Digital Luxury
Transforming Brands and Consumer Experiences
SAGE Publications, 2019
Aperçu
Luxury brands are bringing that special something to the digital space.
Recommendation
Luxury brands have hesitated to jump into digital technologies for fear of diluting the unique qualities that make them so alluring. Marketing expert Wided Batat illuminates how to employ digital as a delightful extension of your high-end brand’s mythos and values to “enchant” customers. Though her phrasing is sometimes awkward, Batat describes compelling case studies of how luxury companies have integrated digital technology to positive effect. Note the gorgeous cover, though, alas, there’s no art inside except charts and graphs. The author clearly knows her subject, and offers tips and strategic thinking for marketing and brand professionals.
