Wealth in the U.S. is growing. Affluent consumers have more cash post-recession and are ready to make investments. Whether in fashion, jewelry, auto, real estate – it’s not about the statement, but all about the sentiment. It’s about how that brand or product makes them feel. The aspirational consumer still exists but, it is the traditional luxury consumer who will build a long term relationship and be a brand ambassador.
I had the pleasure of hosting a webinar today, Engaging The Re-Emerging Affluent Consumer, with Steve Kraus, SVP, Chief Insights Officer at Ipsos and Ginette Wright, VP of Luxury Marketing at NRT.
From the Ipsos Affluent Survey, Steve shared the latest data showing that Affluent optimism about the economy is nearly at a 4-year high, and is particularly strong among sub-segments such as Affluent Millennials, Affluent Men, and Ultra Affluents ($250k+ HHI). As a result, he finds that Affluents are “rising up the hierarchy of needs,” and spending more in highly-discretionary areas such as travel, leisure, experiences and luxury. Looking ahead, Affluents are expecting a better year in 2015, both personally and economically, and this optimism is shaping their willingness to spend, as well as their desire to be more aggressive with investments than last year.
Representing a leading luxury real estate company, Ginette also shared that there is a greater strength of the top 1% in the U.S. market. There’s so much growth that there is sometimes a lack of inventory. And who’s driving the buying? No surprise …the Millennials. They have a stronger interest in buying and, on average, spend more. But the fact they buy much differently than the traditional needs to be considered.
The economy affects behavior, demographics dominate buying trends, and the increased challenge of finding the right people, at the right time, in the right channel continues to press hard on luxury marketers.
We all hear a lot of buzz about data-driven marketing, but how a company embraces it is going to dictate how it is going to thrive. Data is data. It’s only when data is aggregated, analyzed, and turned into insights, that it will drive value to your customers and add to your bottom line.
And it’s not managed by one person or one department. It now requires a company effort and corporate alignment to effectively manage a data driven strategy
It’s time to evolve. Things to consider:
And finally, a motto to live (or work) by… Marketing is what you say. Value is what you do.
Creativity, witty messaging, special promotions can only get you so far…it’s only when you speak to the heart (mindset, passions, and values of your customers) and deliver customized products and authentic experiences, that you deliver value and gain brand loyalty.
So, in the name of love, what’s your strategy?

Regardless of wealth, we all buckled down during the recent recession. But the economy has rebounded and there is endless opportunity for luxury marketers. There’s one caveat. Luxury marketers must be strategic in their approach and most of all, truly focus on the consumer. The era of the aspirational consumer is gone. Now, luxury consumers demand your full attention and welcome personalization and customization.
At yesterday’s Luxury Daily Luxury Insights Summit, we all walked away with a wealth of knowledge (no pun intended). Cara David, managing partner of YouGov, presented some key findings from the Survey of Affluence & Wealth (YouGov/TimeInc). The key themes included:
So, what’s the next big thing in luxury marketing? Reciprocity. By reciprocating with consumers, marketers are personalizing their experience and empowering the consumer to customize as well. Nearly 60% will consider a brand when messaging, websites, and apps are tailored to them.
Quoting Cara, “Luxury is a necessity but brands are not.” Whether in denial or not, brand loyalty is dropping, as luxury consumers have become brand immune. That’s why targeting your audience, using insights to best understand them, and tailoring your outreach is critical. Make it your business to get personal.
Are you finding that personalized messaging is helping you to gain a larger share of the market?
There are currently almost 15 million millionaires in the United States. There’s an expected 10 million new luxury consumers each year. You do the math. There’s a vast audience of potential customers but not everyone has the same capacity and affinity to buy your products and services. That’s the hard part. Best of breed luxury marketers learn about their current customers and build a look-alike target audiences.

In a recent TravelWeekly article, Emmanuel Perrin, CEO of Cartier North America, was the first to say it: “Client care is the final frontier…You can’t go wrong investing in client experience… What is good for the client is good for the retailer and is good for us.” Today’s luxury buyer might not be so easily seduced, at least not by brands. Jim Taylor, vice chairman of the research firm YouGov, presented the findings of the Survey of Affluence and Wealth, conducted in partnership with Time Inc. And those findings were mixed at best for the audience of luxury CEOs and marketing executives from the fashion, automotive, jewelry, beverage, retailing and travel industries.
The world of luxury continues to evolve. Luxury consumers have shifted their mindset …and their wallet. We experienced the shift from a community where Affluents wanted to be noticed to more of a sense of community where value and personal worth takes precedent. As noted in A Tale of Two Markets: A Global Perspective on Affluents and the Business Elite, the mid-2000s boom was marked by a shared sense of what luxury meant – the imagery of yachts, private jets, and classic (if sometimes ostentatious) brands was pervasive.
In the education sector, a high performing organization is one that, on average, raises substantially more money per full-time student than its peers. So, what is it about these high performing organizations that enables them to have such effective fundraising programs? It all starts with their investment in data, analytics and research. High performing organizations (HPOs) tend have a higher number of prospect research staff (roughly twice as many) and spend more on data and analytics tools and services than do their peers (roughly twice as much). In particular, high performing organizations use predictive modeling much more often than do their peers.
