Do you know your customers? No, do you really know your customers? As a luxury provider, you may not know them as well as they know you. You’re used to delivering a personal experience to customers you’ve won over, but the only way to attract new customers is to really understand what makes them tick. And that means creating “social currency” with them.
Simply said, social currency is the stuff we talk about with our friends, colleagues, and family. In a marketing context, it concerns the extent to which we share a brand or information about a brand with others in our everyday social lives at work, home, or in virtual social networks.
One of the biggest challenges facing luxury marketers today is how to take social media beyond just another communications channel, and use it to drive bottom line results. Social currency provides the answer. By creating social currency — that person-to-person buzz — marketers can support their objectives of:
Marketers can successfully drive the conversation and create more social currency by learning more about their customers and speaking directly to them. With big data, data analytics and strategic social media initiatives, marketers can now know more about their customers than ever before, and personalize communications to an extent never before possible. From purchase behavior to demographics to life style affinities, marketers can not only personalize the dialogue, they can also deliver the message in the channel that will get the best response.
As a luxury marketing professional, it is extremely important to understand the mindset of wealthy consumers, and that not all wealthy consumers are alike. You must take into consideration both the demographic and psychographic profile of your clients. Most importantly, you must go beyond judgment into a deeper understanding of what makes your target audience tick.
The better you understand about what matters most to your customers and the better you can speak directly to those needs, the more social currency you will create. Social currency will deliver more brand awareness, brand relevance, and better customer experiences, which will drive bottom line business results and referrals.

This simple guide will show you how to understand your customers beyond their purchasing history and walks through the strategies that innovative luxury brands are using today to increase marketing and campaign effectiveness.
The luxury landscape is changing. Gone are the days where companies can get by simply with their brand names. Increased competition in the marketplace means that these companies need to compete for buyers and share of wallet. Today, we’ll explore 3 changing trends in the luxury market. Understand these, and you’ll stay a few steps ahead of your competition as top-of-mind with your potential buyers.
Trend 1: All Wealthy Are Not the Same
Who are your most likely customers? It’s a question that all businesses better have an answer to. In the past a company might answer this with a general answer, such as wealthy men in their 50’s. However, it’s become somewhat more nuanced than that now.
In order to maximize your sales and keep attracting prospects, you’ll have to realize that all wealthy prospects are not the same. “Affluent” and “wealthy” are no longer one category to lump all high net worth individuals into. You need to delve deeper into their habits and lifestyle to make an informed decision as to who is most likely to make a purchase. When targeting prospects and growing current customers, you need to build out targeted segments. This includes having the propensity to buy your luxury products, or wealth. But it also includes other characteristics that make them unique.
You have probably heard a lot lately about the role of analytics in building your marketing and development strategies. This applies to wealth intelligence, as well. In order to reach the most eligible clients, you need analytics to show you an accurate portrait of your customer: wealth, demographics, and lifestyle.
Trend 2: Online Marketing and Social Media Have Changed the Playing Field
What defines your customer? Chances are that they are telling you all about themselves on social media platforms – whether it’s pictures of their favorite styles on Instagram, stories about their vacations on Facebook, or complaining about poor service on Twitter. You just need to listen and communicate effectively back within those channels.
Successful online marketing is more than getting your message out there. Your current consumers use social media to share their “likes” and positive experiences, and to communicate these impressions to their peers and friends. Your online messaging needs to connect on an individual basis and engage your clients in a healthy dialogue. This messaging allows you a glimpse into your potential patrons’ lifestyles and online activities.
Using these online profiles and analytics allow you to understand potential wealth and patterns. These insights provide a range of data for you to build your strategy to target the right prospects more efficiently.
Trend 3: Customer Loyalty is Key
Who do your customers know? You already know that your most loyal customers create revenue you count on every year. But do you know how to grow your average customers into loyalists that will drive increased sales and referrals?
Customer loyalty comes from an understanding of your patrons’ behavior. Once you have built your current customer’s loyalty, you can leverage their profile data to create a targeted list of prospects that look just like your current ones through look-alike models. After all, if you had to define the perfect group of new customers, wouldn’t you want to find ones that look like your best current ones?
Looking at your loyal customer base also helps you to grow and build your clientele based on your current consumer’s referrals. We all listen to our friends’ and colleagues’ experiences; this information can make or break your company’s reputation. Make sure your value and brand are working for you and you capitalize on the word of mouth from your loyal customer base.
Focusing on these three trends within your marketing initiatives can help you bring your luxury brand into the modern world and blow away the competition. Remember, you have to fully understand your customers before you can know how to best talk to them.

Data-driven marketers need more and better data, but the landscape continues to evolve quickly. Third-party data providers change fast and Big Data is growing exponentially.
Consider a few facts:
Now, those are big numbers, but one of the biggest concerns is how companies are going to support and execute strategies with this data. Marketers and fundraisers can execute data driven strategies that can and will change the way they do business.
How?
By using data insights to understand, segment, and speak directly to their highest potential prospects and customers.
So, what type of data is critical? Demographic data, traditionally the king of data types, is diminishing in importance. Other types of data, including behavioral and psychographic data, enable marketers to understand, target, and engage audiences more effectively.
Gartner’s recent Market Guide for Marketing Data Providers acknowledges WealthEngine as a representative vendor for these marketing data offerings. It includes a list of data providers and how they can fit into an organization’s structure and strategy. [Market definition, market direction, market analysis, market recommendations].
In this report, Gartner recommends a simple approach to get started.
As marketers, you must ask yourselves…
We know that managing big data and gleaning the insights you need to really drive strategy is not easy, but it is now a mandate for most companies to sustain growth. Imagine what happens when you target the right people at the right time in the right channel. It leads to better engagement, higher conversion, and increased sales.
Now, that’s big!
