U.S. to buy luxury goods can only be limited

Posted in News on February 25th, 2010 by mysite – Be the first to comment

When the United States to China as the next largest market for luxury goods and began large-scale invasion to the Chinese market, in their own country has limited sales of luxury goods firms now, this is why?

For the Wii game console and the United States, such as Super Bowl tickets and other commodities in short supply, the business limits the number of purchases per person seems to be reasonable in the circumstances.

However, SAKS Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman luxury department stores such as browsing websites, you may be surprised to find that, and now even the boutique handbag also began limited sales.

Price 1290 U.S. dollars in Prada’s latest decorative pleated nylon bag, priced at 1490 U.S. dollars in BottegaVeneta signature woven leather and the value of 1395 U.S. dollars of St. Laurent’s new rectangular bag — they are the big shopping malls in the United States, have become limited for sale merchandise.

Consumers before the purchase of such goods will be more or less aware of: “As best-selling merchandise too, so every customer in every 30-day period can not be purchased three of these fine handbags.”

Limited sales of anti-speculation purposes

On the surface, these restraints seem to be very strange, because it wants to each ordinary business of goods sold is contrary to the wishes. But in fact, this, which also implies a deeper reason for that is that they worried that the weak U.S. dollar to foreign buyers took the opportunity to buy a lot of cases, handbags, and then resold in Europe or Asia, because Juan with a Pra da and the Gucci handbag store prices in the United States than in Asia and Europe region, 20% -40% lower price. Any SAKS Fifth Avenue and NeimanMarcus best-selling handbag department stores to buy YvesSaintLaurent people could only buy a maximum of three bags, each priced at 1495 U.S. dollars, while in London HarveyNichols, the same price of a packet is only 910 pounds (about 1796 U.S. dollars).

In addition to limiting the number of online sales, SAKS may also limit each customer to purchase the same store each time the number of commodities.

It is learned, and now SAKS Fifth Avenue, NeimanMarcus and BergdorfGoodman restrictions such as department stores sold the policy is limited to affixed labels Prada and Gucci handbags and shoes, while others, such as Dior or Givenchy’s luxury brands for fashion giant LVMH all. Although LVMH only in its own web site www.eLuxu Juan ry.com sell LV handbags, but its policy of more stringent restrictions on sale, each customer can only buy two per year with the handbag section.

While these brands did not specify the reasons for the policy introduced these restrictions, but the relevant persons in private that this is reselling them in order to prevent the bag being drawn up strategies.

The United States has become a major gold mine

In 2000 and 2001, when the blowout sales of luxury buyers in Paris, Gucci, Hermès and Vuitton shops lined the streets outside the queue. Policy of limiting the sale of these merchants has also been criticism from some people, because it appears to be mainly aimed at Asian shoppers, and promulgated. Some Asian customers complained that they were turned away outside the Vuitton store, so they often stay in Paris near the Champs-Elysees Avenue, employing Western tourists who come for them to buy handbags.

Let some retail analysts is surprising is that even the concept of limit sell so quickly spread to the United States, while the limit of goods sold is also no longer limited to the purse, because Apple now has limitations, it is time for each customer only need to buy 5 sets iPhone.

MarkMonitor is a San Francisco institution dedicated to brand protection, and its sales person in charge FredFelman that those who purchase multiple items for home and sell it to a friend in the black market for foreign tourists is only a very small part. When the sales of luxury goods in Asia and throughout the professional procurement network formation or luxury goods have been placed in, such as eBay and other online retailers, when this is a real big problem.

Last month, an independent retail consultant PatriciaPao from Los Angeles arrived at Newark airport, there is a young woman approached her and asked her to help sat in the box above the box and let it taut. The woman was to return to Slovenia, the box seems to be 200 years of brand jeans, the cheapest price on a pair of jeans brand have shown to be 228 U.S. dollars.

Ms. Pao said: “That woman said that in his country to sell these jeans will not only cover their travel costs, but also let her make money. The weak dollar makes the country seem to have become one of the largest gold mine. ”

Selling is not necessarily limited to how well

Due to the control of all marketing aspects is very difficult, so some people think, as an indicator of whether or not demand the black market is actually good for the business channels to provide capital.

LandorAssociates San Francisco, a branding agency, its executive director SusanNelson said: “iPods have a sales culverts leading to the European market, its existence has not caused damage to the brand, I think this is also allowed to cast a layer of mystery. ”

Of course, taking into account the buyer or can be more than one credit card, multi-store purchase of a variety of ways to buy a certain amount of fine handbags, limited to selling may not be the most effective solution, but the European luxury goods in the United States to improve the selling price (Many companies have become so action) but will give the U.S. an opportunity to luxury competitors.

Pathological consumption of luxury goods do you have?

Posted in News on February 22nd, 2010 by mysite – Be the first to comment

Big propaganda everywhere large, may I ask: Who can resist the temptation of luxury goods?

Nanjing University, Professor Du Jun-fei has analyzed the world’s luxury goods consumption, the average is about 4% of their wealth to buy, while in China, with the proportion of 40% or more to “seek hardship” situation is not uncommon, this is irrational consumption performance.

This year Chinese New Year, peerless (a pseudonym) a Trustee from France back to the classic LV bag, excited. Carrying a new purse to go to work, unparalleled became cautious, one to the office on the bag with the bag packed for fear of dirty. Encounter rain, prefer to get wet, do not let rain hit the bag. One day, unparalleled since the wet and fell a “four-footed overturned” When her husband asked with concern “people have it?”, The peerless but angrily said: “People have what ah, of course, bear bag ah! ”

To finish the sentence, unparalleled consciously a little “possessed by the devil”, can not help laughing at himself: “I am Eurya not an LV, but a bomb!”

Nanjing University, Professor Du Jun-fei has analyzed the world’s luxury goods consumption, the average is about 4% of their wealth to buy, while in China, with the proportion of 40% or more to “seek hardship” situation is not uncommon, this is irrational consumption performance.

Seventh People’s Hospital of Hangzhou, the psychological practitioner Mao Hong Jing said the consequences of irrational consumption, it could lead to the use of luxury when the irrational state of development of such an irrational result is sick later.

If you are a big fan of the letter, you ask yourself whether the loudly: I am sick consumption of luxury goods do?

1, luxury consumption, relative to all sentient beings

Lisa is a school’s administrative staff, middle-income levels. Lisa is very good impression of luxury goods, but can not be called obsession. Every one or two years, Lisa would come up with a shopping Fund “, to the mall to buy a long-admired luxury, or the classic LV bag, or a charming sun glasses, rewarded their hard work .

And Lisa, compared Ms Yip seems to be not so sensible of. Since three years ago, after the first step towards luxury goods, her passion for luxury goods out of control, almost every year to buy one or two big-name products, now, the luxury home has been an accumulation of three or four bags, but the Every time has its own favorite style listing, Ms Yip still could not keep spending. Although luxury shoppers spend each year is not low, but because income is not low, coupled with a planned financial management, Ms Yip still be able to able to save a reserve each year.

Tang Qi (a pseudonym) are not so lucky since become luxuries of “drug addicts”, she is often a result of living beyond their means because of impulsive spending, financial condition frequently raised the alarm.

Her monthly salary plus bonus less than 5,000 yuan, but frequently travel at various shopping malls to buy luxury goods, already have LV, GUCCI purse, BURBERRY scarf, Dior glasses and many other brands. Because the price of luxury goods are not low, Tang Qi like credit card shopping, often overdrawn. To buy a favorite brand of clothing, she had to reduce other expenses. Usually took the bus instead of a taxi as far as possible, the hotel is also gradually reduced the frequency of eating. “One time, After buying a lot of things that Cary owed money, and happens when there is a sudden need to accompany a friend from afar, when the money even dinners to take almost no, really very shameful. Then determined This no longer excessive overdraft, but each time into the mall, but not control himself, felt very contradictory. “Tang Qi said.

Big S on the claims that he is a “shoe fanatic”

2, pathological shoppers tend to often lack of confidence

In real life, the luxury brand market and enjoyed a special status in society. For luxury brands, its value is far greater than the intangible value of the.

For China’s luxury goods, a domestic professional financial media, there had been a classic description of – their monthly income of 2000-5000 yuan, however, but they will save in the second half of the wages in order to store to buy a LV of the package, and then carrying This package needed to get into the bus, walking to work.

Luxury consumption in the emerging population, can be roughly divided into three classes – rational consumption, and consumption and pathological obsession with consumption.

Seventh People’s Hospital of Hangzhou, the psychological practitioner Mao Hong Jing said that although the theory of demand for luxury goods are not necessities, but the wonderful things that everyone likes to buy luxury goods in fact beyond reproach, but the core conditions are two: First, look at luxury goods whether it exceeded the scope of its economy to withstand, then again from the use of point of view, whether the luxury goods using more than one degree.

White-collar girl A, middle-income, of an LV bag may take her two or three months salary bonus, but the girl to establish a healthy financial system would not only take on necessary expenses of life, there are also able to save the savings planned gold , to the end of the year, we found that left the hands of a liquidity and girls choose to buy a long-admired Treat yourself to luxury, this luxury consumption habits are rational consumption category.

White-collar girl B, middle-income, of an LV bag may take her two or three months salary bonuses, but she already has a certain degree of luxury dependence and fascination each year to buy a certain one or two big-ticket luxury items will feel satisfied. She bought a luxury credit cards through an overdraft, but the next few months, she will strictly control the other expenses, and punctual repayment. Despite the occasional smoke unexpected financial events (for example, rely on friends to defect) makes cash flow a little flawed there, but will soon be able to fill the vacancy expires on the financial. This overdraft to own a luxury bags at the habit of a little bit beyond the rational and areas to the fascination and consumption in line, but fortunately everything still is within the control.

White-collar girl C, middle-income, although a LV bag may take her for two or three months salary bonus, but each time she see your favorite style listing, will be unable to control their impulses. Although the card is Shuabao, assets is always negative level luxury home has piles of Lao Gao, but the girl is still carrying a “negative woman” of the title, the Emergency Unit in the major brand stores. Upon receipt of credit card bills, the girl will have a nervous anxiety, but the thought of having to curb their own consumption, desire, anxiety is doubled. In real life, such as C so sick of young people spending more and more alarming.

Provincial Mental Hospital, Tong-Doctoral Xu Fang said that, if found themselves unable to control their consumption of a reasonable desire to really look for the good cause. The formation of pathological consumption, there are a lot of psychology. Some people buy consumer products, more stress is placed on wealth and luxury displayed itself, and taste, in order to satisfy their own vanity is hugely magnified, so that the original intention can easily lead to their departure from rational consumption.

“British psychologist has said, there are pathological shopping tendencies, have no job security, low self-image issues. Such people often lack confidence in themselves, but requires a process to enhance the inherent qualities , while the dorsal extrinsic change in brand-name bags but can be achieved through immediate consumption, so they want to achieve by improving the appearance of an attractive purpose, so that the starting point itself, there is a gap, and if the external changes in spending over their own affordability, and give ourselves an additional burden, but also a pathological consumption. “city of seven hospital psychologist Mao Hong Jing said.

In addition, if the consumption of luxury goods away because of vanity, it may be appreciated by others, envious of great expectations, but once the real situation and is expected to generate the distance, consumers will form a psychological gap, if coupled with the economic the burden of prominent and easier to produce a series of emotional problems, such as mental imbalance, anxiety, irritable, depressed and so on.

Provincial Mental Hospital, Tong-Xu Fang Doctoral reminder, there is a class of ill-consumer groups should also be caused by self-concern, such people are often in the face of stress, “spending the money to pay for satisfaction.” “Even on weekdays there will be these young girls to consult, they are very bad mood when they shop through a large number of ways to vent that emotion management, and some people choose to eat too much a problem as a reason. But after venting the face of a piles of expensive, yet useless things, the mood will be even worse, therefore, when the pressure is too large, they should face up to their emotions, find family, friends, communication, face up to deal with stress, rather than the pathological consumption. “Xu Fang said.

3, luxury consumption, the amount should be less than 10% of total revenue

In fact, reasonable consumption of luxury goods is that people are expected to increase in wealth for their own an expression of optimism, bring them something more pleasant, is a good thing, but to know how to control degrees.

China Citic Bank (601998 market, shares bar) branch VIP Fengqi financial manager Ding Zhiyi said that in his reception of the customer base, there were indeed more and more people began to advocate to buy luxury goods. In other countries, likely to buy luxury goods are very wealthy class, but in the country, many middle-income young people began to join the ranks, and the obsession with the shopping process.

Ding Zhiyi said that from the financial point of view, for most people, a luxury not a necessity, but also expensive, so people are consuming such items, you must first ensure a stable source of income as a support, as a prerequisite for protection , and will consume the amount of control within reasonable limits, it should occupy a smaller proportion of total revenue to be considered as rational consumption.

Here are a few indicators can be used as consideration. Necessities of life expenses (defined as water gas, meals, lodging, overhead, etc.) the size of the proportion of total income. The lower the proportion of available space for luxury consumption, the greater the.

For example, A monthly income of 10,000 yuan, the monthly expenditure of 5,000 yuan necessities of life, B’s monthly income is the same for 10,000 yuan, but because their parents room and board at home, the monthly expenditure on necessities of life is only 3,000 yuan, then the luxury B consumer goods space is significantly higher than A.

Of course, in addition to the necessary living expenses, a healthy financial plan should also include a reasonable savings rate, Ding Zhiyi’s proposal is, the savings rate should reach about 40%, you can plan ahead and fully respond to future emergencies, is conducive to the healthy functioning of the family . “Therefore, it is recommended you to control the amount of luxury goods consumption less than 10% of household income, this is somewhat appropriate.” Ding Zhiyi said.

In addition to the amount of control, the spending habits was an expert referred to a key point. Ding Zhiyi said that the purchase of luxury goods, he does not recommend borrowing against future revenue can purchase. Because the overdraft in advance, after the event of unexpected financial problems can not be a smooth flow, it is likely to increase costs.

Experts give advice is: Before writing a shopping list of purposeful spending. A people not to stay too long at the mall, bought something on the list came out. Try not to pay the bill when the credit card. Discount during the period in the commodity must control their own emotions. Take part in more social activities and outdoor activities, contact with nature, people’s desire for material will become dull. Usually is not happy when the pressure as far as possible to family members or friends to talk, not to pressure is much excuse for a shopping spree and giving vent to emotions, over time will form pathological consumption habits.

Of course, the two psychological experts also mentioned that in the rational consumption of luxury goods, we should also upgrade their inherent decency and quality, if only just to satisfy the vanity away with a brand-name bags, it is such a phenomenon may occur : You take the top brands, but others have thought it was fake.

Olympic Games every four years in a fashion show

Posted in News on February 22nd, 2010 by mysite – Be the first to comment

Admission to the Australian team dress just happens to coincide with the 07 winter’s Prada

Australian Aboriginal patterns, French white newspaper CHILDREN CAP, the United States, “Gatsby-style” navy blue jacket, the traditional Chinese color … … the Olympic Games is perhaps the world’s largest fashion show, and they deserve an eye. But also because it paid attention to their body is no longer “natural” body.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games the most relaxed elegance, and secretly show the close relationship between sports and fashion, is Australia’s admission dress. Blue and white dominated the tone of the Sport, from dark blue slippers upward gradient, to silver-white baseball cap for the end of the texture gradient and space-induced fluorescence effect, coincided with the autumn and winter 2007 Milan Fashion Week in the Prada did not do the together. Of course, a wide belt this spring, is also popular in France saw the female athletes. If only the opening ceremony as a fashion show at the simple conclusion can be drawn, like “The New York Times” fashion commentator of the tasting: “Canada’s team of young people wearing short-sleeved jacket of coarse , carrying a satchel stuffed, like a group of salesmen “;” The Russian team’s shirt so that they like to spend a gorgeous cowboy team, but the stand also lost focus “;” African countries, athletes are the dyeing and color master ” ; “in Latin America were more adept at the use of hats in this element” … … but when the model is to demonstrate the interpretation of clothing the beauty of the body of athletes, their clothes more than just colors and styles that simple.

Francois Sura Day is the University of Paris VIII, and the National Institute of art history professor at the opening ceremony the day before the French Cultural Center, he conducted a seminar entitled “campaign of physical and media-oriented body” speech. The subject of this magical by the French speaking out, even more abstruse. Says, we can learn from economic, political, and moral point of view to analyze the Olympics, but very little intelligence from the intellectual level of discussion of the Olympic Games. We are always thinking of sport passive, always staring blankly at the television screen, unlike in the Rembrandt painting, as to think hard before. Professor result of thinking: from ancient Greece as a starting player was between between God and mortals “heroes” in their efforts to reach the limit, trying to break through the body’s tragic, but also faces competition with others, but when the third one body – the audience appeared, the body movement will no longer be a pure “natural” body. Athletes who haunted keen eye, they become superior “superior body”, you can reap the benefits of “physical gold” and as if an everlasting “image of the body”, which attached to the body of the imagination, it is by the the media and the fashion brand made waves.

Lucy Liu featuring the U.S. version of “Harper’s Bazaar” 8 issue of the Olympic Games large

Occasionally can be seen today, fashion and the body to completely fragmented situation. The U.S. version of “Harper’s Bazaar” 8 monthly with a group of “Olympic large” ethnic Chinese actress Lucy Liu as a model, she was wearing a Dior dress standing custom boxing ring, waving Chanel 2.55 bag as a discus, foot Giuseppe Zanotti shoes play balance beam, to snatch position picked up two rivet-studded Gucci bag … … the balance of sports and fashion in the Lucy Liu, who distorted the body have been totally aggressive big cover up. This set of very large retro, as if it is the 20th century, 80 years Foucault object of criticism: “a person’s own body control and self-consciousness, can only be put into effect the operation of the power of the body to get: gymnastics, sports, muscle exercise nudist … … take off your clothes bar, to slender, good-looking, bronze tan is best! ”

England V & A Museum and the Olympic Games opened at the same of the “Sport vs Fashion” Exhibition

More fashion workers recognize that merely talking about the expense of clothing the body is not enough for scratching, and just like in the museum to watch the show clothes when the discomfort, the kind of gray-scarred hanging quiet and silent, to rigid posture create a kind of mausoleum effect, half-sly metaphor showing some depressing things, such as the body languish abhorrent, life is fear of passing.

“More and more luxury and more a better understanding of understanding of their consumers are no longer satisfied with the use of lower-level products in the Chinese market, customer base has definitely become more clear differentiation.” LaPrairie Senior Marketing and Public Relations Manager, said Pu Ying-ying .

As a result, “to go to China” is no longer an empty, Gucci is the best example.

Salvatore Ferragamo’s men’s designer Massimiliano Giornetti will begin designing women’s clothing and replace Cristina Ortiz.

Ortiz left on speculation for some time, he was in August 2007 into the Ferragamo company. Because of his design slick, Ferragamo’s wife, Wanda of his growing discontent, and accused him of insufficient enthusiasm for the job.

Ortiz the final quarter of the design will be the spring and summer 2010. Giornetti has started in 2010 autumn and winter clothing design work.
Since 2000, Giornetti for the Ferragamo brand of men’s design has won praise and growing sales, but this will be his first design ladies. 38-year-old Giornetti graduated from fashion school in Florence Polimoda, and studied at the London College of Fashion.

Salvatore Ferragamo the brand founder’s grandson, James Ferragamo will continue to work accessories. Ortiz, after leaving the Ferragamo company, will focus on the work of his namesake brand.

Luxury market, conducted in the Internet Age

Posted in News on February 11th, 2010 by mysite – Be the first to comment

Guide language: Web has increasingly become a commodity sold the big stage. Today, the luxury goods but also to join them. Expected network may soon become a luxury retail market sales.

Luxury market will be faced with the lowest point ever. According to a new survey predicts the past few years, people’s luxury spending will be reduced 6 percent, fell to 29.47 billion euros. London retail analysis firm Verdict, said Japan and the United States will bear the brunt of their respective 14.6% and 12.1% face of declining sales.

Once the global economic recovery, a distinct luxury retail market will appear. Which are now fashionable eye-catching than the appearance of goods, consumers are more inclined to the conservative products – According to the survey, people’s demand although fewer, but more requirements in terms of quality excellence. The Internet will become an important channel for selling luxury goods to help them to expand markets and reduce costs. While luxury brands are usually the use of e-commerce is not so positive, but this change will encourage retailers to sell their business innovation.

“The Internet is particularly suitable for jewelry accessories, such as watches and jewelry, they do not like the clothes do not fit as a fit problem, and online retail platforms such as the private sector can provide just the design and production of personalized service.” Verdict said the company , other luxury goods companies will have to look for measures to cope with the volatile currency markets.

To seize the customer’s heart, or eye

At one time, high fashion brands are always superior attitude, accept the cult of the people who love fashion. The heavy door of their store is always tightly closed, and only a few in each country set up shop in several cities. This situation seems to be gradually changing.

This year in June, Dolce & Gabbana announced the formal establishment of an online store dandgstore.com, selling goods among men and women clothing series, there are accessories, swimwear and perfume and so on, and its cover as many as 31 countries. As early as in early 2008, Yves Saint Laurent’s design director Stefano Pilati in order to save expenses, had the YSL Rive Gauche men’s range of conference, autumn and winter scene shifted to the network, while the form of video-branded Web sites, YouTube, and Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio published.

When the Christian Lacroix, Just Cavalli High fashion brands such as the news have spread the brink of bankruptcy, brand awareness, superior attitude as if does not work. In addition to price cuts, it also must provide customers with more shopping channels, so as to enhance their sales performance; the other hand, those who would otherwise purchase of a few big-name apparel, customers may now only focus on a brand above the and therefore bear the brunt of all the brand needs to be done is to seize the hearts of customers, so that they become his loyal buyers.

The most effective way? Of course, the network.

Network evolution to today, has become an indispensable part of people’s lives. Network interaction, openness and timeliness so many former can not become possible. And as YouTube, Twitter, and online communities like Facebook, but also the sharing and interactive features will be played to the limit, this stage is called “Web 2.0 era.” For those first-line brands, in order to play well “affinity card”, to narrow the distance between the brand and customers, do not use the Internet, it’s like the talk.

Interactive, or wait and see

However, the Web 2.0 era has brought not only opportunities but also risks. The network characteristics make everyone can speak their minds, brands are in this area, has lost in the traditional media as a powerful control; while some countries with a large number of loyal readers well-known blog, it can offer many brand integrity while the value of feedback, on the other hand, brand blog, if subject to criticism, negative impacts can be significant. Is a step forward, or continue to wait and see? Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton to make a different choice.

Alexander McQueen is not only set up their own online communities, but also employed a MySpace user for its brands aimed at young people McQ planning advertising; Louis Vuitton here seems little more cautious, even though several cities have opened up an online shopping service, However, online communities and forums, seems uncertain. However, there is little the same, the two brands and blog writers have maintained close contact, and in order to deal with media standards to treat these writers.

And the Louis Vuitton brand, like staying on the sidelines holding a minority, such as Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Emporio Armani, and Dolce & Gabbana, etc. Although these are big line on the Internet to sell goods, still not a established his own online community. Like Louis Vuitton senior said: “We are still in wait and see during the … … After all, the Internet is a no bottom line, beyond the control of the world.”

There is no bottom line, not control it. Perhaps this is a lot of first-line brands on whether to take “interactive” This is a move up her mind, one of the reasons, after all, water can carry a boat can also capsize.

This concern is understandable. The long history of luxury brands took a very long time to shape their own brand image, a lot of energy to control the media and advertising in promoting their own products used by the rhetoric and context, which is in open communication, once all the space, its perfect difficult to ensure that the image is not undermined. Like “The market is a conversation (The Cluetrain Manifesto)” said: “People here know more about themselves than the brand of their products. Moreover, whether good or bad news is, they would tell everyone.”

Expedient still insist on posture

The most expensive Vertu mobile phone from the June 24 start in the (Western Europe, a brand-name discount site) to do online promotions, the price will be four off the original retail price. This online style price cuts include the Signature Diamant, Constellation and Ascent, are the seasonal series, also in Vertu’s sales in stores. Signature of this Series is in September 2008 in Paris, launched in just less than one year were classified as to the promotion of. But at the same time, those who will be four fold to do promotional mobile phone Vertu series actually still on the official website.

All sales where the brand is doing the same, the whole price-cutting products will be sold out within a few hours; but these are usually not sold the stock the previous quarter. Obviously the Vertu does not comply with the golden rules of retail that is, “never able to cut prices to sell the shelves in retail stores buy seasonal goods.”

Some brands choose to maintain his own position, walked the traditional old, not to explore the Internet store, do not interact online. Chanel is one of the representative. In May this year, Chanel posted on its Web site the latest No.5 perfume commercials, and the square in this fashion last year co-exclusive video site a series of advertisements broadcast video, but these videos have been reproduced is strictly prohibited and any person who try reproduced, will jump out of line “will be held liable,” the letter, but the audience wanted to comment have no way to start with. Chanel insisted not to sell their goods online, although the loss will be a lot of money every year, but to ensure his “own nose clean” of good reputation, merits and demerits of, is hardly conclusive.

While the same brand of Christian Dior in France has been actively using a variety of network resources, the brand promotion. This year, May 20, Dior online release of the film “The Lady Noire Affair”, which is Dior created specifically for the network a series of short films (a total of four, each about 6 minutes) the first part. In order to promote this series of short films, Dior make full use of the network propaganda advantage. It first established by the end of April this year, the web site, and then carefully selected a group blog, in the above paragraph 8 seconds broadcast of interactive video clips. On the screen, Marion Cotillard for Lady Dior interpretation of Lady Dior handbag in hand, video clips to people two questions: “What is her handbag?” “She was looking at what?” Then, Lady Dior topic also appears in Twitter, in a day and will be updated a twit, while also continue to add more Snapshots.

More than that, Dior and other sites through co-operation to encourage people to go there to look for clues Lady Dior and give prizes discoverer. At the same time, Dior Youyi e-mail form to send promotional materials to customers in Europe, and intends to make trailers spread each site and blog.

The results showed that this ad campaign has made remarkable success: There are more than 1200 websites that broadcast the Department of 8 seconds of the interactive video clips; Twitter, there are 1300 (the number continues to increase) the follower always concerned about the Lady Dior dynamic; about 100 million Web sites mentioned in the film; and www.ladydior.com Since its inception, has been more than two million hits; more worthy of attention is only one month, Dior world had the same number of landing sites Over the past 6 months the total number of flat.

Whether, like Chanel so insistent on their own high-profile, or, as Alexander McQueen, or Dior, as measured by a more proactive manner and consumers closer relations, there is a trend will not change, that is, the network’s impact will be more on the fashion to the greater. Like Luxury Institute’s CEO Milton Pedraza said: “The brand and among the public dialogue on the network will be the trend – especially those who update cycle is short, driven by the trend of the industry, such as fashion. To create these interactive communities, and may be the brand consumers and fans, may be an independent third party, it could be the brand itself – or three seven men are. In any case, most of the luxury brands will eventually enter a new era of Web 2.0. ”
